This was completely unnecessary

The Battle of Florida is in full force! With the Florida Panthers bringing it to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the 2 opening games of this series, the Lightning have hit a boiling point. Tonight, they went 0-5 on the powerplay and Branden Hagel seemingly out of frustration, took a run at the Panthers captain Sasha Barkov laying a massive hit while he didn't even have the puck. Barkov left the game and did not return as Hagel received a 5 minute major penalty. This hit, especially being that it was on their Captain Barkov is sure to add fuel to the fire for game 3 when they matchup again in Sunrise. Matthew Tkachuk and Brad Marchand were making promises at the end of the game that they are coming after Kucherov, so it should make for fireworks! I cover it all and more in todays NHL hockey video!
