Hockey still allows fighting, and while the brawls often end up a bit on the boring side (turns out it’s hard to truly brawl on skates), there are some occasional highlights.
Few, though, are as relatively spectacular as tonight’s scrap between Anaheim Ducks defenseman Kevin Bieksa and Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Radko Gudas.
Well, more of a fight between Bieksa’s fist and Gudas’s face:

My god! That man has a family! Bieksa somehow managed to come in with and land a superman punch, one of WWE Superstar Roman Reigns’s signature moves. But he did it in a real fight, while skating on the ice.

Okay, fighting should be allowed. In fact, not only should the NHL allow fighting, but ice boxing should be an Olympic sport.
What could possibly go wrong?
