"Just unnecessary all around," Jeremy Swayman said last Thursday. "He's the toughest guy in the league for a reason. He's fighting a guy knocked out. It's unbelievable to see that."
"It's a pretty cheap cross-check," Morgan Geekie added. "I don't blame him for what he did. I haven't talked with him about anything. But, obviously, we're not too happy about that."
While both skaters landed punches, Frederic won the bout thanks to several heavy hooks and uppercuts with his right hand.
"I mean - if you followed like the last time we played them, it kind of all stems from that," Frederic said after Boston's 6-2 win of the decision to fight Lilleberg. "Sticking up for a teammate."
