fighting

It is normal to see enforcers drop the gloves and fight in an NHL game. It is not normal when a fight happens between two All Stars.

When you are playing for one of the hardest trophies to win in sports you sometimes have to the dirty work to help your team win.

One of the great beards in the sport of hockey is sported by Joe Thornton of the Sharks. Recently before the opening face off of the game, Thornton and Nasem Kadri of the Maple Leafs dropped the gloves.

There must of been some hangover from the recent UFC event at Little Caesars Arena, as the Red Wings were involved in 3 fights in their recent loss to the Florida Panthers.

If you like your fights quick check out this recent one between the Ducks and the Flyers.

The NHL season is over a week old and we have already had one of the best fights in awhile. This one happened recently in a game between Chicago and Minnesota.

No clue if it had anything to do with the classic hockey comedy, "Slap Shot" celebrating it's 40th anniversary of release over the weekend, but lots of fighting involved in a AHL game between Chicago and Iowa Saturday.

We may get an occasional fight here and there in an NHL game.  Not since the ugliness of the Red Wings, Avalanche rivalry have I seen brawls like this recent game between Vancouver and Toronto that happened over the weekend.

Dylan Larkin had a break out rookie season last year for the Detroit Red Wings.  So far he has yet to score a goal in this young season.   He did however get into his first fight this past weekend.

Fighting is a major part of the sport of Hockey.  Normally it is between two players, but in some cases you get some big brawls.   In a recent KHL game in Russia, a game was cancelled as one player tried to fight the other team.
