| Early in the third they're a few feet in front of Brodeur and get the sticks up high. The gloves drop quicker then you can say "lots of tugging". Purinton swings the left and connects with a couple in the shoulder/neck area. Nothing seems to phase Brown, who's trying to get a better position on the bigger Purinton. Brown throws his own left and then a couple of right uppercuts. They're grappling the whole time, you can tell they're going to burn out quick. Some more position-jockeying and Brown goes to cock his right back, Purinton grabs it, and they hug till the linesmen come in. |
