I grew up in the 70s watching hockey and hardly recognize what the game has become. Fighting should be spontaneous as a means of defending yourself against slashes, cross-checks, or other aggression. These scripted and pre-arranged fights don’t serve any purpose. The best heavyweights in the 70s and 80s could also play.

Reaves is a f'ing goof
Liked how he’s using his left arm to block then sneaks in that punch. Reaves was stunned after that.
That was an intentional eye poke by Deslauriers – he needs a big suspension for that.
great fight
those big blue ads look so bad on the Flyers jerseys
LOL Reaves had all that time to throw free shots… and STILL lost.
Reaves is losing more often…..soon to be a has been
Reaves throw a shoulder out?
Deslauriers is the NHL heavyweight champ undisputed.
Could Ryan Reaves have taken the few below?
– Bob Probert
– Tie Domi
– Joey Kocur
– Terry O'Reilly
that was trash lol they like each other too much
Riveting reporting
If you can hit Reaves once.. your good
D low is in fact the top dog. Olivier is right behind tho.
