The Best Part Of The Tom Wilson Fight Was What Happened In The Crowd Behind Them

Amazing. In one corner you have hockey dad, lifting his kid up, banging on the glass, grinning ear to ear

And then in the other corner you have hockey mom, covering her kid’s eyes, wishing it would end

C’mon hockey mom! You’re trying to raise a hockey player who will one day pay off your house! Maybe she wants him more worried about stickwork and finesse than throwing fists, but it’s all part of the game, hockey mom.

I love how concerned her face is, like her worst nightmare is happening in front of her. But hey, can’t shield your kid from fights forever. When the mitts are dropped, the mitts are dropped. That’s hockey.
