He's supposed to keep it quiet....he was fighting a kid 21 years old that already had 3 brawls before him this week. That's not easy.....most enforcers don't tangle that regularly. Yes....he won the fight....but he realizes it's not easy to scrap in the NHL. I'm sure he has taken his lumps.....part of the job.

ATTENTION LEAGUE: Hockey fans want PROPER fights just like this one and not bullsnot suckerpunch scrums where degenerates throw punches to the back of an unsuspecting guy's head before turtling on the ice. The league's acceptance of scrums by not penalizing players engaged in ongoing dishonorable gameplay has created a need for enforcers... it's the league that has one again created a need for enforcers.
