It seems like the disdain between the Florida Panthers and the Ottawa Senators has reached new heights after last night's clash got a little bit out of hand.

The game became chaotic in the second period as Florida goaltender Alex Lyon was run over in the middle of the period, resulting in more than one person grabbing a dance partner, take a look:
Both Tkachuk brothers squared off once Lyon was hit, Matthew Tkachuk takes on Drake Batherson and Brady Tkachuk and Marc Staal also drop the gloves.
The first fight wasn't much with Tkachuk winning almost right away getting the takedown over Batherson. The second fight, Brady Tkachuk fed Staal, not letting him get many punches in or even his gloves off for that matter.
When all the dust settled, 166 penalty minutes were handed out solidifying the bad blood and new found rivalry.
Both teams may be either on the outside looking in or barely hanging on to a playoff spot, but this played like it was a playoff game. The emotion, the hatred, it had it all.
