While the Minnesota Wild crushed the Edmonton Oilers 5-1 on Tuesday night, the spotlight has been on Ryan Hartman and Evander Kane’s scrum on the ice.
It all started when Hartman’s teammate Kirill Kaprizov, who assisted both his goals last night, was cross-checked by Kane. The Oilers’ gritty forward was quickly surrounded by five Wild players before Hartman jumped at him during a scrap. That fight ended with Hartman flipping off Kane with a look of rage rarely seen on the ice.
Both earned roughing minors and 10-minute misconducts.
After the game, Hartman, who got fine earlier today, said that if he did get a fine it will be all worth it.
He also took another shot at Kane, saying that while all Wild players came to Kaprizov and his defense, no one showed up for Kane.
“It goes to show, we had five guys in there. They didn’t have one guy in there to help him. I don’t think any of their guys are going to defend him.”
He told Michael Russo, who went over to Kane to report his comments. And the Oilers’ forward fired back.
“It took all five guys and they couldn’t bring me down. It’s something. I definitely would have liked to get loose, put it that way.”
Kane then targeted Hartman, who flipped him off.
“Yeah, these little guys, they wanna act tough, but they wait for the linesmen to come in. There’s your quote guys.”
No love here. Can you imagine if these guys face off in the postseason??
