And Corey Perry making the “turtle” sign lol
Things are getting spicy in Game 3!
With the Florida Panthers up 2-0 on the Edmonton Oilers in the closing seconds of the 1st period of Game 3 this evening, tempers began to flare.
After Panthers forward Anton Lundell laid a sucker punch on Oilers defenseman Evan Bouchard, a scrum broke out between both teams and Matthew Tkachuk absolutely SCRAMBLED to get away from an angry Evander Kane.
Watch Tkachuk literally run away from Kane to the waiting arms of an official while Kane tries his best to instigate a fight.
Panthers forward Jonah Gadjovich also wanted no part of Corey Perry and Perry let him know exactly which amphibian he resembles:

Walman was assessed a pair of minor penalties for roughing and a minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct.
