LINE BRAWL off the opening faceoff between Boston and Tampa

The Boston Bruins are currently hosting the Tampa Bay Lightning in a battle of the Atlantic Division today, and at the time of writing, the score is 2-1 Bruins.

These two have played in some heated playoff series in the past, and it looks like both teams are getting ready for the playoffs in what will most likely be a second round clash.

Right off the opening faceoff in this game, Garnett Hathaway and Patrick Maroon started pushing at each other and things escalated quickly once the puck was dropped.
