BARNES OUT
Huge OT win for the Oilers.
It'd being discussed in the news thread ss the player involved has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.Not sure if this has made the news elsewhere, but a terrible incident in an Ice Hockey match in England where an American player called Adam Johnson died after being caught in the neck by a skate. The other player has now been charged with manslaughter. I profess to knowing very little about this sport, but it seems it's caused quite a division between fans over whether this was a sporting incident or a serious attempt to injure an opposition player.
It's usually the same penalty if both players drop the gloves, if only one guy drops them, the starts the fight, essentially forcing the other guy to fight, the guy who dropped gloves first will get a match penalty, while the guy that got jumped will get 5 minutes and can (usually) then return. I think anyway, I'm by no means an expert.further to ripper it's also only allowed in the NHL, in Europe they get match penalties and suspensions (and iirc in the NHL both fighters get the same penalty doesn't matter who started it unless it's really blatant assault)
What happens if one guy drops the gloves and the other basically says 'no thanks'? Does that ever happen or is it a bad look?It's usually the same penalty if both players drop the gloves, if only one guy drops them, the starts the fight, essentially forcing the other guy to fight, the guy who dropped gloves first will get a match penalty, while the guy that got jumped will get 5 minutes and can (usually) then return.

Am a semi-avid New York Rangers fan after attending a play-off game back in 2013 (have also been to a Kings and Blackhawks game, also both playoffs).
I just like that it's fast, physical, skilful, violent at times, and the mic'd up stuff is high quality at times as well.
hard to watch on tv though, puck hard to follow, one of those sports that is way better live.
I'm sure it happens, I think in that instance the dude dropping the gloves can get a 2 minute penalty and the guy who ignored it is sent to hockey gulag for the rest of their career.What happens if one guy drops the gloves and the other basically says 'no thanks'?

They do.Lots of action in that first period. Carolina with a 3-1 lead over the Rangers
I thought the Rangers had the best goalie in the league
Yeah this is terrible. Jonny and his brother Mathew, and due to be groomsmen at their sisters wedding.Gaudreau
