Mayhem.
We knew from the moment Tom Wilson shoved Evgeni Malkin during warm-ups that tonight’s game would be a cluster. Sure enough, eight minutes into the first period, everything went to hell.
Everybody’s really mad about something.
Why’s Michael Latta on the bench?
I mean, what even is happening here?
It’s just a total mess.
Now Wilson stands up. Oh! So Latta was getting him off the Penguins bench?
Pierre is enjoying it, the weirdo.
Pierre McGuire: "Malkin and Ovechkin are screaming at each other in Russian"

Pierre McGuire just said Tom Wilson told Maxim Lapierre on the way to the bench: "Hang tight, it's a long night. You're going to get it."

Somehow, Alex Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby negotiated this mess into four two-minute hooking penalties for Latta, Wilson, Comeau, and Downie.
Latta and Wilson chat in the box.
The drama continues…
