  1. If you fight with hands open… there hopping for a scratch or an eye, and if I ends up in someone’s mouth… FAIR GAME! Otherwise drop your gloves and helmet…. Let go!🎃

  2. Is this what the NHL has become ? Why dont they just fight.. i blame the linesmen !

  3. There should be severe consequences for biting a player's hands or fingers because you could easily cause permanent damage to nerves or finger joints and handicap a player's ability to grip the stick affecting their performance and costing their career or earnings.

  4. sorry did i miss the part where you discuss Lemieux biting Tkachuk? lol

  5. There are two sides for any story, and the video evidence is not entirely clear. When you punch a guy in the face and his mouth is open, you're gonna contact teeth, so there is an opening for plausible deniability here. I wonder if the linesman saw it more clearly. This kind of fighting while rolling around on the ice is low class on both sides, they clearly hate each other.

  6. No biting when you fought Larry McNabb back in the day! Just a good, honest scrap with two tough guys!

  7. They knew right when it happened and they said it, he is getting suspended. Lemieux has an in person hearing tomorrow. So clearly, yes he is. The guy is a great edgy hockey player and I love his style of play. He is a great fighter when he needs to be, but this is some Marchand type shit.

  8. Linesman are all too eager to break up fights these days. Players will take liberties in other ways. ie. biting lol

  9. There’s a small list of players I don’t mind being on the wrong end of something out of line. Brady Tkachuk is absolutely one of them. It’s pretty funny actually and he more than deserves it. However with covid these days it should be something more substantial. Along the lines of trying to give him rabies. Lol

  10. lemieux broke the unwriten rule, you do NOT hit a man once you are down ever.trash player then bites him like wth

  11. Not surprised players bet hazed in whl, blackhawks cover up sex abuse allegation so nothing surprises me in nhl. Wont be surprised if someone end up try to real hurt a player.

  12. His dad's nickname was the snapping turtle apparently that was talked about they said his dad was a snapping turtle too I knew it was inside him as well that was from McCarthy who played for Detroit during the era of Christopher Osgood who belongs in the Hall of Fame and the days of Chelios

  13. Not that anyone cares for the truth anymore, but maybe ask Brendan WHY he bit him. Does his side of the story matter? He was getting his eyes gouged and his hands were tied up so it was his only defense to save his eyes. It’s never about how a fight is started, but rather about whoever ended it by responding. Lord, it’s hockey. You might get bit. You might get an ear sliced off with a skate. You most likely will get your teeth knocked out and suffer a billion concussions. Maybe try chess if you can’t handle it? Good Lord. If I didn’t want to see someone get hit (or bit), I’d go to a tennis tournament. They get paid for both and I pay to watch it. It’s hockey.
