Last night, as I furiously GIFed and brightened some gloomy Joel Rechlicz screenshots, two Washington Capitals decided that the start of the third period would be a great time to settle all family business. Michal Cajkovsky beat the tar out of the Bruins’ Nick Johnson, and Dane Byers went toe-to-toe with tough guy Adam McQuaid in the second-most brutal fight of the night.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how funny you find the photo above), Cajkovski and Byers were accessed extra minors on the play– roughing and instigating respectively. So four Caps players had to head to the box: Cajkovski, Byers, Tom Wilson, and Aaron Volpatti.

With Joel Rechlicz already in the sin-bin serving his ten-minute misconduct, the naughty Caps got a bit cozy.

To the guy making the crybaby face (again) at left: I watched Karl Alzner. I knew Karl Alzner. Karl Alzner was a friend of mine. Senator, you’re no Karl Alzner.
