Bartkowski hits Gionta like a truck! (VIDEO)

The Buffalo Sabres and Boston Bruins are facing off tonight, and it didn't take long for things to get heated. During the very first period, with the Bruins up 1-1, the Bruins' Matt Bartkowski absolutely leveled Brian Gionta of the Sabres.  Bartkowski was given a game misconduct for what some are suggesting was a late hit. The Buffalo Sabres' Marcus Foligno came to the aid of his downed teammate Gionta, and Bartkowski accepted the challenge and the two men engaged in one of the better fights of the season. Despite looking like he was losing Bartkowski went full beast mode and battled back against Foligno. You can watch the incident here courtesy of the NHL.
