Video: Flyers’ Schenn fights Bruins’ journeyman Robins

Screen Shot 2014-10-08 at 6.22.06 PM

Welcome to the National Hockey League, Bobby Robins.

Robins, who is 32 years old and has never played a game in the NHL, made an early impression for his new team, the Boston Bruins, on Wednesday.

Robins fought Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Luke Schenn just past the midway point of the second period. The two traded punches before going down to the ice.

Quite a start to such a belated NHL career. Apart from working his way up through the American Hockey League, Robins has spent time in such professional hockey hotbeds like Belfast and Austria. Another interesting factoid: he runs his own blog. Not sure how many guys in the NHL can claim the same.

Of course, he got quite the reaction from the Boston faithful. On a night when former Bruin and NHL on NBC analyst Mike Milbury made a call for the NHL to get rid of fighting.
