What's better than scoring a goal? Getting into a fight to celebrate that same marker.
During Friday night's AHL matchup between the Stockton Heat and Iowa Wild, Heat forward Hunter Smith managed to score his second goal of the season, and celebrated it by getting into a spirited scrap with Wild forward Curtis Gabriel.
Smith pots his second goal of the season, then after staring Gabriel down, drops the gloves and the two are off to the races.
This game was a chippy affair, but it's not too often you see a player throw down immediately after scoring a goal.
The Heat came away with the victory by a score of 5-1.
Here is the goal and the fight (starts at the :45 second mark):
