Ben Harpur accepts Corey Perry's fight after the game and DOMINATES him
On the night of April 5th, 2023, the New York Rangers hosted the Tampa Bay Lightning in a highly contentious game that ended in a 6-3 victory for the home team. The intensity of the game was evident from the outset, as players from both teams showed a clear determination to win. However, as the game wore on, tensions began to boil over, resulting in several heated exchanges on the ice.
One such incident occurred when Lightning forward Alex Killorn forcefully pushes Rangers goaltender Igor Shesterkin into the net, prompting a swift retaliation from Shesterkin's teammates. The rough play continued when Rangers captain Jacob Trouba was taken out by a awkward looking un-intentional slewfoot from Lightning winger Corey Perry, forcing him out of the game.
Despite the final whistle sounding, the hostilities between the two teams did not abate, with Perry seeking out his second fight of the game by going after Rangers defenseman Ben Harpur. Perry is known for his aggressive style of play, which often lands him on the fine line between legal and illegal, but he is also a talented player with a history of scoring goals.
However, in this instance, Perry may have bitten off more than he could chew, as Harpur was more than up to the challenge, overpowering Perry and pounding him into the ice. This physical altercation was just one of many that took place throughout the game, showcasing the intense competitive spirit that both teams brought to the ice.
