Nazem Kadri was actually doing a decent job of keeping his cool.
There was the on-ice wrestling match that ended with the Toronto Maple Leafs centre getting punched in the face by Boston Bruins winger Jake DeBrusk.
The NHL's department of public safety tweeted it had offered Kadri an in-person hearing. That means the league has the option to suspend him for more than five games. Kadri, who was not made available to the media Saturday, was banned three games for boarding on Bruins winger Tommy Wingels in the opener of last year's seven-game defeat to Boston.
"It's disappointing for Naz, it's disappointing for our team," Babcock said. "We've just got to move on."
