Well, it seems the NHL Finals Game 3 had more than a single fight. As the third period of the Finals Game 3 between the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers arrived, a fight broke out in the middle of the court. What was supposed to be a fight between just two players evolved into a full-fledged war between both teams. Amongst all the fights, it was the one between Darnell Nurse and Jonah Gadjovich that lasted longer than anyone else's. But what caused the fight? Who started it? Who started the fight in NHL Finals Game 3? When the third period of the game started, the Oilers' Trent Frederic tried to punch the Panthers' center player Sam Bennett. He continued doing so, and during one such attempt, he broke his stick on Bennett's arm, which started the war. While all the players teamed up, fans expected them to stop the fight. Instead, the Oilers started going after the Panthers, and the fight prolonged. One such fight was between Darnell Nurse and Jonah Gadjovich which continued long after everyone else stopped. Both players were seen holding each other's sweaters and necks and throwing punches. What was more interesting was that the umpires let the players fight for a long time before interfering.
