NHL heavyweights MacDermid and Olivier trade shots in the quickest tilt of the season

NHL heavyweights Kurtis MacDermid and Mathieu Olivier attempted to give fans a show tonight in Ottawa... but the zebras ruined our fun.

The two big boys squared off at center ice and after sizing each other up for a few seconds, Olivier threw the first punch. The pair then jockeyed for position and Olivier ended up losing his footing... that's when the officials moved in to shut down the tilt.

Check it out:

Robbed of true heavyweight tilt, we were.

Hopefully these gentlemen settle the score later on.
