Coyotes-Bruins fans battle it out in a wild brawl

The best fight in the NHL on Saturday night took place in the stands, not on the ice.

Specifically, it happened at Mullett Arena on the campus of Arizona State University, the temporary home of the Arizona Coyotes until their new stadium was built. That night, the Yotes were hosting the Boston Bruins in a game that offered no meaning until a Coyotes fan slapped a drink on an approaching Bruins fan and then it was like Donkey Freaking Kong .

The fight had all the makings of a saloon fight in a Hollywood Western, complete with haymakers and a flying tackle. Unfortunately, the brawl also included a woman wearing a Rob Gronkowski jersey taking a direct shot to the head.

Incredibly, KTAR in Arizona reports only one person has been arrested for aggravated assault. Five other fans were cited for disorderly conduct.

Arizona beat the Bruins 4-3.
