We like to watch that happen.
That's what sports are.
It's high-risk / high-reward.
My risk is fighting and getting injured,
but my reward -
I got to play in the NHL.
It's such a fine line between
having that choice and decision
to be made by a grown adult
and having that basically taken away
because people disagree with that.
What is the atmosphere like in an arena
What is the crowd like?
It's electric!
Honestly I think that's
one of the reasons
why people go to hockey games.
You don't see that in baseball.
Maybe a little bit in football.
That's... why I... come...
To enjoy the games.
It's an uproar and it's like hoo-wee!
And I'm like...
Yeah.
I don't know.
I never look at the other people.
I kind of focus on the fight more.
Bonkers!
It gets super exciting.
Oh, yeah. People love it.
That's when the crowd's
gonna pay the most attention
to anything that's goin' on
at any point in time.
Those minute and a half
that everybody's on the edge
everybody in the beer line
turns around and looks.
The old saying, "I came to a fight
and a hockey game broke out...?"
There's two times when the people
stand up in a hockey game.
It's when there's a goal scored
and when there's a fight.
And when there's a fight,
everybody stands up.
One of the most
intriguing emotional moments
in a hockey game
for me, has always been
right before they first engage.
Where it's about to happen
and that tension is built-up
like the ketchup is so
full in that bottle
that, when you finally hit it,
it just sort of explodes.
And the crowd... roars
Outta nowhere...
Just... two players drop the gloves.
Maybe you caught it, maybe you didn't
It doesn't really matter how it started.
If you didn't see it before,
you see where the heads are all pointed.
You look where they're looking -
And you feel this energy that
sort of overtakes you.
It's kind of collective, guttural
sort of, sort of a roar.
Y'know, it's a different...
It's a different sound
coming out of the crowd
than when a goal is scored.
There was this constant noise and
chatter and everything goin' on...
But it elevated to the point
where it was just like...
Oh my God.
Like, I was in the Rocky movie.
Even if they don't want
two people to fight,
they're gonna watch.
It's almost instinctive in us.
It hearkens back to... the schoolyard.
"Hey there's a fight!"
What does everybody do?
Circle.
Whoa! Way to go, baby.
They don't like it at all here!
If there was no response from the fans,
a lot of the intensity of
the fight would sort of - leave.
21,273 people and uh,
and a fight's happening.
You tell me you don't feel it
in the pit of your stomach.
And you tell me there's not...
f***in' hairs...
standin' up on your arm.
I'd say, if not,
check your f***in' pulse.
They're on their feet
as Kane races down the tunnel.
His night is done.
6-3 Panthers in the third.
I'm not sure how I can rationalize
something as emotional
as a hockey fight.
There's, I dunno, What is it?
Monkey-DNA in me, and all of us as well,
which produces this disconnect between
what my head knows
and what my heart feels.
I can't explain it logically.
Because logically, it makes no sense.
It's a sport.
Where does this violence come from?
Why is there such a great disparity
in our attitudes toward violence?
We've gone from tribes of 35 people
to groups of 1.4 billion people.
the more differentiation you get.
And every subculture represents
a different hypothesis,
the way the world works.
There is no denying that,
rightly or wrongly,
you do get an emotional jolt from it.
It may turn into disgust, that's fine.
It may turn into, y'know adoration.
But there is no denying
that something happens to us emotionally
when we're about to see a fight.
There's an element
where you kind of
have to look at whether -
the pugilistic idea
that people are used to
finding a physical outlet
for their emotions
is appealing to people.
In us humans, we don't
to manifest themselves in daily life.
We do not want fights
in major corporations
in the accounting room.
We simply don't want that.
The entertainments are exercises
for the animal instincts within us.
What we can learn about human nature
from the role of the enforcer in hockey
is this sense of an innate
desire to see justice being done
whatever form that might be.
And that's something
we like to see played out
in all society, not just in hockey.
It's conflict.
That's what contact sport is all about.
A hero and a villain,
they're essentially
mirror images of each other
they just have different jerseys on.
And you care about one
more than the other.
If there's not someone hecklin' you,
and telling you 'you suck'
and you, you're a bag of sh*t
and that you're a p*ssy,
then you haven't done your job.
Toronto, like when there'd be Tie Domi,
we'd come in and
It was kinda cool.
Like finally, I grew up a Leaf fan,
and I'm gettin' booed by 'em.
I think that's the beauty of sports
is you can go watch the
pride of your city,
or the pride of your home,
be built up...
in the safety of an $80-a-night seat.
We have taken that instinct
for groups to battle to the death
and we've found an outlet
for those instincts in a whole new way.
It's called "Sports."
massively-organized sports
that only things like television
or radio make possible.
And through sports,
we can exercise those instincts
without killing each other.
But the old instincts are still there.
In violence we find our identity.
In violence we find our unity.
And those who are on
those are our heroes.
And that's something
that's constantly shifting
with the public's attitude.
and what events are
happening at the time.
Fundamental tribalisms.
The tribalism that exists
in your gut and my gut.
Whether we want to
acknowledge it or not,
it is always there.
It is heart and soul and breath of us.
How does "etiquette" come out of
the chaos of hockey?
It's gotta sound so odd and just crazy
to be so... civil when you're,
y'know, being so violent.
They call it "the code."
Everybody knows what it is
but nobody knows what "it" is.
It's basically a kind of list of
informally agreed-upon rules.
You agree that something's been unfair.
You agree that the best way to settle it
is to have a fight.
which that fight will happen.
Wanna go or no?
Want to? OK.
Square up?
OK, good luck man.
The first one that comes to mind is that
y'know, when a player
goes down to the ice,
you try not to punch their head
through the ice.
You never jumped somebody from behind.
You never sucker-punched anybody.
No biting, no eye-gouging.
Simple things like that.
