In a little mix-up behind the play, Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid and Sabres center Paul Gaustad dropped the gloves late in the second period. Gaustad landed some solid uppercuts with the right hand and ripped McQuaid's bucket off with the left. Wrong move.
After losing the helmet, McQuaid landed some solid rights to the head of Gaustad, popping off the helmet in the process. When it was all said and done 30 seconds later, McQuaid came out on top after the lengthy bout.
