The game between the St. Louis Blues and the Arizona Coyotes was intense.
A major scene unfolded involving Liam O'Brien and Sammy Blais.
It started when Blais legally cross-checked O'Brien. Then, O'Brien retaliated and broke his stick on Blais' back while cross-checking him.
Blais stayed in the game, but O'Brien had something else in mind.
He chased him down the ice and forced him to drop the gloves.
Here's how it went down:
In 2004, Todd Bertuzzi made a similar play on Trevor Moore and was sued for it.
The whole thing became one of the biggest stories in hockey for that decade.
We're glad that this old-school type of hockey doesn't come up too often nowadays.
