Laviolette on Subban-Crosby scuffle: ‘I saw my guy’s head get cross-checked’

A hockey game broke out at the wrestling match Thursday night.

Star players Sidney Crosby and P.K. Subban have been going at it throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and frustration finally broke through in Game 5, when the two tussled in first period.

Predators head coach Peter Laviolette said after the game he was confused by the call, which saw both players sent to the box for two minutes.

"I don't understand it," he told TSN's Frank Seravalli. "I saw my guy's head get cross-checked into the ice 10 times. I disagree with the call."

Though both parties were clearly guilty, Laviolette's gripe likely stems from the point of the bout when Crosby was on top of Subban, and got in a few shots to the head while the latter was on the ice.

Will there be a rematch in Game 6 on Sunday? Only time will tell.
