In case you missed it last night, the New York Rangers and Tampa Bay Lightning put on a show

The Rangers ended up doubling up on the Bolts for a 6-3 victory but after the game all the talk was about the melee that transpired midway through the game after the Rangers took umbrage with Alex Killorn's slash on goaltender Igor Shesterkin.

Here's the entire sequence:


Today, NHL Player Safety announced that Killorn has earned himself a $5,000 fine for that little slash on Shesterkin.


Incidentally, Rangers defenseman Adam Fox has also been fined $5,000 for spearing Lightning forward Corey Perry in another scrum in front of the Rangers' net.


Honestly... it's a damn shame that with the way the NHL structures its playoff seedings that we likely won't get to see a playoff series between these team bitter rivals. I mean... who wouldn't sign up for 7 games of this?
