National anthem booed, the two Tkachuk brothers fighting: what a crazy start to the match

What a crazy start to the match!

First of all, the American national anthem was booed (despite the instructions from Michel Lacroix) and there were not even three seconds played when the two Tkachuk brothers dropped the gloves.

Wow!

And at 19:51, after the first official stoppage of play, Colton Parayko and J.T. Miller threw down the gloves in turn.

Three fights in nine seconds. That must be a record.

Now Parayko vs Miller.
