VIDEO: Simmonds one-punches Detroit’s Ericsson

Wayne Simmonds

Remember when P.K. Subban told Max Pacioretty not to fight Wayne Simmonds?

Perhaps this is why.

Wayne Simmonds, in the second period of the Flyers-Red Wings game, delivered a devastating left-handed jab on Jonathan Ericsson for the one-punch knockout.

During the intermission, Simmonds said the following:

“I was just trying to get some energy in our team, that’s all that was about.  There was no ill-will there.  I was just trying to pump up the guys, trying to get some flow going.”

Simmonds is two inches and nearly 40 pounds lighter than the defenseman.
