Multiple Ejections Handed Out in The Most Heated NHL Game of the Year
The Vegas Golden Knights put on a stunning display of dominance as they crushed the Florida Panthers with a resounding 7-2 victory.
However, it's not their scoring prowess that's grabbing the headlines, but rather the intense physicality of the game. This matchup turned out to be the most physical of the year, filled with penalties and misconducts.
Just take a look at this *clean* bone crushing hit by Matthew Tkachuk to spark the intensity of the game!
In a heated turn of events, the Panthers' Matthew Tkachuk received his second 10-minute misconduct of the Stanley Cup Finals series, resulting in his ejection from the game.
For what? It seems quite soft, Tkachuk swung his stick at a fake rat on the ice than slashed a Golden Knight, resulting in the ref giving him the boot.
Another blow came for the Panthers as Eric Staal was also ejected for an alleged "abuse of an official," although no. video has been posted online to show.
Amidst the goal-scoring spectacle, the fiery exchanges and ejections stole the spotlight in this highly charged contest.
