Stay classy NY!

Today's annual charity hockey game between the FDNY and NYPD devolved into a full-out brawl at Nassau Coliseum with the score tied at three. Cops and firefighters were beating the crap out of each other.

Lots of videos at the linked article. :r

Funny how you post this as exhibiting a lack of class, going across a continent instead of just up the coast to Isla Vista and its riots. Oh well.

Still, seems like a pretty typical hockey game to me. :r

I've been in fights at police V, fire charity games. Just because you are playing for a good cause doesn't mean it turns into a badminton game. ;) :lr

First to fight gives a whole new meaning to "First Responder"

That was out of control, someone should have called the cops...oh, uh, nevermind.

If they'd been allowed to carry concealed on the ice, there would have been no violence. I read that on the interwebby.

IBTL, perhaps just barely. :tu

Looks like the Devils/Rangers games I use to go to.

You should see their annual football games as well, NY's Finest vs. NY's Bravest, which is the same as their hockey game. Damn I miss home now.

Oh, IBTL

[maninblack]

It's hockey. Big deal. Makes things more interesting.

Can I nominate this for post of the decade? It's hilarious coming from an admin. :r

I dunno, New Yorkers seem to have only two moods; grumpy and pissed-off.:D

I think they were trying to sell more tickets for next year's game :)

[Subvet642]

Suck it, Darren!!





:D

However, when I took a look at the video, I didn't see much actual fighting; just a lot of touching and hugging and stuff. I shouldn't laugh, somebody could have broken a nail. If you look closely enough, you can see one guy re-applying his lipstick.:lr

Really, Darren? The clip I watched had a couple pretty impressive tilts. :bx

Sure, a couple but I was expecting some sort of huge melee.
