WATCH: Ex-NHL Player Gets Attacked by Golfer and Promptly Beats Him Up in Wild Video

Nick Tarnasky, a retired NHL player, made quick work of a man who attacked him following a verbal spat while the two were out golfing.
The video was shared online Monday by the X/Twitter account @NUCLRGOLF. It began with a shot of a man on the green at a golf course. Suddenly, Tarnasky — who was off-screen — yelled to him, “You’ve been sitting there for fucking 23 minutes!”
“Cry about it!” the on-screen golfer responded. “Fucking cry about it!”
Tarnasky fired back with “I’m gonna fucking cry about it!” Things escalated even further when the golfer then said, “You fucking pussy!”
As the golfer began walking toward Tarnasky, the retired hockey player tried to issue a warning.
“Buddy,” he said. “You’re gonna get fucking shit-kicked.”
Unfazed, the golfer said, “Let’s fucking go,” as he threw his glasses to the ground before charging Tarnasky seconds later. Tarnasky quickly threw the golfer down on the edge of a nearby pond.
The golfer, however, wasn’t done. When he got up and tried charging Tarnasky again, Tarnasky grabbed his collar with one hand and punched him twice in the face with the other. Coincidentally, Tarnasky was an enforcer during his playing days — meaning he often fought exactly like that on the ice.
Again, the man got up and tried to continue fighting, and again, Tarnasky punched him multiple times and sent him to the ground.
Before the video ended, the man got up a third time. That time, Tarnasky simply grabbed him and threw him to the ground.
When the video was first posted, it wasn’t immediately known who was involved in the video. He was later identified in a story published Tuesday by Barstool Sports.
