NHL fans discussed Toronto Maple Leafs forward John Tavares holding Tampa Bay Lightning's Michael Eyssimont in an armbar during a line brawl on Monday. The fight erupted after the final buzzer when Lightning's Eyssimont tried to tackle Simon Benoit near the boards.
Tavares joined in and confronted Eyssimont, and soon players from both teams joined in. It was when Tavares and Eyssimont ended up in the armbar situation.
A Twitter user, Knies Guy, shared the video of Tavares on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote:
"I'll be the first to say that Keefe was never able to pull this out of his team. When JT is throwing opposing players in a hybrid triangle choke/arm bar, things are serious."
