Hockey is an emotional sport, and sometimes tensions can get out of hand. In a game between the Golden Knights and Lightning, things went a little crazy.
Lightning and Golden Knights Combine for 146 PIMS
It's not abnormal for a crazy game to have a fight, and maybe a game misconduct thrown in, as well as a couple of minors assessed. This makes the threshold for a crazy game to be about 30 combined PIMS.
The Golden Knights and Lightning multiplied that by five.
Several game misconducts in a scrum late in the third made this one of the craziest games we've ever seen. Ten players were ejected. The funniest part quite frankly is that no team got a major advantage as almost all of the penalties were coincidental.

I'm sure their coaches weren't too happy luckily none of those involved were in the Lady Byng discussion!
Do you think referees are fair in the NHL?
