Thursday night's preseason match between Minnesota and Dallas took a sharp turn when a couple of hits and a fight put a stop to the action. First, Stars' defenseman Jerad Rosburg threw a hit on Wild forward Joseph Cramarossa.
Then, Wild enforcer Brandon Baddock absolutely smoked Stars' top center Roope Hintz, spurring a fight between Rosburg and Braddock. Braddock clearly held the edge in the fight, and even snuffed one of the linesman.
If you are going to try and break up any fight, rule number one is have your head on a swivel. This referee learned that lesson the hard way when he landed on the receiving end of a Brandon Baddock right-cross, initially intended for Dallas' Jerad Rosburg.
