We were treated to a rather special scene Thursday, from the first moments of the duel between the Calgary Flames and the Winnipeg Jets.
Forward Milan Lucic and defenseman Nathan Beaulieu threw the gloves away from the start and we saw the tough Flames player skate through the Manitoba roster to get to his opponent.
Several punches were then thrown by Lucic and his team seemed to enjoy the spectacle as they took a 1-0 lead three minutes later.
