The New York Rangers and New Jersey Devils were quick to choose violence during Wednesday's matchup, engaging in an all-out fight that saw all but two players ejected as soon as the game opened.
Eight players were assessed fighting majors and ejected during the line brawl, which took place right after the puck drop at Madison Square Garden.
The Devils' Curtis Lazar and Rangers' Jimmy Vesey were hit with fighting majors but remained eligible to play as they were ruled to be the "first fight." Every other skater on the ice was ejected because of their "secondary altercations."
The tossed Rangers players included Jacob Trouba, Matt Rempe, K'Andre Miller and Barclay Goodrow. For the Devils, John Marino, Chris Tierney, Kurtis MacDermid and Kevin Bahl were ejected.

My Broad Street Bullies had Dave Schultz.
The thing about Schultz, was he could play AND fight.
A big reason they won the cup in 1974 was an OT win in Boston in the finals. During OT Schultz was basically riding the bench. A Bruins fan yelled to the Flyers’ coach Fred Shero “put in Schultz!” The fan, basically, wanted Schultz to get the Flyers into a short handed situation.
Shero put into Schultz….
…who stole the puck deep in the Bruins’ end, passed it to “Cowboy” Bill Flett, who fed it to Bobby Clark for the game winner.

Ya gotta back it up with skillz.
I go back and forth on what is the best sports movie ever…
Slap Shot
Or
Caddyshack
And yes, I’m infantile.
They weren't my team, but I really enjoyed the Anaheim Ducks of the last decade. Their top line was Getzlaf, Perry and Maroon.
Getzlaf had skill, Perry also had talent (and was a true pest) and Maroon would battle in the corners or go to net and cause chaos.
But they were ALL big guys who no one dared mess with.
Right there with ya, FRiend...:)
If anyone calls me “infantile” I will say “You look like you need to watch the movie to remove the controller from your tight rectum! Come on and sit down!”

Love that old joke! I was surprised how far down I had to go in the thread to find it.
You got to support the team
