Forget the fact that the Toronto Maple Leafs thoroughly manhandled the Canadiens in Montreal on a Saturday night.
The talk after the 6-0 victory centred around an alleged bite by Maple Leafs forward Mikhail Grabovski on Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty during a scrum near the end of the game.
QMI Agency photographer Ben Pelosse captured this image in the photo that shows the arm of Pacioretty in the face of Grabovski.
After the alleged bite, Pacioretty motioned his arm to the referee to let him see it while still entangled with Grabovski.
This is not the first time that a player has accused another of biting. During Game 1 of the 2011 Stanley Cup final, Vancouver Canucks forward Alex Burrows was accused of biting Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron's left index finger. After the NHL reviewed the incident, Burrows was not suspended.
