I have a major question regarding this goalie fight video between the Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas and the Montreal Canadians’ Carey Price. You can see it below.

How could the television production staff be so prepared to place the “tale of the tape” graph listing the goalie’s size and stats stats before the guys even threw a punch?

BTW, like last week’s NHL goalie fight of the week, this one also ended in a one-punch knockdown with Thomas getting the worst of the exchange.

Maybe both guys backed off after the initial punch since goaltender Rick DiPietro ended on the IR list with facial fractures for four to six weeks after taking the one shot from Penguins goalie Brent Johnson last week.

Here’s a link to the Johnson one-punch fight video here .
