He definitely looks used to seeing that. Just another day at the office for those Flyers teams.

Back when hockey was a good fight waiting to happen

How freaking tall was this man he looks so tiny compared to that net… and after googling apparently he was 5’10.. The net is massive compared to him.

I was a goalie for 16 years growing up. How the hell did he manage this without tipping the net over?

I love how low the glass is

Love it. I’ve seen him play many times. Use to love when Flyers played Blues. Always a brawl.

A lot of photographers are probably trying to get shots of the fight at this moment. Nice decision by this one.

Puts into perspective how enormous goalies are nowadays.
Favell is 5’10” and while Saros is 5’11” the average is much taller at 6’3” and then there are guys like Markstrom at 6’6”.
Almost a full foot taller.

Those nets were fucking sturdy. Get hit into one and you might end your career.

Ah, back when you’d go to a fight and a hockey game would break out. Good times, wish I could have seen them in person.

Went to an AHL NB Hawks game I think it was 79 or 80 and a massive brawl broke out. I had standing room at the corner right up at the glass. They were punching each other right in front of me. No helmets then either. Crazy.

Look how low that glass is 3rd row behind the goaler is a death sentence

Lol. I can see the thought bubble. “Don’t look at me man, I just work here”

I know messing with a goalie is a good way to catch hands but do they typically avoid fighting?
