The Liam O’Brien and Patrick Maroon fight was ‘one of the best’ of the NHL preseason

The Washington Capitals won their first game of the preseason on Tuesday, but the Blues’ physicality took a toll. The Caps lost Michal Kempny to injury and fought twice in the game.

After watching Hershey teammate Nathan Walker get hit high, Liam O’Brien finally had enough, asking Patrick Maroon to get these hands 13:05 into the second period.

The Big Tuna didn’t win the spirited bout, but O’Brien’s participation left NBC Sports Washington’s Craig Laughlin mightily impressed.

“That’s one of the best (fights) I’ve seen in the last couple of seasons, toe-to-toe,” Locker said.

Tom Wilson fights Patrick Maroon, his third fight in four games

On November 4, Tom Wilson scored two goals against the Boston Bruins, his first tallies of the season. That night seemed important – as if Wilson was taking another step towards finally realizing his offensive potential.

Since then, however, Wilson has not been able to repeat the production, so he’s been using his hands more for punching than for scoring, collecting three fighting majors in his last four games. And I’m sure if the moment would have been right on Friday, he would have also face-punched Ryan Reaves.
