With ten games on tap for Saturday there were tons of plays that could have made our Top 10 but these are the ones that we deemed worthy.

#10

Shawn Thornton takes on Zac Rinaldo – Thornton took exception to a hit that Rinaldo put on his teammate Johnny Boychuk leading to these knuckle sandwiches being thrown.

#9

Chris Terry’s first career goal – With mom and dad sitting up in the stands Terry’s first NHL goal sure gave them something to cheer for.

 

#8

Phil Kessel ties the game – The Leafs came back from being down most of the game to get a Kessel goal in the 3rd to tie the score late in the period.

#7

Cody Franson putting Sidney Crosby into the boards – He may have just been sliding over to block a shot but Franson tripped up Crosby causing him to crash into the boards earning our No. 7 play of the night.
