Panthers, Oilers Players Brawl In Stanley Cup Final

Triple H couldn’t script a better fight than the one that broke out during Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final on Monday … with Florida Panthers and Edmonton Oilers players duking it out right on the ice!!

The chaos took place midway through the final period … when Oilers center Trent Frederic cross-checked Sam Bennett of the Panthers. All hell broke loose at that point … with four other one-on-one fights unfolding from there.

The officials tried their damnedest to break up the scraps … with some even finding themselves right in the middle of the action.

The main event of the card was certainly between the Oilers’ Darnell Nurse and Panthers’ Jonah Gadjovich … who traded punches as the refs let them sort things out on their own.

A slew of 10-minute misconduct penalties were handed down as a result of the melee … but if ya thought that would stop the violence, think again.

Once play resumed, so did the scraps … and ultimately, the Panthers got a 5-on-3 power play when the Oilers’ Jake Walman intervened in another brawl to help his teammate, John Klingberg, in a bout with the Panthers’ Matthew Tkachuk.

It was a physical night to say the least … but only one team was able to have its hand raised at the end — and Florida took the 6-1 win to take the lead through three games.
