Things got testy quickly between The Allen Americans and Texas Brahmas prior to game four of the first round of the Central Hockey League playoffs.  Before the two teams even had a chance to take the ice there was a ceremonial puck drop which featured a red carpet and the usual pomp and circumstance you would imagine.  However, before the puck was able to be dropped, Ryan Hand of the Brahmas and Brett Clouthier dropped their gloves and exchanged blows.
