I first misread the headline as “Amazon” hocky game and thought, “shit, these billionaires really are going full on Goblin mode.”

The Coyotes are playing in the ASU arena, so there are approximately 5,000 spectators at any game. Maybe the larger venues help to keep drunken spectators diluted?

I understand the venue is named Mullett Arena. Explains a lot.

Old hat. This sort of thing was going on over 75 years ago in a Goofy cartoon.

Not content with just blood on the ice, one spectator let their inner animal loose with dramatic results…

I am more interested now in the pic that went with this, as at 1st i thought that was the fight and saw the gloves and thought it was a planned thing, but now i want to know what was going on there?

There was a credit for the photo at the bottom of the article right before the comments link.

Russia. Moscow. Red Square. February 26, 2017. a mass fight of hooligans and fans

Apparently it’s some sort of tradition at the Maslenitsa festival. This is from a few years earlier but you can see the same type of gloves.

Thanks for giving me something to do while I wait for my wife to finish putting away a stack of Amazon packages that I can’t see.

Are we sure that the hockey game came first, and then a fight broke out?
