In An Unexpected Moment As Gallagher Goes Toe-To-Toe With Pageau
At Belmont Park's UBS Arena, hockey fans saw something unexpected, Islanders Jean Gabriel Pageau and Canadiens Brendan Gallagher getting into a fight. This wasn't a sudden thing—they've been brewing up trouble for weeks.
The tension between Pageau and Gallagher started a while back, and tonight it reached a breaking point. They finally threw punches, starting slow but ending in a flurry, with Pageau landing some good ones.
We're not exactly sure why they fought, but it probably had to do with some rough plays earlier in the game and in previous matchups.
In hockey, fights happen sometimes. Whether they belong in the game is up for debate, but in the heat of the moment, they let players settle their scores and add more excitement to the game.
