This is undoubtedly the most beautiful thing in American sport: the staging. In the Alberta Derby in the NHL, the North American professional hockey league between the Edmonton Oilers and the Calgary Flames, we witnessed one of the least spontaneous performances in history. A fight in several homes, at the four corners of the field, which ended up forcing the guards to stick themselves to each other, one against one in the middle of the field.

But hey, it's a bit of a custom, if there is a general fight, everyone sends each other. Remember that hockey is the only sport that "tolerates" fights, since the referees must let the players settle their accounts between themselves before penalizing them afterwards. The two goalkeepers, in this case, were excluded from the match.
If only we had the right to that during France-England of the VI Nations ... Ah, and for the info, it was Edmonton who won the match (8-3). But we don't have the stitches score.
