Here's what Jayden Struble shouted on the ice after his fight with Zadorov
Jayden Struble and Nikita Zadorov created the first spark in a game so charged with emotion, especially in the first period.
The game started with a bang!
In my opinion, no one expected to see Struble charge straight at a 6-foot-7, 255-pound giant like Nikita Zadorov.
According to Anthony Martineau, it was Struble himself who asked for the fight.
"Nikita Zadorov is 6-foot-7 and weighs 255 pounds.
It was Jayden Struble who asked him for a fight.
Struble, a guy from the Boston area, told me yesterday that all his family and friends were going to watch the game and that he was really looking forward to it.
Respect."

The reporter also says that Struble, a guy from Boston, told him the day before that his whole family would be watching the game.
That confidence showed in his eyes.
Jayden Struble sets the tone for the game
It's clear that set the tone right from the start!
The players on the bench looked genuinely happy to see their teammate fight with that level of intensity.
When the fight ended, he yelled a message while turning toward the Habs bench.
Marco D'Amico also confirmed the sequence:
"Struble vs Zadorov right off the draw.
Struble finishes the fight and yells "Come on!" to the Habs bench."

I really believe moments like this can change the entire dynamic of a game.
Games between the Bruins and the Canadiens are always very physical, and it makes for quite a show.
After that fight, we saw the Habs play with much more energy.
However, the Bruins currently lead 3-2 after the second period.
We'll have to see if the Habs can come out in the third and claw their way back into the game.
