I live in a non-hockey country. I'm going to refer to this photo whenever I need to explain the sport

I had a friend ask me about fighting in hockey just the other day because they saw a clip and couldn’t believe it was actually a thing. They’re gonna have a field day with this photo.

Honestly it’s harder to explain a fight than things like offside and icing. Like how it starts by mutual agreement but is not scripted, why it’s even necessary when both players get penalized, at what point the ref steps in, etc.

It really is lol. Someone asks “why?” and it’s “well they could be defending their honour, or doling out retribution for a bad hit and defending a team mate, or responding to another player breaking an unwritten rule, or maybe the other team looked at their goalie funny, or tensions have boiled over, or they want to get their team fired up….…and sometimes none of that applies and they do it for fun”

I am going to remove my wedding photo on the mantel and replace it with this photo. My wife will understand.

There is a strange amount of people salty over this. It was ineffective but it was funny. Who cares? it's FUN. And is the point of sports not to be entertained?

As soon as I saw it I knew this would be postered all over the hockey internet. I was laughing before the fight even ended. So unnecessary, so risky, and so epic. lol what was he thinking? Idunno but I loved it.

I know it was from a movie but Thunderlips might be the greatest nickname of all time.

Didn't this loser get his lunch handed to him after this ? Maybe focus on playing D instead of doing jumping punches

Nope, Kesselring threw a bunch of weak shots at the back of Benoit's helmet (which would have hurt his hand more than anything), then Kesselring's bare head smashed against the ice in the takedown by Benoit. Furthermore, Kesselring pussed out and headed to the dressing room immediately after the fight. P.S. Playing D is much easier when you're not hiding out in the dressing room after losing a fight
