I’m not a hockey fan, so don’t know anything about the players or even team names. But i just saw i trending. Maybe these 2 teams are rivals, but im wondering why the refs are allowing them to fight. Unlike the NBA, refs always get into the middle to stop any punches but NHL is different. Its not cool for kids to watch, but I’m entertained LOL

    One thing that I didn’t see mentioned is that, unlike in other sports, the players are on ice. This makes it much more difficult to throw punches, and players can usually go back and forth without getting seriously injured.
