When it comes to the Detroit Red Wings, there has been very little excitement in 2021, including when it comes to fighting.
But Anthony Mantha tried to change that on Tuesday night when the Red Wings hosted the Tampa Bay Lightning at Little Caesars Arena.
Watch as Mantha gets fed up and begins to square off against Erik Cernak of the Lightning. As you will see, it was not much of a fight at all.

Following the fight, fans rushed to Twitter to get on Mantha for getting into a fight and risking injury. Here are some of the highlights.
Literally all of Red Wings Twitter vibes over having anxiety whenever Anthony Mantha gets into a fight.

Watching cernak and mantha go at it while the announcer is all like "mantha doesn't want to fight, are you kidding?" Is….very funny

I dont disagree at all, someone needs to answer the bell but Mantha can't afford to get hurt again fighting. Luckily it looks like he did fine tonight but I was holding my breath.

Is Mantha dumb? He’s chewing his mouth guard while he’s in a fight. Always thought it was a mistake for him and Blashill to announce “I’m not going to fight this year”
