From ESPN:
Vancouver Canucks coach John Tortorella had to be restrained from entering the Calgary Flames' locker room Saturday night after a first period that saw a full line brawl break out two seconds into play when both teams used their fourth lines for the opening faceoff.
Defenseman Kevin Bieksa took the opening draw for Vancouver and a line brawl broke out as soon as the puck was dropped.
During the brawl, Tortorella repeatedly yelled and gestured to the Flames bench and coach Bob Hartley.
The Canucks won the game between Pacific division rivals 3-2 in a shootout.
CBC, which televised the game, showed Tortorella attempting to go into the Flames locker room during intermission at Rogers Arena, with Calgary enforcer Brian McGrattan pushing him away.
Flames goaltender coach Clint Malarchuk came out of the Flames dressing room after Tortorella and McGrattan were separated. Malarchuk followed Tortorella, but was restrained by several members of Calgary's staff and McGrattan.
Much of the altercation appeared off camera, but another camera showed Chris Tanev pulling Alex Burrows back toward the Canucks dressing room.

Let's face it. People love these fights just like NASCAR fans love crashes.
But when you look at the fight, it looked like a bunch of sissies dancing with each other.
