Chicago Blackhawks Pat Maroon Receives 15-Minute Penalty After Knocking Ross Johnston's Bucket Off in Tilt
The Chicago BlackHawks have established dominance over the Anaheim Ducks tonight. While it wasn't a perfect game, the Hawks have scored 3 goals, and Bedard has 2 points tonight.
Ross Johnston is primarily a goon first, and a hockey player way, way down the line. As Ross Rhea said in the movie "Goon" to Doug Glatt "I'm not a hockey player".
Johnston has played only 206 NHL games during his career and scored 28 total points( 10 G, 18 A) in that timeframe.
Much like Rhea and Glatt, he has to fight to give the time some spark, and momentum in the game.
And tonight Pat Maroon, a former Stanley Cup champion, and once serviceable winger is now in the same position.
While he remains a piece on the Blackhawks' power play and arguably isn't an offensive weapon this late in his career.
The fight would occur with 1:07 left in the 2nd period.
Maroon would grab Johnston's jersey to start the tilt and use his jersey to give him a few small jabs. Johnston would throw some rights, but wouldn't land any significant hits.
Johnston would pull him, and they'd continue scrapping into the boards, where Johnston would land some right hands, and some shots to the ribs of Maroon.
Where Maroon would do his best to land one or two good punches, but nothing major. At 00:37 into the fight, Maroon would land the most damage with left-handed jabs to Johnston's face.
All in all, a great scrap but there wasn't a definitive winner in the fight. But Johnston wasn't attempting to just fight but to inspire some fight in his team.
They haven't been able to find tonight to win the game.
The Ducks have a goal thanks to
Brock McGinn, but one goal isn't good enough tonight.
