Tom Wilson fights in Canada's game vs. France at the Olympics
SUMMARY: Who says there's no fighting in hockey at the Olympics? Tom Wilson dropped the gloves late in Canada's game against France to go after the player who delivered a forearm to the head of teammate Nathan MacKinnon. Wilson fought Pierre Crinon, who was given a two-minute minor penalty and apologized to MacKinnon after the hit. Unlike the NHL, where it is a five-minute major penalty, fighting is a game misconduct under international rules, so Wilson and Crinon were ejected.
