Zach Hyman, Jamie Benn go from looking like old pals to bitter enemies in no time (video)
A funny moment in Saturday's game between the Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars. It was a solid win for the Stars, who bested Edmonton 6-2. That got some tempers flaring.
In one sequence, a scrum along the boards is being watched by Zach Hyman of the Oilers, as well as Dallas's Jamie Benn. The two were holding on to each other in what almost looked like an embrace between old friends about to catch up on old times. The conversation almost seemed friendly, although I'm certain it wasn't. Then Benn knocks Hyman's stick out of his hands and it all goes to hell from there.
Hyman bent down to pick it up and got Benn's stick in the back of the head for his efforts. That's when he decided to retaliate, leading to the two getting caught up in a bear hug far less friendly looking than the earlier gesture.
