Today I have a special gift for all five of you dear readers inspired by a wonderful and snow-filled Christmas weekend, which included a Star Wars marathon Christmas day (much thanks, Spike TV) the routing of Russia in Canada's first game of the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship, and the Leafs finally winning a game.
This is the first installment of what will be a weekly (well... we'll see) series honouring the roughest, toughest, and all-around most terrifying players in the league. However, today I am straying from the more stringent definition of "league" to include the ECHL, which is where this week's hands-down winning entry hails from.
DISCLAIMER: To the hypersensitive delicate flowers among you, I do in fact consider entertainment value when selecting a winner. If that offends you, please understand that if entertainment was not part of the criteria, there would be very little keeping me from posting the video of the Phaneuf-Kovalchuk fight from last night and nobody wants to see that.
So without further ado, via Puck Daddy, I give you the very first Baby Eater of the Week: Bobby Goepfert, goalie for the Florida Everblades and two words: GOALIE FIGHT!
For continued enjoyment, follow the link to the original video posted by SwampHockey on YouTube for a full list of the penalties that resulted from these glorious few minutes. Hint: there are a lot.
Merry Christmas!
