Video: Nazem Kadri Ripped Out Part of Joe Thornton’s Beard During Hockey Fight

Here’s the thing about fights, anything can happen. Joe Thorton had to find that out the hard way.

Things got chippy between the Sharks and Maple Leafs in Toronto on Thursday, and then they turned hairy.

Centers Nazem Kadri and Joe Thornton got themselves kicked out of the opening draw and brought their beef along with them outside the faceoff circle and over to the wing. As soon as the puck dropped, so too did their gloves.
