Make sure you gays watch the game. Doubt there will be any fights though... nobody from philly is that stupid.

havent heard of em before, but when i read about boogard from the rangers who died from OD recently and read about how fucked up they all get, i actually thought hockey should disallow it. even though, they cant really land any power shots with such unstable base (usually they just do light whomp whomp whomps which might lead to a bloody but almost never a broken nose or jaw, and someone slips or gets pushed over), theyre big and strong enough to pound more than what could be considered healthy in there, the brain damage they all receive is actually really fked up

Disallowing fighting would be fucking retarded. If someone is fucking with your star players and taking runs at them, you want them to hide behind the ref?


Look at people from boxing and football too. Should we ban boxing?

No, but you should do a bit of reading into the brain damage the hockey fighters receive, before trying to argue in support of it


And yes, actually, I would be in support of banning boxing, not only is it stupid and unlike real fighting (MMA is a lot more similar) , it is horribly unhealthy and leads to brain damage quite a bit also. Combination of the gloves padding the blows but still rocking the brain, and the standing 8 or 10 count, make it very unhealthy.

They get it from concussions, which are caused by checks and hitting the ice/boards more than anything. Sure sometimes fights cause it, but its the minority.


You can get brain damage from anything, maybe we should put a helmet on you 24/7.


Now I know you're a fucking idiot. You're a new age MMA fagout walking around in tapout shirts who likes watching guys roll on each other for 30 minutes.

Trust me I dont need it, but if i ever met you in real life, based on the way you talk you'd probably be wearing one and eating from a straw for the rest of yours.


And no, you don't know anything about me, I've been following real fighters like Oyama and training since I was a preteen. I dont wear tapout and I think UFC is the worst form of MMA, the rules are stupid and favor wrestlers so they can get a bigger american fanbase, when most of that shit really just doesnt work.


Yes, you are correct that some people argue it isn't from the fights, its from checks, but if you look the past cases and the brains they examined of fighters who either went on murder sprees, killed themselves and sometimes their families, or became very very messed up at a young age, they are all enforcers. Coincidence? I dont think so. How many regular position players end up like that? Theres your answer.


Besides - like i said - the 'fights' are really fucking stupid.

This pencilneck faggot knows nothing about hockey. You don't get concussions in hockey from fighting bro. What a goddamn joke.

another big talker without any facts.. want to fight irl? we will see who is the 'pencilneck faggot'


i actually used to play hockey, roller though, when i was a kid up until around high school, and i watch it all the time. go read something before spouting off like a dumbass. and if any of you bitches who try call me names want to fight, keep in mind that i have a standing offer that i will give a free ass kicking to anyone who tries to call me names on here. come get some badass.


btw, i do not want to imply that wrestling is not effective in real fighting. only high school style/collegiate is, but the rules i am referring to in UFC give them a clear advantage. greco roman is extremely legit. the other olympic style is kindof mostly bs too. judo and sambo are a lot better than all of the above though.


before some high school/collegiate wrestlers get super mad too, i used to wrestle too, but its not my fave

If you watch hockey so much, you would know the bulk of concussions come from non fights. Maybe they can all play roller hockey on foam. Thatd be awesome.

if you read any of the research done on the brain damage ENFORCERS (read - specifically enforcers - not hockey players) recieve, you would know the EXPERTS (read - doctors, not dumbass, random sports fans) speculate it might have something to do with the majority of them also abusing pill drugs


facts are facts


opinions ... well...
