The incident happened at around 10:50 PM, some minutes after the Rangers had lost to the Lightning at the famous venue.

According to the NYPD, a witness says the two men in the video were involved in a verbal dispute ... before the man in the red shirt reared back and threw his fist at the Lightning fan's face.

Dude was running his mouth and gloating in hostile territory. He learned his lesson.

Okay tough guy.

Fewer things more pathetic than letting the words of a stranger have any effect on you at all, much less letting the words of a stranger cause you to catch an assault charge. Sign of a weak mind.

When I think of sucker punch I think or from behind or from the side.
It’s not like he couldn’t see it coming. Just couldn’t react fast enough after hammering those 16oz bud lights

He wasn’t looking at the guy that hit him. No square up just a turn and punch. That is a sucker punch

Can't go to sporting events, too much trash. You get hit guess what, can't sue them if they have no money. Think they'll get jail? Nope probably get probation.

Two minutes for cross checking.

Everybody has a plan till they get punched in the face. You have the right to talk shite but that doesn't mean you won't get smoked doing it.
