MacDonald gets KO'd, Rantanen goes after Weegar at the final buzzer between Avs and Panthers (w/video)

The Colorado Avalanche and the Florida Panthers were engaged in a battle Sunday night as the two teams looked to rough each other up all night long. One of the biggest moments came early in the second as Ryan Lomberg flattened Jacob MacDonald, leaving him out cold on the ice. Nicolas Aube-Kubel would come to the defence of his teammate, fighting Lomberg before MacDonald was carried off the ice on a stretcher.

Luckily for MacDonald, he did not require a trip to the hospital. He remained at the arena for observation and was said to be awake, alert and able to move around.

Meanwhile, Mikko Rantanen was in the penalty box as the final buzzer sounded to end the game. He came out and immediately went after MacKenzie Weegar, chopping at him with his stick and then throwing punches. That would, of course, draw a crowd.

The Avs won the game 3-2.
