Nick Tarnasky has been retired for quite some time, but he went insanely viral over a fight on a golf course.

The former Florida Panthers player was involved in a viral physical altercation on a Canadian golf course over the weekend.

The former NHL enforcer was golfing at Alberta Springs Golf Course in Red Deer, Alberta, when he and another golfer got into a war of words. The other golfer, who appeared to be intoxicated, clearly had no idea who he was messing with, but he found out one fist at a time.

Nick Tarnasky and his golfing partner appeared to be frustrated with the other man over how slowly they were playing through the course. The retired NHL star repeatedly told the man to stop taking so long to tee up, but things quickly became physical.

“He’s been sitting there for [expletive] 23 minutes,” Nick Tarnasky yelled.

“Cry about it!” the man yelled back at him.


Then, the unidentified man charged at Tarnasky and promptly got thrown into a pond.

After the man got back up, he went back toward Nick Tarnasky, who started swinging several punches at the man. He hilariously yelled “bang” with every connected punch.

Now, the man who got beaten up is self-identifying himself.
