There’s always been fighting in hockey; it just usually takes place on the rink.
During a game between the Arizona Coyotes and Boston Bruins on Saturday, the fans took it upon themselves to engage in an all-out brawl to the tune of “Howlin’ for You” by The Black Keys blasting throughout Mullett Arena in Tempe.
The slobber knocker included a Coyotes fan slapping a drink toward an oncoming Bruins fan just five seconds in. Unfortunately, the same Coyotes fan seemed to punch and daze a woman in a Rob Gronkowski T-shirt, who luckily got up quickly afterwards.

Multiple cops came over to separate the melee soon thereafter, attempting to minimize the already done damage.
According to a report from KTAR News, one person was arrested for aggravated assault as a result of the incident. The same report indicates that five others were cited for disorderly conduct. No names tied to the encounter have yet been released.
The Coyotes are playing in the 5,000-seat Arizona State arena for three years until they get a new NHL arena. Arizona won the game, 4-3.
