Steve Olesky picks a fight with a Phantom, breaks his hand, loses a piece of his ear! (VIDEO)

It's certainly not easy being a tough guy in the sport of hockey, but Steve Olesky learned that lesson so hard  that you can't help but feel sorry for the guy. Olesky who's part of the Washington Capitals organization dropped the gloves with Brandon Manning who is a member of the Flyers organization and it turned out quite badly for Olesky. The two men went back and forth during the fight, but only one of them had his helmet, that resulted in Olesky breaking his hand on the helmet of Manning as well as one of Manning's punches taking a piece off of Olesky's ear. You can see the fight video below, and images of the injuries below that, be warned though the images are brutal.
