Senators Under Investigation For Controversial Antics Directed at Leafs Goalie Anthony Stolarz

A second consecutive overtime victory on Thursday night gave the Leafs a commanding 3-0 series lead over the Ottawa Senators in the renewed Battle of Ontario.

Through the first two games, the Senators were doing everything they could to disrupt Stolarz, until he took matters into his own hands.

Given that nothing worked during Games 1 and 2, the Senators reportedly tried to get into the Stanley Cup Champion's head during the pre-game warmups in Game 3, but those attempts are now being investigated by the league, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

Following Dreger's initial post on 'X' long-time Senators reporter Bruce Garrioch noted that Senators players were lobbing pucks at Stolarz.

As if diving wasn't already a concern already after Tim Stutzle's latest antics, now the Leafs are dealing with pre-game issues with the Sens as well.

Everyone understands that you want to do anything to gain an advantage, but this takes things a tad too far. It shouldn't come as a surprise, though, given the immaturity of the Senators and the emotion they felt playing in front of their home crowd.

While it may result in nothing more than a fine for the team, the Senators may want to have a lengthy discussion with their players, specifically Brady Tkachuk, who is supposed to be a leader.
