When the Vancouver Canucks played the New Jersey Devils last night at Rogers Arena, the intensity of the emotions was at an all- time high.
When Vancouver defenseman Luke Schenn chose to deliver two strong, though controversial checks on a few Devils players in the second period, things really got heated.
Those hits will inevitably elicit a response, of course. Miles Wood, a player for the Devils, took offence and pushed Schenn. For Wood, things did not go well.
The former Flyer Luke Schenn was assessed a game misconduct for the fight, and multiple other players were ejected. Should the refs have stepped in earlier?
