Perhaps the most discussed fight of the game, alternatively, was that between David Pastrnak and Matthew Tkachuk. Both players dropped the gloves and landed punches while the other was on the ground and tried continuing after officials tried to separate them.
Although many fans have enjoyed the old-school aggression on the ice, this dirty fight between the two seemed to leave the NHL no choice but to issue a warning. In this, they state that for the remainder of their series, the Panthers and Bruins will both be under much heavier scrutiny.
Unsurprisingly, hockey fans are not happy about this decision. The second round of the playoffs was finally on track for some tough competition, and it seems to many that the NHL is trying to stop this.
The Florida Panthers and Boston Bruins will make their appearance for game three of their series this evening at TD Garden. With both teams trying to take the series lead, we may still have a brutal matchup ahead.
