Graboski sends message to old teamates with goal, assist

Graboski was clearly the best player for the Leafs last night in their 6-3 victory, mounting a goal, an assist and a lot of other impact that do not go noticed on the scoresheet.

Apparently Graboksi's old Habs' teammates are not fans of him, with both Koivu and Kostitsyn taking runs at him. When asked what Koivu told him on the ice after throwing him to the ground, Ponikarovsky, Graboski's translator said this "He (Koivu) gave him some special advice. He told him it would help him in the future. He (Grabovski) just listened to his advice because he respects him." Meanwhile Montreal coach Carbonneau said this about Graboski, "Listen, I have enough of my own problems. I don't really care about what he thinks or what he says. He's playing well, good for him." Don Cherry got in on the action, calling Graboski a diver, but then this is the same Don Cherry who calls Sidney Crosby and diver as well as any non anglophone Canadian under 6 feet tall.
