Things were eventually broken up between the two after 30 minutes into the brawl with either player handed a penalty for his involved in the feud. Both eventually returned as Wild won 6-5 in overtime in what was an edge of the seat thriller.
“Oh yeah. I still don’t know where that came from. Pretty funny. One thing about Marcus is when he snaps, he snaps. So I don’t think that was pre-meditated, I think he just went with it.”
“I went, ‘What the hell was that?’ And he goes, ‘I don’t know, I blacked out.’ …I probably did it to him, that’s probably where he learned it,” Nick, Marcus’ brother said when asked about his reaction to Marcus throwing the wild punch.
