Scott Sabourin ❌ Match Penalty ❌ Against Aaron Ekblad

[Applause] Two minutes gone by in this opening period. Kulakov stays with Jeff Petri as a defense pair. They’ve been together and presumably will be when the season starts. Then the three players, you know, Randy mentioned, you’ve got Ma with Greor and Steno on the same line. Oh, it’s getting nasty in behind the play. Savin attacks Aaron Ecklad. Oh my goodness. right in the head. I mean, that’s just ridiculous. I mean, the game’s the game. The game is physical, but for a guy like Saburn, who’s now yelling at the Panther bench, going after Aaron Ecklad, had no chance of making the NHL. They just called him up for that reason. We’ll see how the officials Tampa number 46 has a match penalty. match penalty as well. It should be. It’s It’s a no-brainer. Good job by the officials. He’s still having words for the Panther bench. Well, he’s got no chance in playing in the National Hockey League. So, there’s the big hit. That was clean hit. Okay. And then he gets up and then he just goes right after Eklad and drops the gloves and just starts throwing them. Just glad went to the dressing room by the way. Just awful. Awful. Premeditated. Now the Panthers can’t be pleased with that. And uh 2 minutes and 18 seconds into the game. Here we go.

  1. Florida is the dirtiest team in the league. No sympathy whatsoever. Got what they deserve, and if the NHL doesn’t want to hold them to the same standard as every other team, then I will continue to have no sympathy for them.

  5. Absolutely pre meditated ita the hegining of the game thats BS the hitnwas fine but the shot to the face and jumping a guy is stupid, wanna fight let him drop the gloves and beat him fairly dont be a bitch

  11. Absolutely disgusting. The Lightning did not play hockey tonight, they just assaulted a good hockey team for 60 minutes while they got DOMINATED on the score sheet. I really hope someone takes a skate blade to Kucherov's neck for how much bullshit they pulled tonight.

  22. Oh so now it's "the game is the game"…ok. This is who the Panthers are and have been last several seasons. This is their identity and what they have invited from the opposition. I hope they see this level of retaliation throughout the season by every team they have done similar to, because that would be fair.

  39. Oh noooooo why would anyone go after a stand up guy like ekblad who targeted multiple players in the post season oooo noooooooo… announcer need to give their head a shake and watch their own dirtbag of a team. Fuckin scumbags

  40. seriously the Panthers are the biggest cheap shot artists ever and without those cheap shots they wouldn’t have won any Cups

  42. Hockey is shit.
    There is zero respect between players. You see this sort of BS every year. The game doesn't police itself by allowing fights.
    Hockey is druggies with anger issues and a stick
