Evander Kane and Nikita Zadorov scrap as Oilers force Game 7
Evander Kane from the Edmonton Oilers and Nikita Zadorov from the Vancouver Canucks went at it like there's no tomorrow in Game 6 of their second round series.
These two have been butting heads throughout this intense series, and things really boiled over in Game 6.
The Oilers up 5-1, and with just under two minutes left in the third period, about to force a Game 7 to the delight of a rowdy orange-clad crowd.
Kane and Zadorov decide to settle their differences behind the Canucks' net. Refs rushed in, but it's like pouring fuel on a fire – players from both sides jumped in, and chaos ensued. Kane, Vincent Desharnais from the Oilers, Zadorov, and Vasily Podkolzin from the Canucks all got slapped with 10-minute misconduct penalties.
These two have been going at it all series, trading big hits and looking to one-up each other. Game 3 saw Zadorov slamming Kane into the Oilers' bench, and Game 5 was no different, with both guys dishing out some hits. Now, we finally get to see it in the most pressure-cooker situation a hockey fan and players dream of, Game 7 on Monday night in Vancouver. It's been intense, to say the least.
