Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nazem Kadri said on Monday that he was about to go over the boards to join the melee in Sundays game against Buffalo when teammate Joffrey Lupul pulled him back. "Its tough especially when you see one of your friends and better players getting taken advantage of," explained Kadri. "Lupes actually had to kind of drag me back in the bench. I tried to get a hold of Clarky (David Clarkson) but he was kind of up and at it. "Obviously (Clarkson) is a little bummed out, wishes things happened a little differently," said Kadri. Clarkson is facing a 10-game suspension after he jumped over the boards to join a line brawl that saw Jamie Devane fight Corey Tropp, followed by a showdown between Phil Kessel and John Scott and eventually goalies Jonathan Bernier and Ryan Miller. Kadri described the mood on the bench after the Devane-Tropp fight. "We had a funny feeling that maybe something was going to happen but not nearly that." Maple Leafs forward Joe Colborne said that once Scott started chasing Kessel, the Toronto bench was ready to take action. "I think every single guy on our bench was looking to jump out there," explained Colborne. Leafs head coach Randy Carlyle said he didnt expect to witness the scene that unfolded. "Obviously, I made a mistake [sending Kessel out] but I never believed in my wildest dreams the attack would be directed at [him]," said Carlyle. "This rarely happens any more ... when was the last time something like this happened?" Kadri said that Kessels stick-swinging as he was backing away from Scott was justified. "Its self defence ... Im actually surprised he didnt whack him a little higher," said Kadri. Speaking at Sabres practice in Buffalo on Monday, Scott understood the uproar about the incident and directed some of the blame back at Carlyle. "Id be pissed off if someone went after my star guy too. Its one of those things their coach didnt have to put Kessel out with me." On Kessel, Scott explained, "Ive never seen a stick swing like that ... it was an even fight I guess if he had his stick. I didnt have anything." Toronto captain Dion Phaneuf also weighed in on the situation. "I thought for our team, to stick together the way that we did, thats something that we take pride in. The pre-season gets downplayed but theres still a lot of emotion," said Phaneuf. Kadri also noted that when the Leafs face the Sabres on Nov. 15 in Buffalo, "thats probably going to be circled on a lot of peoples calendars." - With files from TSN Toronto reporter Mark Masters Cheap Jordans For Sale .com) - Real Madrid claimed its 20th consecutive win across all competitions by cruising to a 4-1 victory at Almeria on Friday.

PETERSBURG, Fla. TORONTO -- The Toronto Raptors shocked many on the draft floor by going off the board and selecting Brazilian forward Bruno Caboclo with their 20th selection on Thursday night. But Raptors general manager Masai Ujiri said the pick didnt come out of nowhere. Ujiri said he had been tracking Caboclo since the 2013 Basketball Without Borders tournament, where he was named tournament MVP. "Bruno was one of our next guys and we decided we lost one (Tyler Ennis), were not going to lose the second one. We jumped on it," said Ujiri. "We felt like hes second on our board so lets get aggressive. "Hes a few years away, but hes a talent that I think, at the end of the day, we will be happy that we picked. Well develop him and were excited that we got a talent like that." Head coach Dwane Casey said that budding talent was something the team simply could not pass up. "There were some other guys on the board, but still with this young mans potential, I dont think the other guys on the board have the potential as high as Bruno and that was the deciding factor for us," Casey said. The Raptors, who had been linked to Ennis -- a point guard from Brampton, Ont. -- had to quickly shift their focus once the Syracuse product was selected 18th overall by the Phoenix Suns. With Ennis no longer available, Casey says Caboclo became Torontos clear choice. "(Caboclo) is one of those guys that we had to move and get him at 20 once we didnt have a chance to get Tyler Ennis," said Casey. "We had a program in place where we were going to try and get Tyler and Bruno. Once we couldnt move up and get Tyler, Bruno was the guy." Casey said Toronto was one of just three or four teams who knew of Caboclo, a native of Sao Paolo, but Phoenix was also in the mix. With the Suns holding the No. 27 pick, the Raptorss didnt feel Caboclo would drop to the 37th pick, where Toronto selected second.dddddddddddd "When you start to hear that the guy could be gone at certain places, we started to hear in the late first round," Ujiri said. "Sometimes it gets frustrating where you dont get the picks that you want and you lose a guy and that happened to us earlier." Toronto also picked DeAndre Daniels, a six-foot-nine forward out of UConn, with the 37th overall selection. The Raptors ended their draft by taking 6-4 guard Xavier Thames with the 59th pick, but quickly dealt him to the Brooklyn Nets for cash considerations. Caboclo, who will turn 19 in September, is a 6-8 swingman with a 7-7 wingspan. He spent the 2013-14 season with Pinheiros of the Brazilian league and played 16 games last year, scoring 4.9 points and grabbing 3.1 rebounds per game. "Hes one of those players with a tremendous amount of potential: athletic, wingspan, same wingspan as JaVale McGee," said Casey. "Hes raw, but again hes going to be a guy that develops in our program and grow and do a lot of things for us." The plan for Caboclo, who was en route to New York from Houston at the time of the Raptors pick, is to have him go to Los Angeles and work out with Raptors veterans DeMar DeRozan, Amir Johnson and Terrence Ross before heading to Las Vegas to participate in summer league action. "I think this development is important for him where hes getting used to the facilities, used to the training," Ujiri said. Caboclo is expected to fly to Toronto Friday. This isnt the first time Toronto has selected a Brazilian in the first round. In 2004, the Raptors used the eighth overall selection on Rafael Araujo, who spent two seasons with the Raptors from 2004-2006, averaging 2.9 points per game. ' ' '
