Spoiler alert: Possibly our favorite hockey fight moment of the season took place last week. You probably already saw it as we covered it heavily when it happened, but how often do you see a guy punch himself in the head during a fight? Oh, there were also four other fights which were pretty solid […]

Happy Holidays! The NHL’s Christmas break resulted in a small sample of fights to choose from, but we think there’s still some strong ones in this week’s batch. Is our top fight in this week’s installment a Fight of the Year candidate? You be the judge. 5. Kyle Chipchura (ARI) vs Steve Pinizzotto (EDM) – […]

Welcome to the 10th installment of Hockey Fights of the Week from the 2014-15 season. As we head into the Holidays, what better way to prepare to spend time with relatives than by watching a bunch of hockey players beat each other up? This week is all about lopsided fights where it’s easy to see who […]

Did last week’s fights deliver one of the best of 2014-15? You be the judge, but we’re always excited when two captains start throwing punches. Aside from that, the other major story here involves NHL officials and the fact they’re breaking up fights earlier and earlier. Unless you’re going to ban fighting, ban it, otherwise […]

The 2014-15 season may be remembered as the season in which the sport of hockey pushed away from fighting. Players are still dropping the mitts, but they are doing so at a greatly reduced rate. Last season we typically were reviewing 20-30 fights each week and now we’re lucky if we have 15 or more. […]

Are you ready for another installment of Hockey Fights of the Week? Of course you are. This week’s collection features three fairly even scraps and two lopsided bouts. Plenty of familiar names litter the rankings this week and we’ll also touch on our vote for the most underrated fighter in the NHL. 5. Wayne Simmonds […]

Our last installment of Hockey Fights of the Week was arguably the best of the 2014-15 season. How did the league’s warriors follow up on that outstanding collection of fights? There were fewer fights around the league, but the ones we did see were gems.

This installment of Hockey Fights of the Week features plenty of familiar names. If you’ve followed this series over the last couple of seasons, there’s a group of guys you expect to find in our rankings. Rinaldo, Roussel, Glass and McLeod are just a few of the names we’ve featured prominently over the last couple […]

We haven’t hyped up our first installments of Hockey Fights of the Week this year because the action within didn’t deserve an abundance of praise. We’ve seen some good fights, but it’s doubtful that any of the early scraps would be included in our recap of the year’s best. Thankfully, that all changes this week. This […]

The first month of 2014-15 is officially in the books. So far the year has yielded plenty of surprises, a ton of talking points and some memorable fights. As we’ve mentioned in one of our previous installments, the number of fights seems to be on the decline which makes our job a difficult one. Teams […]

The 2014-15 season is in full swing and we’re ready to bring you the second installment of Hockey Fights of the Week this year. Despite the action on the ice heating up and several teams scrambling and battling to get their year on track, the gloves haven’t been tossed too often. The NHL’s Department of […]

The 2013-14 season is in the books. There were a few tight playoff races, but the overall picture was mostly decided. Despite there being few truly pivotal games in the final week, the fights didn’t disappoint. This will be our final regular installment of Hockey Fights of the Week for the 13-14 season. Stay tuned […]

Welcome to our second to last installment of Hockey Fights of the Week of the 2013-14 season. As we’ve discussed in the past, teams are doing more fighting in the standings than they are on the ice as the season winds down. That’s not to say everyone is playing nice (they’re not), but it does […]

Some weeks we feature close, tightly-contested fights where it’s difficult to pick a winner. This is not one of those weeks. This week you’ll see five lopsided battles where you almost feel sorry for the loser – almost.
