Bruins and Lightning have line brawl after Zdeno Chara cross-checked from behind

For those of you who like violence in your hockey, there was a lot of hacking, whacking, and face-punching in the Boston Bruins-Tampa Bay Lightning game, Saturday night.

In the second period, there was an all-out line brawl after Anthony Cirelli cross-checked future Hall of Famer Zdeno Chara to the ice from behind.

NESN’s Jack Edwards, who’s notorious for his homerific and over-the-top commentating, had the call.

Goalies get involves in Coyotes-Flames line brawl

I’m always a fan of goalies doing things other than stopping shots, which is why I’m bringing you video of the line brawl between the Calgary Flames and Arizona Coyotes Saturday night.

Goaltenders David Rittich and Darcy Kuemper both left their creases and got involved in the line brawl. Rittich tried to play more of a peacekeeper role while Kuemper was throwing hands at Matthew Tkachuk.

Mike Green Jumped Face First Into a Line Brawl

Former Capitals defenseman Mike Green usually is a lover, not a fighter. Hence why I was surprised to see Green jump head first into an angry line brawl during the waning moments of Wings/Bolts Game Two.

Late in the first period, Michael Latta stuck out his leg and tripped Jets center Mark Scheifele. Defenseman Jacob Trouba responded by cross-checking Latta, and then they fought at center ice for nearly a full minute.

Meanwhile, a mini line brawl began behind the play, with Tom Wilson skating towards Mark Stuart and wrestling him down to the ice.

Video of the Caps-Pens Line Brawl From Behind the Pens Bench

Last week, the Caps and Penguins played one of the most tense games of the season. It included a first-period brawl that spilled onto the Pens bench. For whatever reason, NBCSN showed us just one or two angles of the dust-up and then moved on. On Reddit, user beardyman22 shared a story that didn’t make it to air that night.

Capitals and Penguins Line Brawl: What Even is Happening?

We knew from the moment Tom Wilson shoved Evgeni Malkin during warm-ups that tonight’s game would be a cluster. Sure enough, eight minutes into the first period, everything went to hell.

Saturday night, the Hershey Bears and the Bridgeport Sound Tigers (the New York Islanders affiliate) played one of the most entertaining and violent American Hockey League games of the season. The Bears and Sound Tigers combined to score seven goals and earn nearly 200 penalty minutes. The game featured a chaotic line-brawl, a goalie fight, eight ejections, and 12 misconducts.

By now, you’ve probably already seen the video (taken by RMNB alumnus Kyle Mace) of Caps prospects Steve Oleksy, Connor Carrick, Chris Brown, Liam O’Brien, and the Bears’ goalie combatant, Pheonix Copley. By Sunday night, the video had amassed over 130,000 views.

Caps-Flyers Brawl: Three Guys Jump John Erskine, Wayne Simmonds Holds Erskine so Lecavalier Can Punch Him Better (GIF)

Simmonds holds Erskine as Lecavalier connects with a haymaker. Disgraceful.

Who had “line brawl” on their Flyers-Capitals bingo card? Really? All of you? Okay, cool.

Well… did you “three dudes jump on Erskine?” Exactly!

Photoshop Challenge: Angry John Carlson Yells At Things

Photo credit: Eric Hartline

During Friday’ Caps/Flyers line brawl, defenseman John Carlson lost his mind while watching his best pal Braden Holtby get assaulted by Ray Emery. In this photo by Eric Hartline, Carlson yells at official Francois St. Laurent for his role in letting the attack happen. John Carlson is a good teammate. He cares. This is good.

But I’m a snide blogger and I can’t help but laugh. I’ve looked at this photo 73 times since Saturday, and I giggle every time. Carlson looks like he’s about to eat St. Laurent whole. He looks like he wants to destroy something beautiful. He looks like he’s telling Tom Cruise that he can’t handle the truth. Carlson is usually a mellow guy, with a slight grimace on his face 99% of the time, so the whole thing was a bit unusual.

I wonder what would happen if I cut out Angry John and let you guys put him in other settings, situations, and events? That worked wonders for McKayla Maroney.

Download it as a png (here’s another version that includes his leg), and put Angry John wherever you want, and upload your photoshop (save it as a jpeg) into our comments below. Can’t wait to see what you guys come up with.
