Barbaric sport. Should be banned.

So sad. I agree. Even if you don't die like this young man getting repeatedly hit in the head has life consequences. Rest in peace.

Boxers are better than they were a generation ago, but their brains are not. So the same brain is taking more severe punishment. MMA is even worse. Legalized street fighting is not sport.

Might as well ban ice-boxing while you are at it Byco.

It's not as prevalent in recent years.

I would not miss it. Would you? I certainly don't miss participating in it. It's not like "dang, that would have been a better game if there were a few fights."

 

[Polish-Hammer]

I actually meant body-checking (#1 source of concussions and permanent injuries) and not the fighting.

I personally would miss the hell out of fighting.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

I need to find the Artyom Anisimov collection, there is like 5 solid hits on this guy alone that gave him concussions in his first few years in the league.

He's had maybe 1 fight in the NHL when he did that shooting(sniping) celebration.

This is the only borderline dirty hit.

Pretty sure Kronwall killed him as well.


When he got traded to Chicago someone finally taught him to skate with his head up.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Yeah that can be dangerous for sure.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

Keep in mind these guy can skate 30+ km/h (18+ mi/h).

During one of those all-star laps McDavid was clocked at 24 mi/h (40 km/h)

Need to get Larking back in the AS game to against Connor and compare.

 

[Polish-Hammer]

So who got hurt here the hitters or the fighters?

[byco42]

Somehow, it is possible for me to critically discriminate the difference between a savage, open-ice hit and absorbing repeated blows to the head and body for up to 60 minutes from a man trained to deliver them with unusual speed, force, and frequency.

Maybe it's me.

We have boxing, MMA, football and auto racing.

The ancient Romans had gladiators and chariot racing.

Kind of the nature of the beast.

Let’s ban surfing.
