Sabres and Senators Brawl

On Thursday, February 22nd, the Sabres and the Senators threw down in one of the biggest brawls I've seen since the introduction of the "third man in" rule -- a rule that ejects the third player entering a fight, designed to prevent bench clearing brawls from occurring.
The ugly melee is the result of a cheap shot by Ottawa's Chris Neil on Buffalo's Chris Drury. A short fight immediately ensued, but it was at the following face-off where the real action began. I'll let the video tell the rest of this grisly story, but pay special attention to the goalies who have a toe-to-toe of their own.
Also, keep an eye out Saturday as these teams square off once again for their 8th and final time this season. While the Sabres will be down eight players for their involvement in the fight, this match up will surely be heated.
