For those who don't know who this is, it's Andrei Nazarov.

He's not small by any stretch of the imagination.  He was listed at 6.05 and 230 lbs.  That's a lot of tough-guy.

hi, is there any one remember 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.

OK, no spam links in here, but this incident didn't happen last night, more like about two seasons ago.
