On this episode of Gloves Off Radio, we relive the Blackhawks–Flames game where everyone apparently woke up and chose violence. Three fights — yes, three — as Colton Dach and Joel Farabee kick things off like it’s a pre-planned ballroom brawl, Alex Vlasic and MacKenzie Weegar decide the boards aren’t violent enough, and Nick Foligno and Joel Hanley wrap it up with a “why not?” scuffle. Tune in as we break down the punches, the penalties, and the sheer commitment to poor decision-making that powered Chicago’s 4–0 win. 

In this episode we describe two of the 10 documented fights in the NHL between 10/29 and 11/5 2025. 

"Gloves Off Radio" dives into the gritty, no-holds-barred world of hockey fights and culture of toughness in the rink. Each episode hosted by Dean explores major brawls, the enforcer role, rules around fighting, and the characters who drop the gloves. Expect historic fight breakdowns, and front row seats to the rougher side of hockey.
