When was the last goalie fight

However, the only thing more awesome than a good hockey fight is when opposing goalies drop the gloves. Here are the top 20 goalie fights in the history of the NHL.

The fight itself was not that exciting. However, the energy the teams got and the effect it had on the crowd was monumental. Habs-Bruins games are some of the greatest rivalry games in the league today and watching Price and Thomas go was great for the game.

Adam Mair educates the fans on the correct way to land a game suspension by joining in the action off the bench. Mair takes credit for starting this hilarious slapfest between Potvin and Jani Hurme. Best part? Once the league's lockout ended, Ward and Leighton landed on the same team. Bartender, I'll have a double Jack and Irony please, straight up. Nothing screams "Good Friday" like leaving church and getting into a hockey brawl.

The first spark happened when Nordiques forward Dale Hunter only player in NHL history to score 1, points and record 3, PIMs—cheers slammed into Montreal goaltender Steve Penney, but the brawling started at the end of the second period when the teams headed back to the locker room.

Playoff hockey brings out the competitive spirit like no other form of the game, and that night the Habs won the series and a total of minutes of penalties were given out. In a long, arduous battle, Kiprusoff and Vokoun throw blow after blow for about a minute. Been a while since you've watched a VHS video?

Thought so. But this fight was too good to keep off the list, as were those dreaded Canucks jerseys , perhaps in an effort to applaud the most Hollywood hockey play in the world.

These two clearly have a history judging by the pure energy in the fight. A lot of just holding on to one another, but they manage to stay on their feet the entire time. One of the more memorable moments of the past season was the massive brawl between the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins.

He gets to take on Eric Goddard as well, who comes off the bench to help his goaltender. It looked like a few other Blackhawks wanted a piece of Cloutier, and he would have been happy to oblige, but the linesmen prevented that. The Oilers added two more goals on the night for an eventual win. Talbot said he didn't expect to get thrown out of the game and felt bad that goalie David Rittich, who was pulled earlier, had to come back in net.
