Like a frustrated dad who’s had it up to here, NHL referee gives every player on the ice misconducts during Tkachuk brothers game

Brady Tkachuk’s Ottawa Senators and Matthew Tkachuk’s Florida Panthers combined for the most penalty minutes, 166, in a single NHL game last season. The two teams managed to top themselves in their first meeting of this season by combining for 167 on Monday night.

An all-out brawl occurred late in the third period that sparked that high-water PIM number. After the players were finally separated, on-ice officials got creative… and uber-punitive to wrest control back of the game.

Ten players were effectively ejected at the same time.

The Capitals and Rangers had six fights and a line brawl to start the game. The teams had 100 PIMs combined in the first period.

In the hours leading up to Wednesday’s rematch between the Capitals and Rangers, the Rangers organization called Tom Wilson’s role in a line brawl on Monday “a horrific act of violence.” Rangers players said Wilson had no respect for the game or its players. And the team said the Department of Player Safety’s George Parros should be fired after choosing to fine, not suspend the Capitals forward. The Rangers essentially painted themselves into a corner, where there had to be retribution in Wednesday’s game.

And retribution there was.

The Rangers and Capitals opened the game with a line brawl. All six forwards on the ice fought. Before the game was five minutes old, the teams dropped the mitts six different times.

As the play was whistled dead, Tom Wilson punched Buchnevich in the side of the head as the Rangers’ forward laid defenseless and face down on the ice.

Things deteriorated from there.

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.

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.
