The game, unsurprisingly, featured 14 penalties and six power plays for each team. If that's not indication enough of the game's chippiness, here's Milan Lucic vs. Alexei Emelin, in three acts.
Emelin hip-checks Lucic.
Lucic cup-checks Emelin (via Stanley Cup of Chowder).
Lucic goes in on his postgame comments.
“Whether it’s fair, legal or whatever you want to call it, if he wasn’t scared, he would stand up and hit me and not go after my knees. It just shows how big of a chicken he is that he needs to go down like that to take me down,” he said, according to WEEI’s D.J. Bean.
The playoffs will be fun.
