Remembering the Lecavalier/Iginla fight from 20 years ago

First of all, there is no way this fight happened twenty years ago. At best it’s five or six years ago. Admitting that it happened two decades ago would be admitting that I am, indeed, an old man. That just can’t be the case. Anyway, today’s off-season discussion was sparked by The Athletic’s oral history of the fight that happened between Jarome Iginla and Vincent Lecavalier in Game 3 of the 2004 NHL Stanley Cup Final.

Nothing put a cap on the pre-salary cap NHL like two superstars firing haymakers at each other in the middle of a pivotal game in the final.
