[@GregHartmanMusic]

You generally get a 5 minute major on both sides for a fight, where neither team is shorthanded and both men are back in 5 minutes, unless one gets injured. You see them talking first a lot because if only one drops his gloves, he is the only one that gets a penalty, so they both agree to it, and if one backs out and draws a penalty, everyone on the ice knows he is a bitch. The refs only let the fight go on if two willing participants square up. Once it no longer seems like two willing participants, they break it up. There is actually a whole section of rules for fights, haha. Hockey is amazing.

[@TooBokoo]

And furthermore, refs stand back and let them tire themselves out, usually until they fall on each other and then the refs pile on to break it up. They're not getting in between two pissed off players and catching a fist. That's why they let them go at it.

[@tommya8527]

[@spencercleaves1408]

"They are commentating the fight" Yea, it's part of the sport. Not as much nowadays but back in the 90s and 2000s, fighting was a way to keep you goal scorers safe from big hitters. If someone tried to step up and hit one of your goal scorers, the coach would throw an enforcer (yes, they have a specific name for fighters in the nhl) and get him to beat the brakes off the guy who tried to hit your star player. It's part of the sport and adds entertainment. Coaches will also put enforcers out to start a fight to try and flip momentum to their advantage in the game

[@joshfontaine444]

I’ve played goalie my whole life. Sometimes, u gotta get into a fight. And holy shit it’s so much fun taking your helmet off and unstrapping ur glove and blocker and just watch both benches and the whole crowd stand up and lose their shit because two sumo wrestlers are about to go at it.

Joshua Lewis - That was the most intense game I’ve ever seen. Claude Lemieux got pummeled by McCarty, Roy was cut by Vernon and most of the Avs’ left bloodied. All because of Lemieux’s cheap shot on Kris Draper the previous year. It was the best retribution I’ve seen in sports. For those new to hockey; search for this fight along with anything Bob Probert or Joe Kocur. Also, Unwritten rules of hockey: Fighters/Tough guys never fight the skill players. If someone gets knocked down/out from a punch, the fight is over. Never shoot a puck into opponents goal after the play has been whistled dead. Search for any of the above or hockey fights in general. Enjoy a KZbin wormhole!

[@JJ-bi5qx]

Good old line brawls

[@RufeeColada]

10:00 “why did that start?” Because nowadays even touching the goalie gets an outright brawl going. The one player ran into the goalie, the goalie basically clotheslined him with his stick. So both teams were angry.

[@MarkParkTech]

Damn straight, you get in the goalies crease, usually the team will take issue, if you touch the goalie, prepare for bruises, even if it's accidental.

[@tjanderson8800]

@Rufio nowadays? Back in the day you didn’t even need to touch the goalie, just be in the slot somewhere when the puck was in the crease and sticks would get up and it would get pretty ugly, I played Jr A between 95-99 and it was brutal some games, The last year I played they made a rule if you fought in the final 10 min of 3rd period you got suspended for the next game cause every game would eventually turn into a fight fest at the end. It was one of the funnest times in my life!

[@edschramm6757]

99% of the time, if you touch a goalie, you better be willing to scrap. there are occasional exceptions to that, but those are only if it was visibly accidental, and even that isn't a free pass. i can think of one instance where the guy "blew a tire" driving the net and plowed the Colorado goalie. the players were more forgiving than the ref. one of the players said "nobody is saying you did it on purpose" to the guy, and the ref gave a penalty believing intentional contact

[@ejspode9503]

Since the Pittsburgh skater (the dark jersey) was the infamously dirty Matt Cooke, it's a good bet that the Isle's goalie was looking to just get enough of him to goad him into taking a penalty. And by the way, there was bad blood for years between Pittsburgh and the New York Islanders.

[@edschramm6757]

one of my former coaches took a puck up high during a skirmish. i only heard about this after the fact, this was after that season had ended. i knew the guy wears a visor, but it had failed previously, so he played without it for the last minute of the period, figuring he would fix it between periods. took a slap shot in the eye.

[@DanSk451]

Adam, you have to understand the intensity of the game of hockey, when played at a high level. You have 10 men, huge men, flying around at 40 km/hr, in an area less than half the size of a soccer field, after one object, the puck. These guys make millions of dollars to get that puck, in a full body contact job. With sticks in their hands. You bet there is going to be physical conflict. In the old days it was a deterrent to anybody taking cheap shots or trying to injure, or as punishment for actions that a 2 minute penalty didn't get the point across. Don't do that again. These days, because of a wider audience that doesn't know what this game encompasses, they are shocked just like you. It's easier to understand if you understand the history of the game where there used to be a ring of people around the rink. That's all. Personal and team honour was a personal thing. Now television, and all of the sudden, soccer and badminton players and mommies have an opinion.

