SAN JOSE – The chatter began in warmups, when Sharks winger Micheal Haley and Oilers tough guy Luke Gazdic conversed near the red line.
It didn’t appear to a mean-spirited discussion. Probably more along the lines of a “how is this going to do down?” sort of thing.
A little more than three minutes into the game everyone found out when Haley and Darnell Nurse dropped the gloves, allowing players on both teams to move on from when Nurse walloped an unsuspecting Roman Polak at Rexall Place on March 8. Haley got the better of Nurse, too, landing a couple right hands.
