I'm not sure what happened but all 12 players who were on the ice at the time had a 5 minute brawl. From what I read on ESPN (and on the hockey lj), Drury got hit by a Sen and got hurt, which led to all the players squaring off and Biron rushing over to meet with Emery (and we all know he has a mean streak). It looks like only 100 PIM, the goalies were ejected.

Someone on lj said you could hear a Sabre saying "Don't go after my fucking captain". Drury went out with an injury.

It's already on youtube -- here's the hockey lj thread -- http://community.livejournal.com/hockey/2808326.html?style=mine

Old time hockey, eh?

And the game was 6-5 in a shoot out, so lots of scoring to go along with the fighting.

As for Roy -he wasn't with the team for most of the season, I think he was traded (or he left, I can't remember we had a lot of players leaving). But then they brought him back. He's not a goal scorer but he's an enforcer and I heard rumors that his presence in the locker room was part of why he was brought back.

Bobby Taylor (our color guy) was said after he scored that he'd joked earlier "I may not have a goal but I did save 15% on Geico!" He's always joking around and pulling pranks. Our Stanley Cup season Sunsports did a feature on him and from what I understand he's one of the tough guy on the ice/softie off the ice types.
