The scuffle was quickly broken up by fellow teammates but the trend is disturbing nonetheless. After already having altercations with Tomas Plekanec, Mathieu [...]

The Detroit Red Wings are a legendary NHL Franchise. They’re an original six club with 11 Stanley Cup championships, most among any U.S. based teams. So it would make sense that such a historically significant hockey team would break another historically significant NHL record on Sunday night.
