Video: Dion Phaneuf uses his body as a weapon in the preseason.

Generally speaking preseason hockey is usually pretty tame, however this season for whatever reason teams and players have seemed more willing to get physical with one another.

On Tuesday night during a preseason match up between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Buffalo Sabres, Leaf's captain Dion Phaneuf got very psychical with Buffalo's Brendan Guhle when he dropped him to the ice with a massive hit.

You don't usually see car crashes like this in the preseason, but for whatever reason Phaneuf was looking to make a statement and he did just that.
