Henrik Eriksson Punched By Alen Bibic: Swedish Teams Mora IK, Leksand Fight After Goal (VIDEO)

One of the keys to the game of hockey is to always be aware of your surroundings... even after you score.

During a Swedish hockey league game between Mora IK and Leksand, Henrik Eriksson of Mora got a little bit too excited after scoring a goal to give his team a 2-1 lead. After deflecting the puck into the net, Eriksson went into full celebration mode, hugging the player nearest to him, who just so happened to be Alen Bibic of Leksand. Bibic, as you could imagine, took exception to the display, giving Eriksson a quick punch to the face.

This hardly ruined the mood for Eriksson however, who, still smiling, skated a little farther to celebrate with players who wouldn't punch him in the face.

Eriksson's Mora squad would ultimately lose the game 3-2, making us believe he stopped smiling at some point.

only in hockey can a guy get punched and skate away laughing.

if that were soccer... there would have been a stretcher, an ambulance, three players on their backs writhing in pain and red cards all around.

This is why there is so much violence in society. the man assaulted the other man with a weapon on his hand a hockey glove is deadly. He should have been arrested on the spot.

Thats just completely unsportsman like conduct. People like that really shouldnt even be allowed to play. What did the guy hurt by hugging him? He didnt hug him back and could have just backed away and skated in the opposite direction. What a butt.
