"Why You Heff to be Mad?" is a memorable quote from Russian professional ice hockey goaltender Ilya Bryzagalov, said during a 2006 post-game interview in response to a journalist's question about his Anaheim Ducks teammate Chris Pronger. The quote has become a popular meme and reaction image used to express confusion or amusement at someone's anger.

In 2006, Ilya Bryzagalov, then the goaltender for the NHL's Anaheim Ducks, was interviewed by The Score, a Canadian sports news outlet. When asked about his teammate Chris Pronger, who had joined the Ducks after a controversial departure from the Edmonton Oilers, Bryzagalov responded: "That's a hockey, ya know? It's only game. Why you have to be mad? He's a good guy. He may be tired to live here because here is a November month is a -32. Could you imagine? It's eight months and eight months and a year snow."

The interview clip, featuring Bryzagalov's response in his distinct Russian accent, was uploaded to YouTube by user greyszee on December 18th, 2006. Over the next seven years, the video accumulated over 900,000 views and 1,400 comments.

The phrase "Why you heff to be mad?" gained traction on the internet several years after the original upload. On December 1st, 2007, The Chicago Maroon student newspaper highlighted the video in a blog post titled "Why you have to be mad? It's a hockey." However, the clip remained relatively obscure until June 23rd, 2011, when HF Boards member Mosetter27 posted it in a thread asking for an explanation of Bryzgalov's statements. On November 10th, YouTuber meRyanP reuploaded the clip, gaining over 2.6 million views and 2,600 comments in the next three years. On February 23rd, 2012, YouTuber Emil Axelsson uploaded a video titled "EA Sports, it's only a game!," which featured an animated logo for the video game company EA Sports followed by the Bryzagalov clip. On August 6th, YouTuber tjeaton2405 posted a dubstep remix of the Bryzagalov clip.

On June 12th, Redditor Kablooey88 submitted YouTuber RyanP's upload of the video to the /r/youtubehaiku subreddit, where it gathered upwards of 1,700 upvotes and 25 comments. On September 14th, a Facebook page titled "It's only game, why you heff to be mad?" was launched. The meme has since become a popular reaction image and phrase used to mock those who overreact to trivial matters.
