The Who
Journey Man
There is footage of a pre-meditated brawl in a hockey match where as soon as the whistle sounded players dropped their sticks and punched on. It was very 'dignified'. When one of the players in each brawl fell to the ice the refs stopped the fight and sent the players off for just five minutes to cool down. It seemed so gentlemanly. Everybody seemed pleased with the action. Nobody over reacted. (Story follows). Hopefully Global will be able to post the vision and provide more of a back story to the way fighting is looked upon in professional ice hockey.
Six NHL players dropped their sticks to the ground and began trading punches as soon as their game began on Wednesday night, with both teams' penalty boxes filling up in a wild first quarter.
The brawl resulted in Rangers' Kevin Rooney, Colin Blackwell and Phillip Di Giuseppe, and Capitals' Nic Dowd, Carl Hagelin and Garnet Hathaway all sent from the ice for five minutes.
The actions of the Rangers players were seemingly in response to an incident on Monday, when Capitals winger Tom Wilson was fined, not suspended, for punching Rangers forward Pavel Buchnevich in the back of the head while he was face-down on the ice.
