Ullmark Sent to the Locker Room for Attempting to Fight Matthew Tkachuk

Chaos ensued in Florida this afternoon as the Bruins match against the Panthers came to an end. We witnessed a rather unusual occurrence, as Linus Ullmark was forced to leave the game after attempting to fight Matthew Tkachuk.

Matthew Tkachuk may be the all-time biggest instigator. He has made so many enemies in Boston throughout this series, and the list seems to keep growing by the day. This time, he decided to provoke Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark in the dying minutes of the third period, sparking yet another brawl.

Tkachuk can be seen taking shots at Ullmark long after the puck has gone, and after being held down by multiple players and an official, makes his way back to Ullmark to try again. Ullmark took exception to this clown show being put on by Tkachuk, and threw his glove and blocker off as an invitation to fight.

The officials didn't appreciate Ullmark's actions during the incident, and sent him off in an attempt to deescalate the situation.

Jeremy Swayman had to be brought in for Boston to replace Ullmark for the final three minutes, which isn't something we see often. If this series has proved anything, it's that these two teams can't stand one another.
