Tonight the hockey world got to see a good little scrap between two middleweights that can certainly drop them. Troy Brouwer and Brenden Dillion engaged in a fight in the late part of the 1st period in a game between the Washington Capitals and the San Jose Sharks. Now these teams would be considered the farthest thing from rivals as only about 2,846 Miles separate these two clubs.
In this his 2nd fight of the year, Brouwer got the upper hand in the fight after his helmet came loose but then stayed stuck on his arm. He then proceeded to get Dillion to the ground with a flurry of punches, that actually broke off part of the inside padding of his helmet. The end of this fight was initially scary because many thought that Brouwer might have struck Dillion with his helmet, which could potentially have been pretty dangerous, but everyone took a collective sigh of relief as Dillion bounced right back up and skated to the penalty box.

Dillion, in his 4th fight this season, continued a streak of fighting once a month as he has had one fight in every month since November so far this season, looked to have the upper hand early in the fight before being overwhelmed by Brouwer and taken to the ground. The fight broke out after a shot from the point by Alexander Ovechkin, with Dillion taking exception to Brouwer taking a few extra whacks at the Sharks goalie Antti Niemi.

All in all this was a good hockey fight, and we are certainly all glad to see that no one involved suffered any serious damage, as both were able to walk away unscathed. You can watch the fight in the video below.
As always, thank you for visiting and reading.
