Gloves were dropped during the clash between the Flyers and Blue Jackets on Sunday, as Philadelphia’s Nicolas Deslauriers and Columbus’s Mathieu Olivier squared off at center ice for a fight that featured a rather unexpected ending.
After circling and posturing up for a few moments, the pair began launching blows, and both sides connected with some solid contact during what turned into a lengthy brawl. As the fight continued to drag on, both players started to run out of gas, struggling to maintain their stamina while throwing a bevy of punches.
After a while, Deslauriers and Olivier hilariously agreed to stop the fight, giving each other a respectful pat on the helmet before parting ways back to their respective benches.
