‘It was also a very physical game with big hits and a few brawls. Matt Bradley and Adam Mair dropped the gloves in the second period. Later in the period, Brendan Witt would get a game misconduct as he pummeled Thomas Vanek along the boards. A third scrum was set off when Alexander Ovechkin hit Martin Biron when he came out of the net to play the puck. Paul Gaustad and Shawn Morrisonn battled to a draw during the ensuing ruckus.’
