Two women at center of huge brawl in stands during Avalanche-Wild game (VIDEO)

All hell broke loose after a woman slapped another woman during an argument in the stands during the Avalanche-Wild game last weekend.



A few rowdy fans had to be escorted out of the Pepsi Center another woman punched an Avalanche fan in the back of the head.

WARNING: Videos have naughty language.



There’s a point at which you actually see a guy in an Avalanche jersey reaching to choke the blonde woman in the leather jacket, though it’s hard to actually see what’s going down amid the chaos but, from another angle, you can actually see this woman take a swing at the dude's head.



Who wants to bet alcohol was involved?

Maple Leafs' Daniel Winnik knocked out by nasty hit from Jan Hejda (VIDEO)

There was a scary moment Thursday night after Toronto Maple Leafs center Daniel Winnik was knocked out cold after taking a hit by Colorado Avalanche defenseman Jan Hejda during the first period of an NHL game at Denver's Pepsi Center.



Winnik — who landed awkwardly on his head after the routine check — appeared to be unconscious as a team doctor scrambled out onto the ice.




After a few tense moments, Winnik was stretchered off the ice in front of the silent crowd.



Later, the team tweeted that he was alert and moving.

Wild fans distract Semyon Varlamov with mugshot, prison jumpsuit photos

Semyon Varlamov was nominated for the Vezina Trophy on Monday morning in what had to be the shining moment so far this 2013-14 season.

But at a bleak point back in October, the Colorado Avalanche goaltender was arrested on domestic violence charges. 

Those charges were later dropped, but certainly not forgotten — at least by Minnesota Wild fans. And with the Avalanche in Minnesota for Game 6, the fans near the glass behind Varlamov decide to shake up the netminder with photos of his mugshot and the photo from his court appearance after spending the night in jail.




If Varlamov was rattled by the ploy, he didn't really show it — but it might have done enough.

The Wild tacked on two empty-net goals for a 5-2 victory that sent the first-round playoff series to a decisive Game 7.

McGrattan and Bordeleau go at it in 'full-time, stand-up' NHL brawl

The Calgary Flames brought Brian McGrattan over as an enforcer "type" and Patrick Bordeleau found out why. The Colorado Avalanche skater and Flames defenseman went at it in what one of the startled announcers called a "full-time, stand-up hockey brawl."


You don't see many hockey fights with the intensity of this one and, after the two went shot for shot for about thirty seconds, they were escorted to their respective boxes as spent as dollar bills in a Toronto strip joint.

The best part may be the announcers' spirited call of the bout.




Most of these shots by each skater connected, so let's call this a draw.
