Josh Lewenberg @JLew1050
Wow, Justin Champagnie and PJ Washington are both ejected for what looked like a pretty minor scuffle. So the Raptors, who were already without VanVleet, Barnes and Birch, are down another body.
Watanabe checks in, and… wait… is that Malachi Flynn’s music? – 7:38 PM

Wow. Justin Champagnie and PJ Washington ejected! Might not have even gotten two minutes for roughing had the ice been down here. – 7:36 PM

Yo that was a dirty hit from PJ Washington on the other end. Refs are only gonna see Champagnie’s hit and view him as the instigator though. – 7:34 PM
Michael Grange @michaelgrange
I’m telling you, Justin Champagnie is a consistent corner three away from being a TO folk hero. Book it. – 7:33 PM

We’ve got some Justin Champagnie contretemps with P.J. Washington, I believe. – 7:32 PM
