Extreme Hockey Fights

In the hockey fight video on February 2nd, 2011, New York Islander’s Rick DiPietro take a cheap shot on Pittsburgh Penguin’s Matt Cook with his blocker because Matt Cook has been pissing him off in recent games. The two teams skirmish a bit and then the Pengiun’s goalie, Brent Johnson, decides to have a go at a fight with DiPietro.  This hockey goalie fight doesn’t last long with only one bunch thrown, but we aren’t disappointed. Johnson gets a left handed hook punch and knocks Dipietro out on the first punch.

It’s so rare the NHL goalies fight, always a treat to see. Can’t remember the last time a goalie fight resulted in a KO.

A video of an emotionally charged hockey fight between 4th line enforcer Aaron Voros of the Anaheim ducks and Kevin Bieksa of the Vancouver Canucks. This hockey fight doesn’t last long, with Kevin Bieksa getting a few harsh right hand hooks in there, one of which broke Aaron Voros’ orbital bone.

Wild hockey fight between Chris Stewart of the Colorado Avalanche and Kyle Brodziak of the Minnesota Wild on November 27th, 2010. They decide to square off in the second period off the faceoff,  with neither of the two hockey players being an enforcer. Stewart does however have a bit more fighting experience than Brodziak and unleases a wrath of punches on Brodziak’s head. He even punches Brodziak’s head’s backside which isn’t done often and is considered very poor class.

Stewart easily wins the fight as Brodziak just falls down not knowing what to do. Stewart continued to show bad class by doing hand gestures to at the Wild bench as he leaves the ice. Brodziak gets the final laugh in this fight however as Stewart ended up breaking his left hand. Stewart is now out for 4 to 6 weeks. Guess karma appears to be at work here.

A great emotional hockey line brawl in the AHL between the Toronto Marlies and the Grand Rapids Griffins at the Ricoh Coliseum on November 24th, 2010. A huge total of 18 Fighting majors were given out for the fisticuffs that happened in this emotional hockey game.

The two teams hate each other so much during this fight that you see the refs having to tackle Darryl Boyce of the Toronto Marlies (#7)  to rescue the Griffins’ Tomas Tatar (#27) after Boyce devastated him. I chuckled when I saw that.  Another great was between Francis Pare of the Griffins (#9) and Matt Lashoff of the Marlis (#21) at center ice. Lots of harsh uppercut punches and hooks thrown.

Also, a rare time that the video of this extreme hockey fight was filmed by a fan and the footage is not from a television network. Great job by the fan filming this great hockey fight!

Rick Rypien, an undrafted enforcer for the Vancouver Canucks gets pissed off at some Minnesota Wild fan who is clapping as he is leaving the ice. The whole incident was preceded by an on ice shoving match between the Minnesota Wild players and Vancouver Canucks players.

As he is walking off the ice, Rypien simply shoves the fan who is claping in his face. He is escorted away before things can get any worse though. For this shove, Rypien got a 6 game suspension (way too long in my opinion).

Miss the good old days of hockey fights between players and fans. Such as when the entire Boston Bruins team got in a fight with the New York Rangers fans and entered the stands back in 79.
