Jim Peplinski just started jabbing at Eric Fichaud's pads after the Montreal goalie made a save.
Rick Green, though, came over and playfully pushed him away and the two joked around, mimicking that they might drop the gloves in a battle. But of course cooler heads prevailed and the two smiled as they skated away.
While the mock shoving match was playful, there is no doubt that Calgary has turned up the intensity.
But that intensity went for naught when Kirk Muller scored against the run of play during a 2-on-1 to make the score 5-3.
