We’re just a shade over a week away from Christmas Day<\/a>, and we’ve got a couple of NHL<\/a> teams getting in the holiday mood with one of the greatest hockey fight\/music juxtapositions of all time.<\/p>\n

The Boston Bruins<\/a> hosted the Utah Mammoth on Tuesday night, and they didn’t give them much of a friendly Christmas welcome to Beantown. Instead, they waxed the floor with them, winning the game 4-1, and keeping the B’s within a point of the Atlantic Division lead.<\/p>\n

No way anyone saw that coming, by the way. The Bruins looked like they were going to need a rebuild after last season. Now we’re two weeks from New Year’s Eve, and they’re fighting for the top spot.<\/p>\n

Wild.<\/p>\n

Anyway, even though it was all Bruins, the Mammoth<\/a> did not go down without a fight, and I mean that literally.<\/p>\n

Things got very heated at one point, and did so to the sounds of Jos\u00e9 Feliciano’s “Feliz Navidad.”<\/p>\n

I haven’t seen a juxtaposition this great since the late, great Michael Madsen sang “Stuck in the Middle with You,” By Stealers Wheel, into a severed ear.<\/p>\n

I half expected to see a card that read “Directed by Quentin Tarantino” at the end of that clip.<\/p>\n

He’s the king of ironic music selection.<\/p>\n

Hats off to the Bruins game night staff who had that tune cued up for that moment. Makes you wonder if it was intentional. I could kind of see that going into the “Fight\/Scuffle” playlist along with classics like Carl Douglas’ “Kung Fu Fighting” and Stompin’ Tom Connors’ “The Hockey Song.”<\/p>\n

That scuffle came at the very end of the game and led to a handful of penalties, including three ten-minute misconducts for Utah’s Liam O’Brien and Sean Durzi, as well as Boston’s Alex Steeves.<\/p>\n

If you’re a Utah fan, you like to see that kind of fight\u2026 it just would’ve been nice to see it a bit earlier in the game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"That’s the most festive brawl since your office Christmas party got out of hand PublishedDecember 17, 2025 6:40…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":355373,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-355372","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-nhl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355372","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=355372"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/355372\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/355373"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=355372"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=355372"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=355372"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
