The expert's take
- Fluto Shinzawa, Boston Globe: Big-time flareup between Milan Lucic and Mike Brown. Brown lands a straight right to start, goes down, then gets tagged by a round of bombs. Lucic points at Brown and yells something nasty as the two sit in the box.
The not-so expert's take
- Chris Forsberg, Boston.com: It's hard to spot any sort of cheap shot on the YouTube video (below), but, man, you don't want to make Lucic angry. The Bruins' fiery winger is unrelenting after dragging Brown to the ice leading to a big ol' scrum. Maybe he's been watching too much UFC.
- Brown flashed a shiv.
Locker room reaction
Claude Julien, Bruins</B>: "From what I heard, (Brown) got a cheap shot to start off. I guess that's what set (Lucic) off."
