Panthers player gets hit from behind, then gets up seeing red to fight his opponent
Tonight, two physical teams in the Florida Panthers and Nashville Predators squared off, and the game was just as animated as anyone would've expected. Specifically, Nashville's Yakov Trenin was a one-man wrecking crew in the game, but took it too far and paid the price when he laid a dirty hit from behind.
Trenin skated in and laid a hard hit to the numbers against Florida's Jonah Gadjovich. After falling to the ice and collecting himself for just a second, Gadjovich got up seeing red and went directly for revenge on Trenin in a fight. Gadjovich and Trenin spoke for a second before both tossing the gloves and going at it.
Both players landed some decent blows early on, but Gadjovich began laying a beating once Trenin's jersey came up over his face. From there, Trenin still battled, was was mostly flailing as Gadjovich got the better of him.
It's a fantastic sight to see a player stand up for not a teammate, but himself - and do it with the authority that Gadjovich did against a feared physical player like Trenin.
