Line Brawl in Chicago

I missed the majority of Sunday’s game, which the Canucks won 4-0 in Chicago, with Roberto Luongo getting his 7th shut-out of the seasn.  However, i did see the clips online of the major altercation and line brawl between the two teams, including Kevin Bieksa’s fight and Alex Burrows fighting (and pulling hair!).  I found this clip for you guys, however I do know that it is very blurry, but if you missed the game, check this clip out!  I remember seeing 5 Chicago players in the box ater this, and the Canucks had two back to back 2 man powerplays, scoring on one of them.

Pretty intense eh? Can you imagine a Vancouver and Chicago first round playoff match-up? That would be a 7 gamer, that’s for sure.
