Tim Stützle's reputation around the NHL does him no favors with the referees and opposing teams, and his actions on Friday afternoon showed more of the same. Simon Benoit made a physical play on the German striker, causing him to retaliate, taking a two-minute minor in the process.

Some say Stützle hit the Anaheim defender with the cuff of his glove, other say the butt-end of his stick made contact. Either way, it was a slightly dirty play by the Senators forward.
