It's rare to see a hockey fight start inside the penalty box, but that's exactly what happened during a recent game between the ECHL's Utah Grizzlies and Colorado Eagles.
After being sent to the box for cross-checking, Grizzles forward Jon Puskar exchanged some words with Eagles defenseman Michael Sdao while the door was still open. Whatever he said clearly ticked off Sdao, because the Eagles player then stepped into the box and began throwing punches at him.
Sdao's actions earned him a three-game suspension and an undisclosed fine.
