The Boston Bruins are facing the Minnesota Wild tonight and the game has been anything but boring. With Wild forward Pat Maroon doing what he does best.

After a clean hit from Bruins' Parker Wotherspoon, Maroon makes him drop the gloves and answer the bell and it was no contest. Take a look.

Pat Maroon drops the gloves with Parker Wotherspoon for having the audacity to make a clean shoulder check in the D Zone.

I am once again begging NHL players to stop forcing fights after clean hits

Maroon not only got the jump on Wotherspoon, he never really gave him a chance. After all, this is Maroon's game and why he's been able to stay in the league as long as he has.

Maroon reacted to the snap of his teammates head after the questionable hit and took it to the rookie defender with just 17 games under his belt in the National Hockey League.
