In case you didn’t catch it earlier, here’s the video (from HockeyFights.com) from tonight’s 4-1 victory of that second fight between Nashville Predator Jordin Tootoo and Kenndal McArdle of the Florida Panthers. You’ll have to forgive the homer announcers from Florida calling it a dirty play by Tootoo, McArdle pretty much begged and pleaded for this fight and then got much more than he could handle:
What do you think, did Toots cross any boundaries here? The guys were standing toe to toe when the first blows got thrown, so I don’t see it…
Added note: this fight pushed Tootoo ahead of Scott Hartnell as Nashville’s all-time penalty minutes leader, with 548.
