It’s been a while since a hockey fight made me laugh out loud but this scrap between Alexander Semin (Washington Capitals) and Marc Staal (New York Rangers) will make you crack up. Staal manages to pull Semin’s jersey and pads off so you’ve got Semin with no sweater on, smacking (yes, smacking – not punching) Staal as he lay on the ice.
Semin got a 10-minute misconduct, an automatic ejection and a 5-minute major for fighting. It really was surprising because I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him in a fight and he played Staal’s back like it was a pair of bongos. Too funny!
holy crap!!! that is ridiculous, I am surprised he didn’t get ejected from the game.
the officiators were probably too busy laughing their asses off LOL!!!!!!!
