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.

I guess when you’re used to watching soccer with players on foot playing on an enormous field, that hockey would seem fast and violent. As someone who started walking on Monday and on Friday was learning to skate, hockey is just part of growing up Canadian. You’re responsible for the 360* around you at all times. The fighting is just part of the strategy. Many players have been recruited specifically for their fighting abilities. I miss the old days when the fighters would punch each other in the face until they were tired out. None of this one punch stuff.

"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

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 KZread wormhole!

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..

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.

You need to do a reaction to the broad street bullies. Old school hockey was all about fighting and its been toned down quite a bit in the last few decades. Fighting and hockey go hand in hand and always have. It's a very fast and aggressive sport thats finally getting the recognition it deserves. Hockey is the toughest fastest team sport in existence and always has been! Also potentially most deadliest being everyone has 2 razor sharp skates on!

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.

I have just come across your reactions this week and I'm hooked. America is a violent place, and your reactions to what passes for sports and/or entertainment is great. In one of the NFL videos you reacted to showed children also playing and getting "walloped" as you describe it. Yeah, in America people learn the violence at a ripe young age. I thought it was very funny when you realized what American football was in comparison to Rugby.

I was at that game. It was horrific.

You ask, "As an Irishman, am I allowed to watch NHL?" Let me sat this, Adam: If you are a living, breathing human being, you are allowed to watch NHL, regardless of your ethnicity or nationality. Glad to see you're enjoying the sport. If I may make a suggestion, look into the history of the Stanley Cup. It is one of the oldest trophies in all of professional sports; it borders on a holy grail for hockey players. Also, look up Stanley Cup moments and highlights. The more you learn about the Cup, the more it makes sense why players get emotional when hoisting it over their heads.

There's the old joke that sometimes you go to a boxing match & a hockey game breaks out. Anyone who has never been to an NHL game should go at least once. There's always something interesting to watch when ten 200 lb men are skating 25-30 mph in a confined area with the goal of hitting each other. Besides the hard hitting & rough parts, there's also nothing like watching very talented skaters make extremely quick pin-point passes finished with an accurate laser-like shot for a goal or to see a goalie contort himself & stretch out to keep the puck out of the net. Also, the eruption of the crowd when the home team scores (especially in a tight game) is really fun. There's a tension that builds before a goal & you just feel the atmosphere explode when the puck hits the net. It's my absolute favorite spectator sport. My wife knew nothing about hockey before we went to a couple of games & she fell in love with it. Now she's a die-hard hockey fan. Not just a home team fan but a fan of the sport. I kind of created a monster but we've had great times over the years at games. Tip for people new to the game: If you don't have any clue about the rules, look up "icing" & "offsides". Understanding those two calls will help you figure out the flow of the game. The other stuff is more self-explanatory, where once you see it called once or twice, you will be able to recognize it. Icing & offsides are the most frequent reasons play is stopped & not the easiest to discern what the calls are just watching the game so tracking down a good explanation of both will make the action much easier to follow.

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😂

Played hockey for 20 years. Fighting g is part of it but not everything. It’s an aggressive but respectful sport and fights happen when you cross the line of respect or sometimes just to get your team pumped up if your losing. It’s great. Handle it and then when it’s done it’s done. As soon as someone is knocked down you stop. Great video

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.

There actually used to be more fighting in hockey. In today's game it's toned down.

I played in the Industrial League in Windsor which was a league where factory workers played hockey for recreation, the rules allowed 3 fights in a game and the 3rd fight you were tossed out of that game and 1 additional game - it was awesome we had a south paw who was our enforcer!

Fastest toughest game in the world. When two men moving 25-30 mph collide the kinetic energy generated is huge. The Canadian boys are the toughest. Big tough boys from small town Canada that grew up playing like this. That said there is a price to pay. Some guys have had a hundred fights or more. Brain injury. The NHL is not even the toughest league by a long shot. Fun to watch your reaction.
