The ice got a little hot Tuesday night in San Jose. Towards the end of the Sharks' 5-2 blowout loss against the Capitals, tempers began to flare.
Sharks winger Evander Kane was ejected for elbowing Washington defenseman Radko Gudas in the head with slightly over five minutes left in the third period. Gudas' teammates Tom Wilson and Alex Ovechkin each took exception, with Wilson hitting Kane.

It didn't stop there, too. Sharks center Joe Thornton chimed in before Wilson hit him with a "kiss the ring" comeback.
The ring comment appears to be in response to Thornton bringing up Wilson not fighting Ryan Reaves.
"At least I got a ring though...he went to the press box and we won. I'll take that."
Reaves was a healthy scratch when Caps won Cup.— Brady Trettenero (@BradyTrett) December 4, 2019
