The been there done that crowd knows this was over a minute after it was broken up. It started with an exchange of slashes. Spezza's comment is kinda funny though, "I knew when he dropped the gloves, it was time to get out of there. Just stay at arm's length." Yeah and hope the peacemakers arrive before yer spittin' teeth, lol.
The teammates are also seatmates in the room. Traded some glancing blows before the guys stepped in and broke it up.
Meh. The media make such a big deal out of this stuff when its really nothing at all. This stuff happens in practices all the time - we only hear about it in media saturated hockey towns.
