Avalanche defenseman Kurtis MacDermid entered protocol on late Saturday night after losing a heavyweight NHL tilt to Milan Lucic. The Flames winger put him out.
MacDermid, 28, stands 6-foot-5, 233 pounds. He rarely, if ever, ends up on the losing end of fights.
Lucic, 34, stands 6-foot-3, 240 pounds. He scraps quite a bit for someone at his position and typically comes out victorious as well. At the very least, the Vancouver-native always holds his own.
Neither MacDermid nor Lucic are strangers.
In fact, they went at it in Colorado last year.

The Padres are finalizing an 11-year, $350 million extension with star third baseman Manny Machado, sources told ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
Injuries and poor form slowed Rashford between 2021 and 2022. Now he’s the world’s most in-form player.
The free-spending Padres reportedly are close to a long-term agreement with their star third baseman.
The Padres and Manny Machado are close to agreement on a massive contract extension that will keep the superstar third baseman in mustard and brown for the foreseeable future.
The parties are finalizing an 11-year pact worth $350 million, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported Sunday morning.
Earlier this month, Machado publicly stated his intention to exercise an opt-out clause in his contract to become a free agent after the season.
Montreat College baseball won its series at Bluefield University this weekend, but it should have had the chance at the sweep. Instead, an ump show may have cost the Cavaliers their seventh win of the season.
Montreat, a a private, Christian college in North Carolina, was founded in 1916 and has less than 1,000 students. 45 of them play baseball, and were screwed out of a game-tying home run on Friday.

For whatever reason, perhaps due to weather, the Cavaliers played a three-game series on only Thursday and Friday this week.
The Philadelphia center made an unlikely shot, but it came a fraction of a second too late to force overtime against the Celtics.
Joel Embiid is enjoying the best season of his NBA career, and he punctuated it with a riveting highlight Saturday night.
Unfortunately for Embiid and the 76ers, it didn’t count.
With 1.3 seconds left in a hard-fought game between Philadelphia and the visiting Celtics, Embiid took an inbound pass and launched a 70-foot heave at the basket from inside the three-point line in the backcourt.
Florida State basketball is not having the season that it might have hoped, but the Seminoles have no problem playing the spoiler. That was certainly the case on Saturday afternoon!
No. 13 Miami hosted their in-state, ACC foes in Coral Gables and jumped out to a big lead at halftime. The Hurricanes were up big at the break.
How bout that first half?!

But then the script was flipped.
On Saturday night against Virginia Tech, the 35-year-old Jon Scheyer got his 21st win, accomplishing something Hall of Famer Mike Krzyzewski didn’t.
The stars were out for Saturday’s basketball game between Alabama and Arkansas. Among them were Nick Saban and Justin Thomas!
Thomas, 29, is not playing in the Honda Classic this weekend. As such, he took the opportunity to return to his alma mater (he never graduated and went pro after two years) in Tuscaloosa.

Alabama standout freshman Brandon Miller still prominently features a photo of himself being frisked on his Twitter account.
The Alabama forward sparked mass outrage Saturday afternoon when he was frisked by a teammate during team introductions prior to beating Arkansas.
Miller drove the vehicle carrying the murder weapon allegedly used by former teammate Darius Miles and Michael Lynn Davis to murder single mother Jamea Jonae Harris back in January.
