Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk fought longtime Bruins favorite David Pastrnak at the end of Wednesday night's Game 2 in the NHL's Eastern Conference semifinal matchup.
After the dust-up, Pastrnak made sure to let Tkachuk know, with at least three more games left in the series that 'I'm not afraid - I can take a punch!'
The result of Wednesday night's game was already in hand with Florida leading 6-1, a reversal from Monday's Game 1, where Boston won on the road 5-1.
Getting blown out leads to frustrations, especially with the pressure and spotlight that comes alongside playoff hockey.
That combination led to two of the biggest stars in the Panthers-Bruins series dropping the gloves and throwing haymakers, even as three officials tried to separate them.
