Flyers and Leafs Rivalry Picks Up
Philadelphia Flyers rookie Zac Rinaldo was welcomed to the continuous battle between the Flyers and Toronto Maple Leafs by veteran tough guy Mike Brown in a rough way.
About halfway through the first period the two dropped the mitts, and Brown put Rinaldo down with a flurry of right hands. With two more games between the rivals in March, this may not be the only time RInaldo gets his shot at Brown.
Scott Hartnell and Dion Phaneuf also threw down when Hartnell didn’t take too kindly to Phaneuf giving him a hack as he scored the first goal of the game. It was a short bout with more grappling than punching.
Agitator vs Agitator
Vancouver pest Maxim Lapierre and Minnesota agitator Cal Clutterbuck dropped the mitts - and lids - and met up at center ice with a theatrical glove drop and square off.
As for the fight itself, Lapierre used his reach to negate most of Clutterbuck’s punches while landing over and under rights. In the end, it was the Canucks agitator getting the best of the Minnesota agitator. Shame it wasn't a mustache contest.
