Now This Is An Old-School Hockey Fight
The argument for fighting in hockey is twofold: that the threat of a beating serves as a deterrent, policing dirty hits against skill players, and that a good, rousing rumble can fire up an uninspired team. That hockey has neither gotten more dangerous nor less inspired as fighting had decreased dra...
Flames Pest Ryan Lomberg Takes On A Much Larger Opponent, Eats Many Fists
The reason why the tale of David and Goliath is notable is because most of the time, Goliath should win. Put a 5-foot-9, 175-pound AHL goon against a 6-foot-5, 235-pound counterpart, and who do you think will usually come out on top?...
Nazem Kadri And Joe Thornton Get Mad, Get Thrown Out Of Faceoff Circle, Fight

Unruly Hockey Kid Fights Ref
This large hockey son is definitely getting booted from his high school hockey game in Buffalo, NY for knocking down the ref trying to put him in the penalty box. But to be perfectly honest, I’m pretty sure the ref shoved first....
Chris Kreider Bludgeoned Cody Eakin With His Own Helmet
The helmet: a useful tool for keeping your brains intact. Also, apparently a weapon?...
Goalie Fight Comes To Sudden, Violent End
Adam Vay of the Quad City Mallards—a real team in the ECHL, I swear—is not someone you wan to scrap with. The goalie is an avid MMA practitioner, but it seems that Cincinnati Cyclones keeper Michael Houser didn’t know that, because he tried to throw hands last night. It did not end well....
