Rockford Icehogs Line Brawl with the Grand Rapids Griffins

On the night that the NHL showcased its opening night of this 2013 NHL season with 13 games the Rockford Icehogs took on the Detroit Redwings affiliate Grand Rapid Griffins and ALL HELL broke loose.

Whoever says pink is for sissies, wasn't at the BMO Harris Center in Rockford last night. The Hogs donned special pink jerseys and tinted the ice pink for their Pink the Rink promotion with the American Cancer Society. Pink was hardly a sissy color for the Hogs Saturday night, as about halfway through the second period an all out bench clearing brawl was set off.

The Hogs and Griffins amassed 202 penalty minutes and 13 players were ejected from the game, including both starting goalies. The best part of this video, which holds a special place in my heart, is watching Carter Hutton beat the piss out of Griffin's goaltender Petr Mrazak. All in all, the Hogs lost in a real nail biter 11-6. The fans to bid on the pink jerseys got a little piece of AHL history with their purchases. Enjoy the carnage:

Biggest Dumb Ass in the NHL for $1000, Alex.

There are a lot of real assclowns in the NHL, and I mean A LOT! But the top of the list has to be Islander Goaltender Rick DiPietro. This guy can't keep himself healthy whatsoever, and I mean WHAT-SO-EVER. If someone looks at him cross, he pulls a groin. His knees are made of pure glass. Knowing this full well, the Islanders baby him like a child and cringe at each and every questionable fall or play. So, tonight, he is losing 3-0 in the late seconds of the game and he purposely steps in the way of league ball bag Matt Cooke, but this isn't the most stupid thing he did. After a scrum ensues from the collision, DiPietro sees Penguins Goalie Brent Johnson drifting towards the Islander. The smart thing to do would be just ignore it and take your 3-0 loss like a man. Not DiPietro. He urges Johnson to come down and fight. They drop their gloves and this happens:




You, my friend, just got THUNDERSTRUCK (to steal that retarded John Scott/Pat Foley announcement). Lets watch that left from Johnson once again, in slow motion.





With all his injury problems, he joins in on this ass hattery. Especially the way he steals that salary from the Isles nightly. YOU SIR, are a complete DUMB ASS, Rick DiPietro!
