They've been showing it on SportsCenter for about 3 days now. The best part is when one of the goalies takes a flying leap onto the dogpile.

There used to be some dandy fights in the old AHL, back when the Providence Reds played in the old RI Auditorium. Orland Kurtenbach played for the Reds in his minor league days. Moose Dupont and Battleship Kelly, too. The teams shared a single penalty box. Two guys would fight and go to the box separated only by the timekeeper. I wouldn't have taken his job on a bet. Plenty of times the brawls would start up again in the box and the benches would clear. Being the home team, the Reds had the advantage of having their bench on the same side of the ice as the box
