Sunday, Boston Bruins prospect Marc McLaughin attempted to do just that. Unfortunately, he learned that dropping the gloves comes with its risks as he ate some hard shots before being rocked. Within seconds, he found himself on the ice with officials signaling for the medical staff.
When the medical staff reached McLaughlin, he was already drenched in his own blood, and to make matters worse, he appeared to have lost his bearings. He seemed lost on the play, unsure of where to go, not just once but several times.
McLaughlin eventually made his way off the ice with the assistance of the medical staff and did not return to the game due to a suspected head injury. Hopefully, his injuries are not serious.
