The fights aren't always just for the guys on the ice at hockey games. Some people in Nashville found this out on Tuesday night in their team's shootout win over the Sharks.

In the third period, things got a bit unruly when one Sharks fan got out of his seat, marched down a few flights of stairs and took a swing at a Predators fan, a real haymaker. He put so much force behind the punch and missed that he tumbled down the stairs toward the ice.

Fighting at a hockey game is a bad/stupid/horrible/criminal idea. Fighting at a hockey game on the stairs defies stupidity. It's downright reckless.

While you can't see a ton from the video other than the missed swing and the Sharks fan flying down the stairs and then coming back up in the arms of his security escorts -- what goes down, must come up, right? -- there's quite the description from the guys at On The Forecheck, a Predators blog.

That punch wasn't even in it the target's time zone. WHIFF.

Bay Area fans are a bunch of 'hot heads'. I know this to be true. I'm one of them.

But I do agree, that wasn't even close.

Hope that fan learned his lesson.

Go Sharks.

The real fan fights were back in the 'Chuck Norris' division days between the Blues and Hawk fans. Every game there was fights in the stands at the old Arena and I'm not talking about sloppy ass fights like this one.Full out brawls. Seems like it was more tolerated back then compared to the politically correct times of today. Back then, they threw you out. Now you get an assault and battery charge. I miss the old days.....

What I find appalling is that people are cheering. Have some decency. Save fighting for professionals . :59 "I got that on video"... He should be so proud of himself.
