On the surface, we’ve moved past goalie fights. Hockey is better than that, here in 2021.
Goalie fights? Seriously? It’s 2021 — what kind of Philistine requires a goalie fight to enjoy a hockey game?“It’s old-time hockey,” said Tyson Barrie, who is ready to break his Battle of Alberta maiden this Saturday night on Hockey Night in Canada. “You don’t want to see your ‘tendy squaring up at centre every game, but if it has to happen, it’s got to happen. It went down last year and we’ll see what carries over into this year.
“Definitely one I will remember,” Oilers winger Alex Chiasson said. “I was on the ice when all that went down. To be honest, I think I was on the ice for like, 30 seconds. The ref was on me and someone else was on me. Finally, I got out and I saw Bearsy fighting Tkachuk. Then Smitty and Cam were going at centre ice.You can’t manufacture this stuff. It’s organic, requiring a player like Tkachuk to provide a spark, and an opponent like Zack Kassian to be the accelerant.
Calgary has lost five of their past seven games, and players have questioned their emotional readiness in a few of those games. Cue Tkachuk, who has been nothing short of a gift to a Battle of Alberta that had been dormant for years. “I’ve heard about the intensity, the physicality,” new Oiler Kyle Turris was saying about the Battle. “I’ve watched it for a number of years, and now to have the opportunity to take part in is really exciting.
