willowdove:legotheeggo:trees-and-videogames:animentality:itsacpsideblog:ilyagoalvalchuk:nellyemily:I like how everybody is paired off haha#this looks more like an awkward sixth grade slow dance than it does hockeyI FINALLY FOUND OUT WHY THIS HAPPENS. You see this all the time when there’s a fight or a scrum and suddenly everyone pairs up with a member of the opposite team and they just sort of …hold each other.Someone on reddit asked about it. And it turns out there’s a logical-ish reason:all of the other players pair off with their man to prevent anyone else entering into the fight … so it’s a form of self policing. […] The players basically want to prevent 2 on 1, etc. fights and by finding a “hugging” partner so there’s no ganging up on one guy, even on accident. They do it because it’s fair. And it’s kind of cute sometimes.so now we know! it’s fair…and cute.Aw best part is no ones left out at this danceNo wonder Canadians love this sport -- source link
