For those who watched the preseason game between the Florida Panthers and Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday, Sept. 19, you’d know that there wasn’t any shortage of fighting in that match.
Tensions were high, but what ultimately crossed the line was the dirty behavior committed by forward Max Domi who intentionally dropped his gloves and went after Aaron Ekblad who gave no consent to fight.
No one would question that fighting has always been a part of the game, but for a fight to occur, two players need to give their consent to drop the gloves and go for a dance.
