Anaheim Ducks Fans Fight For Scott Niedermayer's Hockey Stick (VIDEO)

First Posted: 3/18/10 Updated: 5/25/11

After scoring a game-winning goal in overtime against the Tampa Bay Lightning last night, Anaheim Ducks captain Scott Niedermayer skated towards some fans and tried to give his stick to a girl in the stands. He may have overestimated the home crowd, however, as his gesture was met by a swarm of aggressive fans fighting for the stick. Within seconds spectators began punching each other in a furious effort to claim the souvenir. In an interview afterward, Niedermayer said the stick was "for a little girl," which did not seem to stop bystanders from battling for it.
