Arizona Coyotes goaltender Darcy Kuemper throws down Matthew

[seestyle]

We may have a new NHL rivalry on our hands, as absolute madne s unfolded between the Arizona Coyotes andCalgary Flames on Saturday.
Goaltender Darcy Kuemper blanked the Flames en route to a 3- Joel Iyiegbuniwe Jersey 0 victory for the Coyotes on Saturday, but that wasn't the biggest part of his night as he made two new enemies in Matthew Tkachuk and David Rittich.
With 12 seconds remaining in the second periodthe Flames went in on the forecheck and saw Jason Demers hit Johnny Gaudreau in the corner.Gaudreau retaliated, hitting Demers from behind, sending the Riley Ridley Jersey Coyotes defenseman down hard to the ice. As he stayed down, Gaudreau hit him again before Tkachuk joined in, sending another shot to the already down Demers.That set Kuemper off, as the 29-year-old came from behind and Roquan Smith Jersey threw down Tkachuk, fed up with the 21-year-old.
COYOTES:
The goaltender's actions saw Tkachuk get up and retaliate, attempting to throw punches at Kuemper, igniting an entire brawl on the ice. Rittich even skated the full length of the ice to get in on the action as Tkachuk pushed Trey Burton Jersey Kuemper down to the ice and continued the fight.

Brady Trettenero (@BradyTrett) As Rittich came in looking to jointhe fight, the referees intercepted and took a bit to sort out the penalties and the list is a doozy.
For Calgary, Gaudreau received two minutes for cro s-checking, while Tkachuk got a four-minute double roughing minor and Rittich a two-minute minor for leaving the crease James Daniels Jersey . As forArizona, Demers headed to the box for two minutes for roughing, while Kuemper received a four-minute double minor for roughing. Thus,only a two-minute power play ensued for the Coyotes at the end of it all.
If the officials had allowed Kuemper and Rittich to go Walter Payton Jersey , it would have been the to engage in fisticuffsthe middle of a bench brawl between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks in 2016 (no punches were thrown, though).
