Hockey fan OTers

That’s reminiscent of Red Wings v Avalanche fights in the 1990s, although those were far more brutal and involved far more blood. They fought off of the puck drop on multiple occasions, at the same time both were at the highest level of hockey and winning Stanley Cup. The mid Ice goalie throw down ala Patrick Roy is pretty rare.

The NHL has a code. As long as it was “ fair “ and all were game for the fight and no sticks were involved, it’s a slap on the wrist. Any intent to injure combined with injury is where they throw the book at a guy. They have cleaned it up a LOT .

Yep.

You drop the gloves you are saying you want to head to the showers.

So in the video, looks like all players were involved...that is a lot of ejections

Fighting is dying out in the modern sport. Rarely do you see these type of line brawls and even more rare is the goalie fight. People want it out of the game but I still think it has a place in the game to protect your star guys. Same with hitting a guy in baseball, there is a time and place for it.

Ovechkin killed a guy last year

Funny thing is that guy he knocked out idolized Ovi growing up.
