Monday night’s Florida Panthers and Ottawa Senators game featured one of the most comical fights of the NHL season so far.
As the back half of the third period played out, a host of Panthers and Senators got into an instant scuffle on the ice that stopped the entire game and broke out into an all-out brawl.
Once the referees got hold of the game, every single player on the ice got assessed with a 10-minute penalty that would knock them out for the rest of the game.
You know it’s a bad fight when literally every single player on the ice gets penalized for it.

We’re guessing that all of these guys will have to skate laps during practice after this one, even if the Florida players wouldn’t mind as much since they had a four-goal lead when the fight happened.
As for this referee, he got to make the call of the night and one he likely won’t forget for the rest of his career.
