    Jim Vandermeer v Aaron Downey going toe-to-toe in the United Center in Chicago.

    Neither one of these guys were ever the same after this fight.

    My personal favourite, all happened over the course of 20 mins in the third period too.

    Enjoy!

    They tend not to do that much damage though between the padding and trying to stay upright on the skates.

    They don't hit the padding, the punch in the face.

    lol fair enough, I think the helmets got in the way a few times though. Plus as the commentators mentioned the padding can get in the way of using your full force. Don't get me wrong I respect any sport willing to hold onto its rough and ready origins in that way, and allows guys to tell the refs they aren't finished boxing the heads off one another.

    At the end of the day, all sport is is about getting one over on another man - being the alpha male. Hockey partially skips the bull and gets straight down to business!
