You mean there was some real hockey played during the scheduled fights? What surprises me is that this didn't happen more often.

Very disturbing video clip. 2 things that I found disturbing... the fact that they were using their sticks alot on each other (especially that guy at the end, he was using it like a weapon) and the fact that the ref just stood there and watched those 2 guys wail on each other! I wish I could understand what the announcers were saying! I also wish I could read the comments!

I would just like to make it clear that the game shown was not from the oylmpics. It was from a professional hockey league in Europe. Think level of AAA baseball

Also the refs are taught not to get inbetween two players that are fighting (for their own safety) They wait till the players fighting get tired or one has a clear advantage. In that situation, since everyone is on the ice fighting, they are not going to risk there own safety, they will let the players police themselves

Some men are such idiots aren't they???

It always amazes me that these guys who wear 20 lbs. of protective equipment will wail on each other. Duh!
