They're usually a result of players sticking up for their teammates and expressing their intense passion for the game. However, it's important to stress that in real life, conflicts should be resolved in a peaceful manner. Lastly, the rules of the game are there to keep the players safe and any breaches, like fighting, are penalized.

Has any team ever went 16-0 in the NHL playoffs?
In my recent research on NHL playoff history, I discovered that no team has ever achieved a perfect 16-0 record in the playoffs. The closest any team has come to this flawless run was the 1988 Edmonton Oilers, who finished with a 16-2 record, winning their fourth Stanley Cup. Since then, teams have come close but haven't been able to replicate that success. It's fascinating to see how competitive the NHL playoffs are, as achieving a perfect record seems nearly impossible. It'll be exciting to see if any team can ever break this record in the future!
