Huge brawl mars hockey game as controversy continues between Rangers and Capitals
CNN
There were six fights in the opening period of the New York Rangers' clash with the Washington Capitals game on Wednesday night as a controversy between the two sides rumbled on.
There was bad blood between the teams after Monday's game in which Capitals enforcer Tom Wilson committed a series of penalties, including one which knocked Rangers' star Artemi Panarin out for the rest of the season with a lower body injury. Wilson was subsequently fined $5,000 by the NHL, which the Rangers viewed as a slap on the wrist in light of the severity of his actions. In contrast, the NBA fined Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving $35,000 on Wednesday for skipping press conferences.![](/newspic/picid-6252001-20250215043617.jpg)

His message: they had to choose one career lawyer to file a dismissal of the corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams, according to three people briefed on the meeting.
