I actually laughed out loud when I saw this. Incredibly awesome video. Fight breaks out, a player decides to throw his helmet which causes this guy to come up with the great idea to kick his helmet, but he ultimately just embarrasses himself by wiping out completely. You can see, just before he makes contact, that he is going to wipe out. It’s like a full body pendulum swing. He stays stiff and straight as a board during the fall, and all of him makes contact with the ice at the same time. It’s amazing.

Never have I ever seen someone get up so fast after being so uncoordinated. He is so incredibly embarrassed to the point the only logical thing he can do and think of is to try and chase around this helmet and get a few more little kicks in. The other team isn’t even mad about what just unfolded. They probably told him how stupid he looks and actually felt sorry for him. I don’t think he can play in this league ever again. He will forever be known as the guy who completely buckled himself when trying to kick a bucket. Hope his ego is healed and if not, then it sucks to suck.
