2nd Period - 0:57•2002-2003 Regular Season

Desjardins cross checks Thornton, and Thornton gives him a shot back. Thornton follows Desjardins up the ice, they get the sticks high and Thornton drops the gloves. He rips the helmet off of Eric, and Desjardins finally drops the gloves. They are both in pretty tight. Thornton throws a bunch of short punches that all connect, and Desjardins doesn't want any of it and the linesman break it up. Desjardins is bleeding right over his eye.
