Ottawa 67’s drop Owen Sound Attack 6-4 as Toffoli reaches scoring milestone – Winnipeg Free Press
Tyler Toffoli had three goals and an assist as the Ottawa 67’s earned a big 6-4 win over the Owen Sound Attack in Ontario Junior Hockey League action Sunday. The four points give Toffoli an even 200 for his OHL career. He is in his third season with the 67’s.
67’s Toffoli makes up for lost time
The usually mild-mannered Toffoli got tagged with the first misconduct “of my life” late in the opening period and had to stew in the penalty box for a total 12 minutes 36 seconds of elapsed playing time in what he said seemed almost like a life sentence. Once a free man again, however, Toffoli went right back to what he does best, single-handedly erasing a two-goal deficit in his first 5:01 of freedom on his way to his third hat trick of the season. Toffoli’s offence helped the 67’s (28-11-2) bounce the explosive Owen Sound Attack (25-13-2) in a statement game before 5,347 at the Rona Centre Sunday afternoon. All Toffoli did was question the officials about linemate Shane Prince being pulled down in front of the Owen Sound goal as the Attack went up ice and scored the game’s opening goal at 15:39. […] “It’s a terrible feeling,” said Toffoli, now with 38 goals in 41 games on the season to surpass his total of 37 from last year. “It looked like their guy hauled down (Prince) and I got a little upset, and the ref kind of said, ‘One more word …’ and I stopped talking. And he still gave it to me.”

This may be the first time we’ve ever written or considered the following, but Ed Snider is awesome. After hearing Ted Leonsis was impressed that Penguins and Capitals fans bonded over a “Flyers Suck” chant at the Winter Classic, he said: “It was an interesting tongue-in-cheek observation. I like the fact that there two teams playing each other and the fans are yelling, ‘Flyers suck.’ I think it’s kind of funny. It’s a testament to the Flyers, I think. … I loved it, I loved it. I thought it was pretty unbelievable. I haven’t called [Leonsis], but I probably will.” [CSN Philly]
