Video: Flyers’ Seeler Tosses Ref Away to Fight Kraken’s Oleksiak

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Nick Seeler was so determined to fight Jamie Oleksiak that he tossed the ref away to do so. After a whistle, Oleksiak bumped into Seeler, which clearly irritated the 28-year-old. From here, Seeler would take on the 6'7" Oleksiak.

Oleksiak's height advantage did help his case as the tilt progressed, as he was able to get in a bunch of heavy rights. However, one has to admire Seeler for taking on an imposing challenger. Philadelphia fans clearly loved it as well.

The Flyers would blow out the Kraken by a 6-1 final score. It was quite an eventful night between these two clubs, as this was not the only fight of the game. It will be very entertaining when these two teams play against each other again on December 29th.
