Claude Lemieux started a bench clearing brawl at the end of one period. Took the refs about a half hour, to pull everyone apart, sort out the penalties and clean the debris off the ice so that the Zamboni could come out. Lemieux was ejected but then he came out to skate warm-ups with the team - before the refs had returned - and it was deja vu all over again. I think it turned out to be close to a ninety minute intermission, all told. <br /><br />Couldn't tell you anything that actually happened when the clock was running but I don't mind being a neanderthal.Martin Palazzottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06400690740676782549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-35915050696818213352011-03-12T12:56:33.529-05:002011-03-12T12:56:33.529-05:00"October 4, 2007 - A rare goalie fight during..."October 4, 2007 - A rare goalie fight during an intrasquad scrimmage leaves Andrew Raycroft and Vesa Toskala"...

The elbow he threw on Brian Propp earlier in the series went unpenalized; today the same hit would have the league office fainting like a Victorian lady. If you buy into the "players policing themselves" argument, you're disappointed he didn't do it sooner and really get in a good shot on Chelly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-33184720019115738192011-02-16T10:12:18.274-05:002011-02-16T10:12:18.274-05:00lol, love it.
