The Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Carolina Hurricanes in an exciting, emotional game on Tuesday. At the end of the game, Brandon Hagel and Sebastian Aho got into a heated argument, leading to a moment between the two that immediately went viral.
The Carolina Hurricanes and the Tampa Bay Lightning are ranked 11th and 16th, respectively, in the NHL standings, so it was no surprise that Tuesday’s game between the two contenders was a close, highly emotional, and tense battle. Brandon Hagel scored the first goal of the game.
With less than a minute left in the third period, Brayden Point received a pass from Nikita Kucherov in front of the net. He spun beautifully and fired a shot into the net. Just like that, the Tampa Bay Lightning secured the win. However, it wasn’t the only memorable moment of the night.

Carolina Hurricanes star forward Sebastian Aho was bumped by Brandon Hagel earlier in the game and retaliated with a stick swipe. A scrum broke out near the boards. In the third period, Hagel and Aho resumed arguing about the incident while on their benches.
Both forwards were sitting and yelling at each other when Aho made some exaggerated faces at Hagel, who burst out laughing in response. Their interaction was caught on camera, and the video quickly went viral, with fans finding it absolutely hilarious.
