Deslauriers and Jeannot take their fight from open ice to boards

NHL on ESPN's Short draws an unusually large audience, with viewers dissecting the punches, jersey grips and officials' timing.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 119,878 views a day, 39 times a normal first day on this channel (3,050).

Deslauriers and Jeannot drop the gloves 🥊

The gloves come off before the opening commentary has finished setting the scene. Nicolas Deslauriers and Tanner Jeannot square up, trade punches in open ice and keep going as their fight shifts toward the glass.

NHL on ESPN's Short, "Deslauriers and Jeannot drop the gloves 🥊", reached roughly 120,000 views in its first day, about forty times the channel's usual start for the format. The comment section grew even more sharply than the views.

Deslauriers, wearing Philadelphia's jersey, loses his helmet during the exchange. Jeannot answers with counterpunches, and when Deslauriers briefly stumbles near the boards, he recovers and resumes. The officials eventually move between them to separate the pair.

"They're still going at it," a commentator says, a line that captures what distinguishes this clip from a quick scuffle followed by an immediate intervention.

The discussion underneath gets into the mechanics: an uppercut, Deslauriers' grip on Jeannot's jersey and how that grip restricts movement. Other viewers focus on the officials' decision to wait before stepping in. Alongside the familiar joke about attending a fight and finding a hockey game, there is a surprisingly detailed ringside conversation.
