Milan Lucic beats up Ian Cole

Despite being older, Milan Lucic is still one of the toughest heavyweights in the NHL. Because of that more players often avoid dropping the gloves with him. But sometimes something forces someone's hand.

That's what happened today during a game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Calgary Flames. In the 1st period Milan Lucic bumped into Andrei Vasilevskiy, and one of his teammates came to his defense.

Unfortunately for Ian Cole, that job feel to him to defend his goalie and that came at a price.
