Video: Heated Fight in Sharks/Kings Game After Warmup Run-In

Kurtis Gabriel of the San Jose Sharks is trying hard to become the new pest of the NHL and is basically fighting anyone who will answer the bell. On Monday he decided he was going to cross-check Los Angeles Kings defenseman Kurtis MacDermid in warmup, which then of course, led to them fighting in the first period.

MacDermid is a big boy, standing 6'5 and 233 pounds. Meanwhile, Gabriel is 6'4 and only 200 pounds, so he surely doesn't have a specific weight-class, he just wants to throw hands.

Have to admit, it didn't go so well for the instigator in this one:
