Goalies Square Off and One of Them Eats Several Big Punches

The goalie fight never gets old, especially when it's as entertaining as this one. Two goaltenders in Germany's DEL league, the highest level of hockey in that country, decided to square off today, one one of them is definitely going to be hurting tomorrow morning.

To set this one up, Niklas Treutle is the goaltender for the Nuremberg Ice Tigers. He's the one in white. In red is Tobias Ancicka of Kölner Haie. Ancicka is the one likely regretting the fight now as he ate several big punches either right to the face, or the side of the head. To his credit, he didn't go down. Treutle raises his hand, signifying that it's time for the officials to step in.


This is likely the best goaltender fight I've seen this season, although it is a bit one-sided. Here's another angle of the tilt from a spectator's perspective.
