Scott NiedermayerAnaheim Ducks defenseman Scott Niedermayer decided to celebrate his team's 4-3 overtime win (in which he scored the game-winning goal) against the Tampa Bay Lightning by giving his stick to a young girl seated in the front row.

Unfortunately, that's when the lower bowl of the Honda Center turned into the thunderdome and fists started to fly. (Video of the incident after the jump.)



As soon as the stick went over the glass the chaos started, and you had to feel for Niedermayer as he stood on the other side, helpless, watching the madness unfold after attempting a nice gesture.

In an interview immediately following the fight, Niedermayer confirmed that the stick was supposed to go to the young girl.
