No joke. Has there ever been any softer full-team « brawl » if you even call it that? Freaking hilarious

Matthews for sure was trying to make out with thompson

Embarrassing.

Bertuzzi and giordano for sure. Say what you want about how soft it was but it was fun to watch as a fan. Great way to end a good game for Toronto

Second time this season I’ve heard a referee give misconducts to every player on the ice.

It was a scuffle at best, maybe a humdinger.

My take was that everyone was being careful to keep their gloves on because if you get a fighting major with less than 5 minutes left in the game, you get a suspension.

That was a grade 6 school dance, complete with Modesty Gaps

The whole game as boring. Just my take. Literally zero stakes and Buffalo got stomped.

I find it funny this is being referred to as a brawl. Definitely the saddest brawl ever. Like a big wrestle match. Did anyone even drop a glove.

There were more hugging, and dancing to a ballad on the dance floor 😁 Nothing to see here, circulate,,

Buffalo wants nothing to do with actually throwing fists.

Wings vs Avalanche 12 player fight, greatest of all time.

Bizarre 11-Player Brawl*
Buffalo pulled their goalie so it was 6 on 5. You can actually see when everyone pairs off, that there’s usually a throuple with 1 leaf and 2 bruins.

Calling it a brawl is just incorrect. There is no definition that would allow whatever that was to be classified as a brawl. You want to see a real brawl? Watch Fight Night at the Joe.
That was a brawl. That was a war.

This is the crispest, most life-like video I have ever seen on Reddit. Thank you for this. I will never again be satisfied watching hockey.

Looks like aggressive hugging.

They hug each other for 2 minutes

Dance practice? I saw a lot of dudes hugging, but no fighting anywhere. Typical leafs hockey it seems.

Dang so I respect Bertuzzi wearing a neck guard but damn he’ll do that but won’t take a vaccine. Like, man 😂

Wasn’t it 11 players because Buffalo pulled the tendy?

So many sticks at head-height.
These scrums post-whistle wouldn’t be so fucking cringey if they didn’t act like high school players with full cages. The protocol is to keep the blade on the ice, and keep your hands to the side if you’re not looking to toss gloves. As soon as the first player throws gloves, you lock up with the closest player to you and watch, unless you both agree to fight, in which case you also drop them.
Hockey is so much more skilled now, but you can’t find a single fucking one of them that knows how to draw penalties after a whistle and protect themselves at the same time. They all carry their sticks as if they never had to get fake teeth before.
The league needs to address this shitty evolution of how players handle business after whistles. It’d be great to see a group of players from the 90s address the GMs in summer meetings and share some videos to show everyone how mature players used to handle shit like this.
It’s currently not toughness or sticking up for teammates. It’s just simply bullshit by an entire league of highly skilled players who never learned how to do things the right way because in minor hockey they were never called on to answer the bell.
