120 PIMs Assessed Before Puck Drop as Line Brawl Breaks Out During Opening Faceoff (VIDEO)

Man, oh man.

The AHL can be a wild place sometimes. Known generally as a developmental league, the American league still features some heavy hitters in the fighting department.

This Tucson Roadrunners - San Jose Barracuda matchup started off with a BANG. The two center-icemen exchanged blows during the opening draw, and before you know it; Bedlam.

According to Weinheimer, over 120 PIMs were handed out before the game even started. Now that, is how you start a hockey game, folks.

Tucson took this one in a shootout by a score of 4-3, capping off an extremely entertaining contest.
