On Thursday night, Flyers rookie Nolan Patrick turned heads by getting into a fight with David Krejci of the Boston Bruins.

Not only were Flyers fans thrilled, but Patrick's teammates gave him some props for standing up for himself and fighting, too.

After the game, David Krejci gave the rookie some respect, too, but he also had some strong words for him about the fight.

We don't see many fights in the regular season anymore, so to see one in the preseason between a rookie and a guy like Krejci was a shock to say the least.

As the veteran said, though, they fought and now it's over with, until the next time these two teams play which is December 2nd.
