I’ve seen bigger brawls haha 🤣 this ain’t a huge brawl!!! 😂
And it wasn’t cheap, he had the puck learn to keep your head up
Scumbag that’s why he’s in the minors
no suspension to xhekaj?
LOL florian get outta there
That has to be the longest fight in the history of hockey!
27 white, leaving the bench to get a non-paid vacation until the new year. That was the dumbest move of this video.
Pezzetta must have some hard feelings towards his old club.
Why doesn't Laval wear their dark jerseys at home, like most NHL teams do?
Should be 10.
Florian gassed out after 30 secs and tried for the take down. what a wimp
If hockey policed itself, there wouldnt be cheap shots.
Just kids with anger issues, drug problems, and a stick.
Absolute shit show, bush league bullshit from Laval.
Eddie Shore!!
I think the Leafs just found their starting five for Tuesday night at least these Marlies had some life in them.
💙
I dont understand why Laval players would get off the bench with one even starting stuff with the guy that just got done fighting. Leaving the bench like that is the quickest way to get an automatic suspension
Um the cheap shot was after the fight by the Laval player who came off the bench. Then there were several more cheap shots from the Laval bench. Marlins should have cleared the bench!
It wasn’t a head shot. He may not have seen him coming but principle contact was the shoulder. Pezetta immediately responded to the bell and that should have ended it. But you get cowards from Laval jumping the bench after a guy has already fought. I hope they get 10 plus games for all who left the bench.
1:30 any supplemental discipline for 10,19&27 for leaving the bench?
#22 needs a lengthy suspension for coming off the bench
Pezzeta 💩
That’s called a check … ?
I can’t believe no one on the blue team didn’t leave their bench to at least even things up.
Clean hit, Moron. Even the guy he hit said it was clean.
My shqipe Xhekaj🇦🇱
The wifi bro did a good job of exacting some vengeance. But what a dipshit play by the Toronto guy – just the kind of clown the Leafs would like.
..Its too bad the baby leafs are tougher and meaner then mama leafs…🙄..
AHL is better than the NHL most nights. Laval is picking up at least 3 or 4 suspensions in that fight after the hit. How were they able to get 8 or 9 guys onto the ice during a fight. Tge hit wasn't good, it's charging for starters. He almost got the shoulder but definitely got the head.
Nobody even got at #27 throughout that whole scrum!
Did they end the game early?
Power play ending, teammates do not warn you of the incoming player (regardless of a hit or a potential steal), shoulder to shoulder… Pazetta does what he does..
I blame the Rockies..
They may have come after the hit, but why no preemptive warning?
Come on..
Hits and legal body checks fine.. but others should come with automatic suspensions and fines. What this was I don't know I don't follow hockey anymorw.
Laval has an issue of jumping in, kinda like jackass' big brother. Soon they both will be in laval
This why Hockey is the GREATEST Game in the world! 🏒🏒🏒
clean hit, guys a pssy
The Loafs got Pezzetta from Montreal to replace their other goon Reaves who went to San Jose.
In the end, did Laval have 8 skaters on the ice for that line brawl?
I'm a Leafs fan, but that was a shitty hit.
