According to these simpletons, Nobody has ever been hurt in a fight. Morons

Play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

Don Cherry … You are an idiot and you have encouraged and contributed to this death.

You ban fighting to protect players brains. 🧠

I am a male and I stopped watching because of the fights and concussions caused by fighting when I was in my 20’s. I refuse to support a sport that looks the other way on CTE.

23:30 bro is delusional: "he never had a concussion", yeah sure, just brain damage by the time they are 25, and drooling at 40.

Loved watching Donald Brashear embarass McSorley. Every time.

The Grim Reaper!!!

Philadelphia flyers were tired of being beat up. That's why they became the broadstreet bullies

Canada the land of no guns. No free speech Excuse me.. sorry banned hate speech. (Free speech)

BOB McCallen is a rich guy looking down his nose at fighting. Ok Bob u pay these guys if u dont like it.

Leave hockey alone. ITS tragic what happened. U gonna ban boxing & MMA??? THEY CAN DIE TOO. WHAT ABOUT DRIVING CARS?? BAN THAT?? U CAN DIE DRIVING

I don't believe I have ever seen Nilan win a fight.

honestly id say that its on the players, if you decide to fight you face the consequences these are grown men were talking about.

One fight where I saw some of McSorely's punches land.

You can get killed walking your dog across the street.

It’s the constant hits while playing the game. I’ve never understood the dirty hits. They can be career or life enders. You don’t have to get knocked out for it to be a concussion.

Fighting is a fundamental part of being human beings. Every country in 2024 was built on the COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF ANOTHER PEOPLE BEFORE THEM. HAS IT NOT??

You're not going to take fighting out of hockey just like you're not going to take punching out of boxing. It's just too much a part of the game.

I don't think Don Cherry knows what " CTE " is?

I can’t believe that man is still defending hitting another player full on in the head with his stick. And that’s from a Boston resident too! Wrong is wrong.

People not involved in playing are definitely the loudest proponent of ending fighting. Those who play and don't like the fighting either don't fight or quit playing. That being said, fighting in hockey for the sake of fighting or to generate ticket sales is awful, and marketing it that way is wrong. Fighting in hockey ideally is done with mutual respect among the combatants, and not done with an intent to cause permanent harm. Feel for anyone that has suffered permanently from playing, but I don't see fighting leaving anytime soon.

I remember a Flyers game when ken linebsman flyers center was brutally crosschecked across the back of the neck into the ice by Ed Hospadar the enforcer for the other team Linesman had the nickname the rat and didn't shy away from poking someone in the side with his stick. My guess was That Linesman had broken one of the unwritten rules so Hospadar did his job as enforcer. This was met by the Flyers who put 5 tough guys on the ice to pic a fight with Hospadar. Mel Bridgeman took the challenge and proceeded to pound the heck out of Hospadar. Bridgeman not known as a fighter was actually a tough guy who was no slouch when it came to fighting but the Flyers had many players just like him, that was probably one of the reasons they were called the Broad street Bullies. Later in New York the Rangers picked up an enforcer from the North Stars who was a very good fighter. He got injured perhaps in a fight but i really don't remember how but that player started using drugs for pain and while out on iR died back in Minnesota while trying to heal from his injuries. The Boogy man Derek Boogard died from the drugs he was using to control the pain and an autopsy showed that his brain was suffering from the blows that he had taken from the many fights that he had fought while earning his living.

Had major fight with one of my best friends we played on different teams.. Didn't change us ws just played on different team's, you jack one my players we need to GO

Neanderthals Anonymous. Not just the hockey players but the idiotic comments below that are so illogical.

So if they decide to take things to the parking lot after the game, without helmets, or anything else, how will their heads bouncing off the concrete help?

boxing but thats whay do

I know Nick, I played on a few teams with him growing up. My hear sank the night he was knocked out. One of the nicest guys you will ever meet. One thing anti fighting people should know. Most fights aren't the heavyweights in the NHL. They are usually on the bench when a fight starts. They need to bring hitting back to every level of hockey. Teach kids right from the start on how to hit properly. I played for 35 years, I was a goalie. Tryouts for junior teams, they told me to fake getting hurt if someone bumped me so a fight would start in a scrimmage to see if a guy was tough enough. I had 1 fight in 35 years, a guy grabbed me, pinned me to the ice. I never fought again. A waste of energy, I had guys to protect me, without fighting more injuries would happen.

goons keep your good players safe. otherwise they get banged up on ice. Don't let the gays ruin hockey too.

Nilan is the man! Habs forever!!❤

Wasnt Mc Sorley basically Gretzky's bodyguard???

Fighting has to be in the Game......the Refs miss too much, and theres too many poorly skilled guys, that cant skate or control their stick. When youre catching elbows, getting run into the boards, or getting hacked in the back of the legs.......and the ref misses it because hes off following the puck. You warn the other guy once.....after that .... Start puttin' on the Foil and start Swinging.

“Gretz” by David Foster

Does anyone know the name of the song at the end of this video!?

Gretzky used snitch and tell like Lebron does now.

Hockey fighting is an unanswerable question. Personally, I hate the fights that take place for no reason. Only because two guys agree "to go" and wait for the Puck to drop, like a choreographed script. The best argument against fighting is that it has done nothing to curtail the illegal, violent hits that take place in the game. The most honest commentary came from Nick Kypreos-thank you Nick.. Why didn't someone ask Cerry why all of the cheap shots that injure players, and violent hits that can end careers stop because of the presence of fighting?

20:48 Jim's are such beauties

I definitely agree that cheap shots are more dangerous than a fair fight.

Joey couldn't get his uniform unhooked and thus ate knuckles.

If you never played hockey you shouldn’t have an opinion on fighting

As informative as this program was it skated over one huge fact. Fanny's in the seats. ESPEN TV money. The NHL even has its own broadcast network now and not a word from the commish about the money that fighting attracts. Why not eliminate fighting completely and see how it affects the NHL bottom line? Increase the rink size to the European ice? More open ice transition skating? More room behind the net? Maybe even have the Stanley Cup up for grabs with Europe? The NHL is the greatest organized hockey league in the world, but it doesn't necessarily have the best players. Fighting is not encouraged there and the game is great to watch..

In my opinion fighting and the lack of serious rules against cheap shots is why many hockey fans only watch the highlights.

IAM A FORMER ICE HOCKEY PLAYER, AND THE CODE OF THE ENFORCER IS PART OF HOCKEY ! NO ANDS IFS OR BUTS FIGHTING IS PART OF HOCKEY! DEAL WITH IT ! ITS PART OF THE SPORT I LOVE TO THIS DAY!

I would much rather stand face to face with a fighter than a BACKSTABBER

Anyone remember Bogarde tough mother Fker look what happened to him in the end..

This Goon song says it all…🏒🇨🇦👊 czcams.com/video/9KZpuOxadWs/video.htmlsi=wxgTJzFXmUSVB1N-

Fights have been in hockey for a long time. Recently worse outcomes have come to pass with incredibly reckless and outrageous cheap hits/maneuvers.

Kyper was a warrior and will always be respected for his play!
