There was a fight recently where Ottawa's newer goalie Emery was scrapping with a regular player. Usually goalies would only pair off with other goalies. Some of the players were asked why they didn't come to Emery's aid. They said he was as tough as anyone and they wouldn't dare try to take over his fight.

Edit: Might as well watch it for yourself -

It's Emery's second fight after he already tangled with the Buffalo goalie. Check out the smile on Ray Emery's face. He's loving it.

How would they get the oppertunity?

They are at oppsite ends of the ice..

There is an additional penalty (or an automatic suspension or something) for a goalie crossing the red line but they usually meet at centre ice. Sometimes one goalie will go flying from one side of the ice to the other to get into the action. Goalie fights are somewhat rare as teams generally want to protect their valuable assets.

I assume that every Canadian has seen "Slap Shot" starring Paul Newman. Non-Canadians, however, may want to check it out.

Edit: Please don't rent Slap Shot 2 though. It stars a Baldwin.

I don't understand why fighting is not stopped :p?!? In other sports fighting is not allowed, and in NHL you get the referee's just standing there and the commentators going "that was a good left hook".

Madness!

They do have blades on their feet and clubs in their hands. The theory is that the natural frustrations of the game would surface in nasty cheapshot-style stick work if fighting were ever eliminated. Plus, fans will always stand up for a better look.

man.. i love hockey fights!

You would have loved hockey from the 1970's. Fighting was more commonplace, including bench brawls.

Tie Domi and Bob Probert fight. Afterwards the rest of the players on the ice get into it.

Buffalo vs Detroit, late 80's-early 90's

A Sabre made the mistake of fighting Yzerman. Bob Probert to the rescue. He smacks the helmet off the Sabre goalie, then gives another player a cheap shot.

Atlanta vs Toronto, 1979

It's funny to watch some of them laying on the ice after fighting, from exhaustion I suppose.

This is a slug fest. These two teams have a history of beating the crap out of one another.

Here they go again.

Philadelphia vs Toronto, 1990s

And again. The goalies hockey-punch the crap out of one another this time (Potvin vs Hextall)

Not a brawl, but an aggravated fan falls into the penalty box, and Tie Domi has some fun with him.

Chicago vs Toronto, 1989.

Nothing too entertaining. While the players on both teams are holding and fighting, Gary Leeman and Denis Savard hesitate to fight by skating in circles for a few minutes before they throw a single punch. When they finally do Gary Leeman is jumped from behind by another player.

Bench clearing brawl.

Philadelphia vs Montreal, 70s

Another bench clearing brawl. Larry Robinson kicks the crap out of Dave "The Hammer" Schultz, who initiated the whole thing.

Philadelphia vs Montreal, 80s

The goalie, Ron Hextall initiates a brawl when he attacks Chris Chelios in retaliation for the

The Broad Street Bullies fighting the Bay Street Bullies, yet again.

Philadelphia vs Vancouver, 1980

This bench brawl involves the goalies, one of which is the current coach of the Washington Capitals. Just seeing Vancouver's wacky old uniform is worth it.

You can find a ton more on YouTube and Google Video by querying "hockey brawl"

      By AndrewSteel · Posted

      So what is it, "Some exciting upgrades happened under the hood, and one of those upgrades is now available to all Windows 11 users." or "Also, you may need to enable it manually, as new features are rolling out gradually. Here is how to do it:" We keep hearing these are rolling out but they never seem to show up, we have force them on with ViVetool. Getting a bit tired of it.

      Seems very lazy, so basically drain more battery power on laptops/tablets if this is turned on.
    • Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio

      Edifier's popular R1280Ts bookshelf speaker can be a nice upgrade for your PC desktop audio by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a very nice discount on Sony's high-resolution SS-CS5M2 speakers, which are currently on sale for just $178. It packs the rather rare super tweeter that offers an additional level of clarity and "airy"-ness which a tweeter cannot provide. It's a passive speaker though which means it will require external amplification, which will cost extra. Let's say though that you have a budget of under $150 but still want a decent-sounding speaker that's active. The Edifier 1280Ts can help in this regard, as the unit is currently at a decent price of $130 (purchase link under the specs table down below). While you will not get deep sub-bass from the 1280Ts, you should get clearer vocals and highs like cymbals than a cheaper satellite-based 2.1 system. Obviously the soundstage and imaging will also improve due to the better reproduction of highs. As mentioned above, the Edifier R1280Ts is active and so does not need a separate amplifier, as it's a powered system with its own amplification. A great thing about this model is that you can add a separate active subwoofer to it too using the "sub out" option, which essentially acts like an LFE. This way, you can add in the missing deep bass. The technical specifications of the Edifier R1280Ts are given in the table below: Specification Value Total Output Power 42W RMS (21W + 21W) Driver Units 4-inch mid-range/bass driver + 0.5-inch silk diaphragm treble driver Frequency Response 52Hz – 20kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) ≥85dBA Input Sensitivity Line In1: R/L: 500±50mV Line In2: R/L: 700±50mV Inputs Dual RCA inputs Outputs Sub Out port for external subwoofer Get it at the link below: Edifier R1280Ts Powered Bookshelf Speakers - 2.0 Stereo Active Near Field Monitors with Subwoofer Line Out: $129.99 (Sold by Edifier Online Store, Shipped by Amazon US) This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

      Appreciate the focus on UI performance, but this is going the wrong way. Instead of optimizing performance, coding to lower latency, etc. this is just throwing horsepower. This is lazy.
