NHL fans were so upset officials stopped a goalie fight between Marc-Andre Fleury and Jordan Binnington

By now, most hockey fans understand Jordan Binnington’s capacity to act like a child. In fact, the St. Louis Blues goalie is probably the most infamous for throwing a water bottle at Nazem Kadri during last year’s playoffs.

So when Binnington started a goalie fight with the Minnesota Wild’s Marc-Andre Fleury Wednesday, folks naturally wanted Fleury to beat Binnington up.

Plus, a goalie fight — awesome!

1. Who doesn’t want to see that?

2. How often do we actually get to see a goalie fight?

The answer is the officials at the game, who stopped Binnington and Fleury before they really revved up their fisticuffs. And … c’mon!

Ugh, we were robbed of some genuinely glorious goalie fight action. There’s no other way to slice. At least in Fleury’s case, his Wild got the last laugh in an 8-5 win where Binnington surrendered five goals.
