Craig Berube Calls Out Tim Stutzle Ahead of Much Anticipated Battle of Ontario

The Battle of Ontario is set to be in full swing in less than 24 hours, and Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube is already calling out Senators forward Tim Stutzle.

The Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators will be taking on one another in the 1st Battle of Ontario since 2004; that series went the distance and was one of only a pair of occasions since that year that the Maple Leafs have managed to advance past the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Ahead of Game 1 on Sunday night, Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube is already sending a message to Senators forward Tim Stutzle, who not only manages to goad the opposition into penalties but also has a well-deserved reputation for trying to draw calls himself.

We've discussed it. I think they lead the league. Stutzle is one that draws a lot of penalties, we looked at a lot of that and talked about a lot of it.

We gotta be disciplined. But you can't be tentative either we gotta play physical, we gotta be aggressive and deal with what we gotta deal with.
