Marc-Andre Fleury tries to pick a fight with Jordan Binnington while mic'd up
Following a play in which Wild F Ryan Hartman accidentally hit Jordan Binnington in the head after he scored a goal midway through the second period, chaos ensued. Binnington wasn't happy with Hartman and charged at him while he celebrated with his Wild teammates.
Binnington caught Hartman with a blocker shot to the face, dropping Hartman to the ice, which led to him being assessed a match penalty and ultimately getting suspended for two games. As the Wild were outnumbered because of Binnington's involvement Marc-Andre Fleury came flying down the ice to try to draw Binner into a scrap.
Fleury just so happened to to be mic'd up during the game and the sound bites from him during the scrub are classic Fleury. Fleury can be heard yelling at Binnington "Let's go, Let's go" but unfortunately linesmen jumped in to separate them before the could square off. When the linesman grabs Fleury, he can be heard saying "no, no, no, come on. He always wants to fight."
Fleury then begins to try to negotiate with the linesman before going to gather his discarded gear and return back to his side of center.
