Wow, I just watched an on-ice scrum where the Calgary Flames goalie (Sauve, not Kipper) skated the entire length of the ice to join in! Goalie-on-goalie fight action is a pretty rare thing...

Gotta love this game!

  • When I can , Sports normally bore me to tears , but Ice hockey is great because you never know when someone is going to go loco .
    I'm not sure what it is that makes them so violent , perhaps the cold , perhaps the feeling of a large stick in your hands that brings up some primal Club bearing instinct .. or perhaps it takes a nutter to skate around in the freezing cold for hours in bright colours.
    Either way it makes for great entertainment
  • And I got tired and stopped watching that game last night. *sigh* Darn work and reasonable bedtimes.
    • Yeah, it was right at the very end. Looks like Sauve will get a game suspension out of it.

      It stared when the Colorado goalie punched another player in the face. I'm not 100% on the fight rules surrounding goalies, but apparently Sauve felt he was the only one that could properly retaliate.

      Poor ol' Kipper had to come out and stand in the goal for the 3 seconds left after the brawl was cleaned up...

      I'm glad they've dispensed with the bench-clearing brawls though. It delayed the game too much.

  • My favorite hockey fight of all time happened during a SJ Sharks game. The Sharks' and other teams (I forget who they were) enforcers got into a fight at center ice. In a flash the gloves were off and each had one hand on the back of the others head whilst their remaining fist pounded on the front. On and on and on. The fight broke up after two minutes whent hey were both tired to the point of exhaustion and simply couldn't whale on each other anymore;-) The penalty box was a blessing!
