The 4 Most Epic Hockey Fights In NHL History
AskMen

Now, I am not really that into sports, but let me tell you -- hockey is a different story. And unless you live under a rock or are too busy counting down the days until football season, you should know that it's the NHL playoffs, the most important time of the year. So, in honor of the playoff season kicking off this week, I compiled my four favorite hockey fights in NHL history.

1. "The Brawl."

My favorite fight of all time. This Flyer and Senator fight was dubbed "The Brawl" due to the sheer magnitude of it. It received the most penalties per minute in a game. But who battled out the hardest? Senators. Duh.

2. Penguins vs. Islanders.

There are quite a few fights that happened this night, but my favorite two are at 4:20, when there is a giant iceman pile up on the rink, and at 5:00, when Johnson spun out into the goal. So who won this one? Islanders. Need I even say it?

3. Sharp vs. Horcoff.

OK, so it's not an all-out brawl, but the announcer gets me every time: "They talked it out." You mean with their fists? This brawl is the toughest I have seen in the last few years, and it's a real shame Sharp got traded because this is a definite Blackhawks win.

4. Sharks vs. Blues.

How can you not love all the bear hugging in this all-out brawl? The whole game was full of them, but this fight takes the cake. Shout out to Sobotka for showing mercy. This was clearly a Blues win.

Whether you agree with my top choices or not, it's hard for any hockey fan to deny that the epic fights are one of the best parts about the game.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
