Breaking News: Leafs Enter Game 3 Knowing the Agitator Lurks—Will They Hold Their Nerve Against Greig’s Mind Games?
As the Toronto Maple Leafs prepare for the pivotal Game 3, one name continues to echo in the locker room—Ridly Greig. The Ottawa Senators forward has proven himself not just as a skilled player, but as a master agitator, getting under the Leafs’ skin in Games 1 and 2 with his relentless chirping, hits after the whistle, and timely offensive contributions.
While the spotlight often shines on stars like Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, it’s Greig who’s subtly shaping the tone of the series, drawing penalties, creating chaos, and disrupting Toronto’s rhythm. His presence looms large, and the question now is whether the Leafs can rise above the noise—or fall victim to it.
Insiders suggest the coaching staff has made it clear: ignore the antics, stick to the game plan, and don’t retaliate. But in the heat of playoff hockey, that’s easier said than done. Game 3 isn’t just about goals—it’s a psychological war.
With the series on a knife’s edge, all eyes will be on how Toronto responds. One misstep, one emotional outburst, could tip the balance. The agitator lurks. The battle begins.