The fighting is just part of the strategy. Many players have been recruited specifically for their fighting abilities.

I used to work in a store where a decent number of NHL players for the Islanders would shop and the Islanders enforcer Matt Martin was by far the kindest and most gracious player I've ever encountered. The kicker: he was looking to buy a copy of The Art of War.

[@SurfingTheSoundwaves]

Love your reactions. Everyone got a 5-minute major for fighting. Fighting needs to exist in the NHL, because when large men are flying down the ice at 45 kilometers an hour, a cheap shot could be career-ending and potentially life-threatening, as you rightly pointed out the blades on everyone's feet and the ice being as unforgiving as concrete. Knowing you'll get your lights punched out keeps the really bad cheap shots at bay, for the most part. It'd work well in footie too. Take a dive and hold your shin like you've been shot and you'll get shit-kicked, and the guy who beats you will go sit on the side for 5 minutes, then be right back out..

[@Anika-kc9wv]

Yes fighting is very much apart if the sport in that it hypes up the crowd and players protect and get revenge for teammates, part of why I love it. And as an Australian I love the NHL, so I'm pretty sure it's okay for an Irishman😂

You should take a look at Rick Rypien fights. He was a small dude who often fought above his weight class and still came out on top. He could punch with both hands equally well and blocked better than most hockey players. He left us all too soon but gave us some good memories. RIP Rypien

You need to watch some of the old fights, cause back in the day when they hit the ice that is just when things started to get interesting my friend.

[@SalaComMander]

Hockey is pretty much taking the concept of soccer and making it appeal to Americans and Canadians. For one thing, the field of play is a lot smaller, so things are happening almost all the time. You've got big, tough men with blades on their feet and sticks in their hands sliding around in a frozen arena of pain. You've got a sport where not only is fist fighting allowed, its actually strategic and teams can have a special player whose _entire role_ is to pick a fight. Because according to us, soccer is fine, but it could use more violence and less traction.

[@vazy1232]

SalaComMander that’s a part of it but hockey’s much more than that bud, amazing talent and finesse, and it’s Canada’s sport. most Americans don’t even watch hockey

[@rebecca4680]

I’d also argue hockey takes more skill than most other major league sports. I mean, the most basic act of running around is harder in hockey since you’re trying to balance on ice.

If you haven't seen it yet, look up the "Brawl in Hockeytown" aka "Fight Night at the Joe." It includes multiple whole team brawls at center ice, goal keepers fighting, players leaving their skates to make leaping attacks, and all for revenge of a dirty hit the year before. The Colorado Avalanche of the late 90s were a collection of the worst people in sports and the Redwings were considered a soft European team that just happened to include about half of the Russian Red Army team at that point. It's a classic. Well worth watching the entire thing if you can find it.

My boys play, my oldest son's high school and competitive league won two state championships. He didn't fake injuries, he did break an arm in 8th grade and finish the game before heading to dr. He was always picked by his teammates as the best defensive player. Not that I am one of those proud soccer moms or anything 🤣🤣🤣 I could brag on my daughter two, ESPN did televise them the years they made world semi-finals for cheer. Cheer is not what you think especially when it comes to training and competing. You can miss two practices before your benched.

@@mikestiles373 There were a total of 18 fighting majors on March 26, 1997, and I am pretty sure all of them happened after the puck dropped, some in the middle of play. The Avs got a powerplay or two, so I'd imagine the Red Wings got some sort of extra penalty for instigating or whatever the rule was back then. I was born in 1999 and started watching hockey in 2003, so I don't remember much.

[@AkSamurai69]

When it comes to the goalie fight at the end, it started because a player hit the goalie. As a defenseman, or really any player will tell you, if you hit my goalie, intentionally or not, you're getting beat up. Fighting in hockey is pretty much a requirement. You have to get that aggression out, or else it will get even nastier. Thats why the ref's let the boys go at it, and when its done they take care of it. The evolution of fighting in hockey is a long one. I play, and I've even referred. It's a mutual understanding. I suggest watching "the blood game" between the Detroit red wings and the Colorado avalanche back in the late 90s. Prompted by the hit on chris Draper the year before.
