In the initial four seconds of the match at TD Garden, three distinct brawls broke out, followed by two rapid goals from Boston, netted less than 1:20 into the game.
Among those in attendance was Zdeno Chara, then captain of the Bruins', and the veteran defenseman recently joined Games With Names with Julian Edelman and Sam Morril to reflect on the unforgettable beginning.
Chara was not one to avoid the fray, receiving a 10-minute misconduct in the second period, while also providing an assist in the Bruins' 6-3 triumph.
Daniel Paille and Steve Ott led the pack with 15 penalty minutes each.
