Flashback: Blackhawks defenseman demolishes Stars forward in tilt.
With the Stars up four to one with three minutes and 31 seconds left in the third period and being outshot by almost a 2 to-one margin Blackhawks defenseman Connor Murphy had seen enough. He took on 22-year-old Ty Dellandrea and gave the fans something to cheer about.
After grappling for a few seconds, Connor Murphy managed to gain the upper hand and landed several bombs on Dellandrea's face.
That capped off a night where the Blackhawks even lost their starting goaltender who they ejected from the game after repeatedly jeering and jawing at the referees for a missed call against Luke Glendening on goaltender interference.
As written in a previous article, the Blackhawks have been facing some old-fashioned rivals from the Minnesota area with the Wild a few days ago and now the Stars who relocated to Dallas some years ago from Minnesota.
The tilt and the match felt like an old Norris division rival of the 1990s once again.
