Is fighting on the way out of the NHL? If so, will it make the game worse?
It’s not impact the head that causes the problem it’s the fact that your brain swash is inside your skull and when it bangs against the side of your skull apparently that’s not good for it so frankly fighting a lot safer than when they have a collision at 35 miles an hour and your body just stops immediately and your brain keeps going forward and guess what it’s going to be no way to ever take that out of the game unless you just don’t play hockey anymore so why don’t we just all recognize that in life there’s risks and dangerous and if you try to illuminate that then there would be no such thing as race car driving football players hockey players etc.
SOOOOOOO happy to see someone intimidate WILSON!
" Buy you an ice cream after the game? " – Matt Hansen 🤔 or maybe Mark I'll get back to you on that 🏒
Hockey is not the safest sport. Get over it.
It’s refreshing to hear/read positive opinions on fighting and not see people get torn apart by people who are “anti-fighting.” Coming out as pro-fighting in a lot of places online gets you ripped to shreds.
If you remove fighting, you’re going to increase the amount of cheap shots and dirty hits that happen in a game, which is going to lead to even more concussions and serious injuries. Fighting keeps that crap in check
Let's the men Duke it out, it's the most exciting part of hockey.
I just feel like some people are being babies. Hockey is a physical sport and it should stay physical. Do you know how many football people get injured? Do you hear people say we should take tackling off football no you don’t, so those babies shut up.
One solution could be, you get into a fight, you go through concussion protocol. If you have a concussion you sit out, if you don’t you keep playing
why do you talk like 10 dudes just drop gallons of their juice down your throat?
Dude…. this is hockey.. hes an enforcer that loves fighting. Hes bringing the role back
Rempe isn't a problem he's an echo of the past that a lot of us wish was still around – CTE is from CONSTANT hits, football players get hit all day everyday during football season, UFC fighters spar all day. Even rempe fighting 'a lot' isn't anywhere near other sports head hits.
I think you are the problem for the NHL because you don't spend any money on the league.
How do you use seat geek for hozier if tickets are non-transferable?
This rempe kid reminds me of the pitcher from the Dodgers…you know that one dude that will sit there and tell the person at bat what the catcher wants him to throw. Rempe is tall, goofy looking, and is 1 ft 1/2 taller than the majority of enforcers…even towered over Ryan reaves. Now time to fight Wilson Rempe.
Dont forget the lacrosse factor now to
The issue with Rempe isn't his size or physicality it's the blindside hits and elbowing, if he reigns that in a bunch of the controversy around him will die off. Likely much of that is inexperience and over eagerness but the sooner he dials back on the injurious stuff the better.
Millionaires. Athletes are our gladiators of today you earn alot your expected to put your body on the line. Go be doctors or something that helps the world if your not willing to pay the price physically.
If players don't want to fight, they don't have to. Fights in hockey are mutual, both parties agree to fight. So if the players want to fight knowing the risk, let them fight. UFC hasn't become a wrestling league just because of CTE, they know the risk when they sign up for it. And in hockey they can opt out of fighting in games if they so choose.
The only other sport that compares to hockey is lacrosse. They have a long history of fighting as well.
I think a big problem with some of the arguments for pro fights in the NHL, forgets that it's not allowed and thus there are no rules in place for what's allowed and what's not. Take MMA, There are strict rules which has to be allowed and they're (to my knowlegde) enforced.
It can become a slippery slope if it's not enforced more strictly, either for or against fights. IMO.
