Antropov Suspended

As per TSN's Darren Dreger, Nik Antropov has been suspended for 3 games due to his actions towards a referee last night. Witnesses at the game claim the tall Kazak threw his stick at the referee after captain Rod Brind'Amour scored the game-winning goal in overtime. Abuse of a referee carries an automatic 3 game suspension. Unfortunately for Toronto, they are already dealing with a rash of injuries; add the Leafs' second leading point-getter and you have a recipe for failure. It is yet to be seen if Fletcher will make any depth decisions before the deadline or turn to the "firesale" mode many Leaf fans so desperately crave.
