It doesn't just happen in the NHL
Johnny English:
The second video is fairly damning and there's no doubt that the guy should be suspended for a while, but the elbow that started it all was unnecessary and should have been penalised - had it have been, then you probably wouldn't have had the follow up.

I still think the game would be better off without the idiots.

Its got a lot better over the years in fact, same as the OHL. It used to be a gong show. Players like this, and Gillies, Cooke etc serve no purpose to the game of hockey. Hell, I love a good emotional fight when the intensity is up etc, but I am not in favor of the "staged" fights between two meat heads who cant skate, and shin kickers that get away with cheap shots night in and night out. Lose these two styles of players and the game will be much better off. Just dont take away this big open iced hits and the odd bout.

I agree and the 1st clip of the goalie injury looks like a hockey play. The video was too crappy to really get a good enough view to judge it.

I don't know about hockey play. By looking at the other video's it kind of looks like they were gunning for him.
