Not really the kind of thing you like to see from someone in a NHL hockey fight.
Matthew Tkachuk of the Florida Panthers and Mark Scheifele of the Winnipeg Jets decided to drop the gloves Saturday after a hit Scheifele was not happy about. After a retaliatory slash on Tkachuk, the two agree to square off, and away they go.
While both looked ready to go, Scheifele lost his footing early on and fell to the ice, taking Tkachuk with him. With Scheifele on his side and Tkachuk on his knees, Tkachuk took the opportunity to get a couple more punches in. Good ones, too.
And from another angle where Scheifele is facing the camera.
Both were given fighting majors, while Tkachuk got the extra two for roughing.
