Last night, in Florida, hockey fans got to see a much more physical game than the first one on the ice of Amarent Bank Arena. It was marked by many big hits from both teams and scrums.
Unfortunately, Aaron Ekblad may have taken things too far. During a scrum, he grabbed Evan Bouchard and held him in a headlock for a while. At some point, Bouchard had to tap out, but Ekblad didn't.
It's safe to say that as the stakes get higher, and the Oilers reunite with their fans, intensity should rise to a new level on Wednesday for game three.
