Florida Panthers' Brad Marchand was ejected from Game 1 of the playoff series versus the Carolina Hurricanes. Tuesday evening of the third period it happened. Marchand got into a brawl with Hurricanes defender Shayne Gostisbehere following a furious incident.
The Panthers were already leading the game. The fight ended with both players getting penalties, but Marchand also received a game misconduct and had to leave the ice early.
Brad Marchand and Shayne Gostisbehere clash after puck shot sparks tension
The trouble started when Shayne Gostisbehere fired a puck straight at Marchand from across the ice. It looked like he did it on purpose. Marchand got angry and went after him. They grabbed each other and wrestled down to the ice before the referees stepped in.
The officials gave both players roughing penalties after discussing it. Brad Marchand, meanwhile, received game misconduct and had to depart the remainder of the game.
Shayne Gostisbehere later said Brad Marchand tried to 'take a run' at him and admitted he fired the puck at him on purpose. He said he was angry and wanted to send a message. Brad Marchand, known for being a tough and fiery player, did not hold back either.

Panthers stay quiet while focus shifts to Game 2
After the game, the Panthers didn't say much about the fight. Forward A.J. Greer said he had 'no comment.' He added that the playoffs are tough, and sometimes things happen. He said the team just wants to keep playing hard and focus on the next game.
Head coach Paul Maurice was also quiet about it. When reporters asked for his thoughts, he said, 'I've got one,' but wouldn't share it.
Brad Marchand might not face any extra punishment for the fight. In the last series, Maple Leafs player Max Domi hit Panthers star Aleksander Barkov hard, and the league didn't suspend him. Since that hit was worse than what happened between Brad Marchand and Gostisbehere, many think Marchand will be allowed to play in Game 2.
The Panthers ended up winning Game 1, and the focus now is moving to the next battle. But with this new tension between Marchand and Gostisbehere, Game 2 could get even more physical.

NFL remains silent as Stefon Diggs' boat video with pink powder sparks major online controversy
NFL refuses to address viral video of Stefon Diggs (Imagn Images) The New England Patriots' offseason buzz took a dramatic turn after a video featuring veteran wide receiver Stefon Diggs surfaced online, showing him on a boat surrounded by women and what appeared to be pink powder. While the video quickly made waves on social media, the response from the NFL and the Patriots organization has been more subdued—at least publicly. NFL declines to clarify controversial Stefon Diggs video Despite the speculation, the league appears to be treading carefully. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy responded to Pro Football Talk's inquiry by saying the NFL 'will decline comment' on the matter. That silence is telling. The league's current substance abuse policy, significantly revamped in recent years, no longer calls for immediate suspensions over first-time incidents or appearances. Instead, the system emphasizes evaluation and rehabilitation, particularly in the form of the "Stage One" program. According to the policy, a player may be placed into the substance abuse program if his behavior 'exhibits physical, behavioral, or psychological signs or symptoms of misuse of Substances of Abuse.' Notably, this does not require a failed drug test. Should Diggs be placed in Stage One, he would be subject to increased testing and potential fines—but no suspension unless there are repeated violations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ตลาดหุ้นกำลังส่งสัญญาณว่าอยู่ในช่วงขาลง? IC Markets สมัคร Undo What makes this situation more ambiguous is the lack of public disclosure. Since placement in the program isn't usually announced unless a suspension occurs, it's quite possible that any league-mandated action regarding Diggs could remain confidential. That means fans, media, and even teammates might never know whether or not the video led to disciplinary review. This distraction arrives just as Patriots fans were beginning to get excited about what Diggs could bring to the offense. Signed to a three-year deal worth up to $69 million—with $26 million guaranteed—the former Bills and Texans star was expected to give New England a much-needed boost in their passing game. But the contract did come with risks: Diggs is nearing 32, recovering from a torn ACL, and carries a reputation for occasional locker room friction. Head coach Mike Vrabel didn't dodge the topic when asked about it. 'We all have to make great decisions on and off the field,' Vrabel told reporters, signaling a no-nonsense approach while remaining vague about any internal conversations. He also confirmed that Diggs was absent from the team's organized team activities (OTAs), though no direct connection to the video was made. Still, there's no hard evidence yet to suggest the team is reconsidering its investment. Whether the Patriots choose to discipline him internally remains to be seen. What's clear is that Vrabel expects accountability from his players and is handling the situation in-house—for now. As training camp nears, the focus may eventually return to football. But until then, all eyes are on how Diggs and the Patriots navigate the ripple effects of a 30-second boat video that's raised more questions than answers.

‘Slapped, beaten with baton': CCSU warden removed for thrashing hostellers in Meerut
MEERUT: The warden of Chaudhary Charan Singh University's (CCSU) Kailash Prakash Hostel has been removed on Friday following protest by students for allegedly thrashing 20-25 hostellers after finding water splashed on the floor and four students in a room for two. A purported video of the accused warden, DK Chauhan, mercilessly beating the students on Thursday night was widely circulated on social media on Friday. In the video, Chauhan is seen purportedly raining blows with a baton and slapping the students as he charged at them like a raging bull. His terror continued for nearly 30 minutes, with shocked students writhing in pain. The video shows that the students were standing still while the warden madly attacked them. On Friday, students staged a sit-in protest outside the vice chancellor's office, demanding immediate action against the warden. Calling the incident a "blatant misuse of power", they demanded stricter regulations for hostel authorities. After hours of protest and intervention by university officials, the warden was removed from his duties. A BTech student, requesting anonymity, told TOI, "The warden arrived at the hostel on Thursday night, and without asking anything, began assaulting some students. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo He also used casteist slurs against some Dalit students. When we were recording the video, he tried to snatch our phones. We raised the matter with senior university authorities, but they sided with the warden." Prof Dinesh Kumar, chief warden of CCSU, told TOI, "We have removed DK Chauhan from his post. The VC, Sangeeta Shukla, is not here. Once she returns, we will place this matter on her table and constitute a high-level committee, in which we will try to include a student member to probe the incident. Further action will be taken after committee's report." "This kind of behaviour is unacceptable. We are committed to ensuring the safety and dignity of each and every student," said a university spokesperson, on condition of anonymity. DK Chauhan told TOI, "They were attacking me. I politely asked them to come out, but some students hurled abuses at me. I have submitted multiple pieces of evidence to the university administration, but they have only presented one side of the story. My car was vandalized, and my home guards were unable to protect me - which compelled me to retaliate." This is not the first time DK Chauhan has courted controversy. A few days ago, he allegedly ordered the on-duty home guards to keep a delivery boy hostage for around 30 minutes for delivering food at the hostel after 9 pm, said another student from Maharana Pratap Hostel.
