Fights during camp are pretty common at high levels of hockey. Intensity runs very high for a variety of reasons – team expectations, personal expectations, battles for roster spots, etc. However, this one feels a little different. Subban appeared to be very frustrated, even after the scrum. Wood seemed irritated that Subban elevated the encounter to the level it reached.
Wood, a known agitator, has a history of getting under the skin of anyone he faces. He finds himself in scrums in the NHL consistently and faced some scrutiny from New Jersey Devil Wayne Simmonds while he was with the club last season.
