While fighting is the regularity of the NHL, the proportion of Stanley Cup playoffs is very low.
However, Game 3 of the Stanley Cup final saw a full-out fight in the Florida Panthers’ victory over the Edmonton Oilers, leading 2-1 in the series.
In their first home game in their seven-seven best series, the Panthers made the most, with the Oilers trying to get it physically rather than on the scoreboard.

As the game became more and more on the ice, the game had already won Florida 5-1. When Edmonton forward Trent Federic started next on Sam Bennett, he crossed him to the ice, it reached a different level, and when he got on top of Federic, Bennett gave him some punches.
The initial battle allowed each player to find a duel on the ice, and the referee only let the fight play out. Nurse Darnell of the Oilers and Jonah Gadjovich of the Panthers clutched each other's sweaters and threw Haymakers while AJ Greer of Florida duels with Mattias Ekholm of Edmonton.
After the battle disappeared, the nurses, Gogovic, Bennett, Federic, Greer and Ekhall were all asked to perform misconduct in the game and emit ice for the rest of the game.

However, with nearly half of the third stage still going to play, the two teams have not stopped fighting for the cup against Lord Stanley. It comes mainly from the Oilers as Evander Kane knocked Carter Verhaeghe in the face on the ice and cut off the ice night on the ice.
There will be more penalties as the clock ticked, and by then both teams hope that no one will be hurt by most of the series. Even in the final buzzer, Oilers star Corey Perry began to strike against multiple Panthers players as fans began to throw debris onto the ice.
Finally, the Panthers reacted to all the over-surface games of the Oilers, and Evan Rodrigues would go home and beat home.

Aside from the fight, Florida showed off some huge offensive hockey from the start, with Brad Marchand potting a former Oilers goalkeeper Stuart Skinner in less than a minute of the game.
Marchand became the oldest player in NHL history, scoring points in each of the first three Stanley Cup finals. But he isn't the only player in this series to do so on his team.
Sam Bennett joined him after finding out his network off the net as Eetu Luostarinen intercepted the Edmonton pass on the Blue Line.
Bennett gave Skinner a backhand and buried his Wrister top shelf to lead 4-1. Amerant Bank Arena went crazy as Bennett's goal led to an outbreak on and on the Panthers' ice.
Verhaeghe also entered the goal bar with the assistance of Rodrigues and Nate Schmidt and the help of Nate Schmidt, and rose to the locker room 2-0.
Perry was able to get a much-needed response with his own strength goals at the start of the second stage, but Florida's physical condition, Florida's body was considered legal by the referees, which ultimately led to Bennett's goal and Sam Reinhart.
