This game appeared to be a dominant 9-3 victory by the New York Islanders, but when watching the plethora of fights in this game (17), it becomes clear that the NHL fining the Islanders $100,000 might not suffice. Islanders forwards Trevor Gillies and Matt Martin and Penguins forward Eric Godard were suspended as well.
Obviously fighting is a significant part of the sport of hockey, but not when it occurs play after play. The highlight video below is somewhat entertaining, to be honest, but not good for hockey. Mario Lemieux has already revealed his disgust with what took place on Friday night. Read his ESPN quotes here. Enjoy.
