Lots of angles show both guys knowing it was coming. Oleksiaks gloves come off first. Neither guy is any better positioned than any off the rush fight that takes place.
2 big boys, discussed fighting to the media, first game against each other and Wilson got the upper hand in this fight. Nothing cheap or dirty here. The fight wasn't a response to the hit and correct me if I am wrong but are there not penalties for fighting right off the faceoff in a staged format? This was the closest thing to staged without looking staged.
