You Did What?

We may all expect it from the Ducks, but whenever the Red Wings drop the gloves the last few years, it always comes as a surprise.  Danny Markov took on Shawn Thornton during last night’s Wings 2-1 win.  It’s not going to get high ratings here, but the Detroit crowd didn’t seem to mind.

The Detroit News, Detroit Free Press and Michigan Live all have the game on the front of the website.  Freep and mlive are both using the AP recap.  What’s going on over there?  The OC Register also had the game as the main article on the front page.
