MILAN (AP) — Who says there’s no fighting in hockey at the Olympics?
Tom Wilson dropped the gloves late in Canada’s game against France on Sunday, going after the player who delivered a forearm to the head of teammate Nathan MacKinnon minutes earlier.
Wilson fought Pierre Crinon, who was given a two-minute minor penalty and apologized to MacKinnon after the hit in the third period.
Unlike the NHL, where it is a five-minute major penalty, fighting is a game misconduct under international rules, so Wilson and Crinon were ejected.
Wilson also had a goal and an assists, with the fight giving him what is known in hockey as a “Gordie Howe hat trick.”
The 31-year-old winger is one of just a few new players for Canada who did not play at the 4 Nations Face-Off a year ago, when there were three fights in the first nine seconds of the team's first game against the U.S. He was a no-doubt pick for his physicality and ability to retrieve pucks, along with producing at a high level back in North America with the Washington Capitals.
