See what we mean...???

A Better Goalie Fight Than The Almost-NHL Version

((HT: Puck Daddy/Leahy))

The HQ always wonders aloud why refs and other officials never just let goalies go if they want to scrap...

Earlier this week in the big leagues, Marc Andre Fleury wanted to go with Peter Budaj, but the zebras stepped in...

Last night, we got a longer version of the above...
And we actually got some action...

AHL... SWB and Norfolk...
Jeff Deslauriers and John Gibson...

Your Normal, Every Day AHL Playoff Brawl

((HT: AHLPenguins/Puck Daddy))

The Eastern Conference semifinals are now heading to a Game 6 after the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins shut out the Providence Bruins 4-0 last night.

But, a most chippy series go, there are a certain amount of fireworks- and last night gave it to us...

The two teams combined for 113 penalty minutes- most of them when Bruins forward Graham Mink fell on top of Penguins goalie Brad Theissen after he froze the puck. Mink had had a tete-a-tete with Theissen a few minutes before:

Here's the full highlights from Scranton-Wilkes Barre and the fight starts about the 7:00 mark...
With another round a minute later in the highlights...


You gotta like Pens play-by-play guy Tom Grace and all of his warnings- partial or otherwise...

And, for the HQ, it was interesting to see that Garnet Exelby is in Providence and that Riley Holzapfel and Steve MacIntyre are with WBS... nothing like knowing your enforcers and old draft picks

AHL Player takes on an entire team

((ht: buzzfeed/hockeyfights.com))

Bless you Minor League Hockey. For without you, goofy blogs such as ours would seriously lack material to publish or pass on to the Internet version of the Sports world. Because highlights such as yours, rarely are seen on SportsCenter.

Today's brawl comes courtesy of our friends at hockeyfights.com. In it, Steve McIntyre of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, a team that can't put their city on the jersey because it won't fit, gets angry at something and commences fighting.

During said fight with the Springfield Falcons, McIntyre takes on the goalie, the defensemen and anyone else who comes near him. And no, this isn't the 1st time we've posted video of our pal Mr. McIntyre in action.

Unfortunately it doesn't exactly show how it started, but the video from AHL.com is rather lengthy...and fun to watch.

Great Hockey fight, better play-by-play

((ht: eye-on-hockeyblogs))

Wow! Leave it to the minor-league's to show us a hardcore hockey fight. And this one, from Saturday's Wilkes/Barre/Scranton Penguins and Norfolk Admirals of the American Hockey League was pretty darn good.

But it may be topped by the play-by-play.

Here is the set up: Penguins enforcer Steve McIntyre and Admirals forward Eric Neilson get tangled up after a face-off in the 2nd period of Saturday's game...which we might add, was on TV.

A good, ole-fashioned "Slobberknocker" ensued with McIntyre landing multiple big shots on Neilson who refused to go down.

We have no idea who the announcers are, but they are absolutely hilarious.

Just watch...and listen. (Video courtesy: steelcityassault1/YouTube)
