The series turned testy in Game 2 when
Tom Kostopoulos threw a blindside punch at Flyers defenseman
Kimmo Timonen. Stevens called the punch "cheap" and Richards labeled it "gutless."
Carbonneau said Timonen deserved the hit because he smirked at the Canadiens after a Flyers goal.
The first blows in this one came late in the first period, when Flyers forward
Steve Downie tripped Price, who had strayed out from the crease, from behind with his stick. Downie was briefly
pinned against the boards by two Canadiens and soon players from both teams came flying down to the corner and got involved in the skirmish.
