Nothing like a bit of biffo….

And this is why I love hockey…
It turned violent in the second period when Mike Brown punched Milan Lucic in the face, then the Bruins wing took Brown down and bashed him repeatedly in the back of the head while he was on the ice. Sheldon Brookbank came to his teammate’s rescue and Boston’s Marc Savard joined in as well, trying to clean things out.
Lucic and Brown continued jawing at each other in the penalty box while Brookbank was escorted out with a game misconduct as the third man in. Forty-four seconds later, Savard got tired of being crosschecked by Scott Niedermayer outside Ducks’ zone and dropped the gloves with him.
In all, there were 58 penalty minutes in the game, which was played on the anniversary of the 1981 game between Boston and the Minnesota North Stars that set the NHL record of 406 penalty minutes. Neither Lucic nor Savard played in the third period; Julien confirmed they were injured but gave no information other than “upper body.”
