Kane and Petrovic drop the gloves three times in the same game!

Fans of fighting in the National hockey League got something extra special on Tuesday night when two players who were going after each other all night dropped the gloves not once, not twice, but three different times in the same game.

Buffalo Sabre Evander Kane and Florida Panther Alex Petrovic delivered three rounds of entertaining action, although unfortunately for Petrovic he came out on the losing end all three times, and it would be hard to argue otherwise.

We don't know why he kept coming back for more despite being repeatedly buckled and dropped to the ice by big punches from Kane each time, perhaps he was simply motivated by revenge, but appeared to be badly outmatched against Kane.
