I just love how hockey commentators become boxing commentators when a fight breaks out and the refs just let it happen, I don't know anything about hockey culture but I love it already

Kane KO'ing Cooke is still the best thing he's ever done

My mother used to abhor violence but when two guys would go at it on the ice she would say, "that's not violence, that's hockey!" RIP Ma.

25 years ago I went to my first NHL game at the ol Boston gahden, and there were 5 fights during the game. It was one of the most exhilarating things I’ve ever seen. Crowd was absolutely going nuts.

Jesus... Lucic is only 19 there? He's like permanently 37 years old looking.

Matt Cooke getting KO'd never gets old

I love the commentary during the fights it’s like they forgot they’re were casting a hockey game 😂😂😂

Chara in there throwing hands with kids less than half his age. We're going to miss you this year man. Thanks for all the memories and the heart you gave us.

"we hope cooke is okay" do we though?

“We hope Matt Cooke is OK.” No. No, we really don’t.

looks like everyone still dislikes matt cooke

Since corona...Hockey has become one of my favorite sports lol

1:53 my favorite moment in hockey history

Lucic, McQuaid, Chara, Boychuk, Horton, Shawn Thornton . . . the Stanley Cup year Bruins were tough.

9:03 do they always play the mortal kombat theme when there is a fight 😂😂

Stevie looked so proud of Jamie!

Easily one of the best hockey comps i've ever seen. This is incredible.

Chara smiling thinking he had him and catching one to the lips that made him stanky leg was the best.

"I hate Americans, I hate Canadians" What a different time in the NHL

As an Aussie who loves Ice Hockey since we really don't have a comp here, I'm uber impressed at the ability of these guys to go toe and toe even on skates and remain upright for that long until one at least hits the deck. So impressed!.

5:19 I love it. Soon as the guy goes down he is right there to make sure he is OK after jacking his world. Excellent sportsmanship

I watched Benn, Lucic, and Kane play junior hockey here in the WHL. Benn was our team captain for the Kelowna Rockets. He was great then but fantastic now.

Watching Matt Cooke lay motionless on the ice puts a smile on my face

10:32 laaawd have mercy

God, I love me some Darth Quaider, miss him here in Boston. A beast.

1:52: Kane: "Show me ya moves! FALCON PAAAWNCH!" 4:50: Lucic: "ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA"

2:31 love how Kane blows off his knuckles after his punch. Absolute legend 🐐

5:15 genuine respect for the kid 👏

2:40 Do we, though?

Love Benny's patience in that fight. Waited to get that right hand free and BANG BANG. Beautiful

Just one time in NHL history we gotta see the coaches go at it 😂😂😂

5:19 Damn Lucic is so respectful that surprised me, he gave him a little slap on back to be like “gg man nice fight”, it is rare to still see ppl like that

The look of pride and joy on charas face on the bench while McQuaid whaling on this dude is priceless

Glad to see even in the days of covid-19 and murder hornets, people still hate Matt Cooke lol!

3 years later still one of the best comps fr

McQuaid is one of the most underrated great hockey fighters ever, i watched his entire career, saw almost all of his fights, whether it was live or i saw highlights the nect day. And i genuinely cant remeber seeing him lose more than like 3 fights.

Every time I see the Boston Bruins, my heart drops, because I know there’s a chance I’ll hear Jack Edwards.

For those who don’t know: Fighting is “allowed” in hockey, but it’s a 5-minute penalty for both players. The rules of the fights are known as “The Code,” and its the poorest-kept secret in sports. The reason why fights are “allowed” is to allow players to police themselves; when tensions get hot, these are players with blades on their feet and scythes in their hands. And through The Code, no player has ever died from a fight on the ice. (Bill Masterson died from head injuries sustained during a fall, the only player to ever die on the ice in NHL history.)

As a rugby league player from Australia where ice skating is not a big part of the culture I find this bizarre but very entertaining. Strangely they dont appear to wear mouthguards. The dentists must love hockey. Keep it coming. Great stuff.😁

I love how respectful it is, 1 v 1. Good fights in a team sport. Great work.

Chara looked like a spring there at the end lol

"we hope Matt Cooke is ok" lol good one

Love how in McQuaids fight the ref is holding back his smile lmao!

Guy at 3:40 actually stopped hitting him while he was bracing on the wall, thinking he was done. Guy gets his balance back a few seconds later and tries to cheap shot him. Props to McQuaid for both the toughness to fight and the restraint not to.

Matt Cooke getting iced is so satisfying

Not a Hockey fan but these videos have become my favorite thing to watch!!

every contact sport needs to be able to fight like they do in hockey

The ref on folignos fight was just chillin looking at something across the ice when they were fighting right in front of him😂 shows best on the second angle

"we hope Cooke is OK!" No.. No we don't!

That is classic. For an Aussie, thats my kinda sport. Luv it how the refs let it play for a bit. Can keep watchin that

that was a good hockey fight compilation. Thanks

It's not often that deslauriers loses but damn he got torn up. He's a beast of a flyer now.

I didn’t grow up with hockey at all, but I’ve recently got into it (for about a month) and this sport is so sick. Wish I had-had the opportunity to play when I was younger.

I love how they turn it into a boxing match during the fighting with their weight and height and stuff.

Um...subscribing! Wow what a terrific compilation. Don’t even like fights that much, but this was some pretty epic stuff and cool idea for rookies who really made an impact in these. Great job!

10:00 he was waiting to fight his whole life

Clifford was never the same after his fight with Reaves.

You need to do a series of this it’s really good Edit. I like how you put who the rookie is no KZfaqr I watch does that

8:19 🤣 LOOK AT THE REF’S FACE IN THE BACK LMFAO

Thats the best hockey punch ive seen in a long time is utterly fantastic commentary 😂

10:00 Deslauriers was sleeping on that one

Am I the only one who enjoys the fights but is a little frustrated from the fact that the fight is on ice. I don’t know it is incomplete

So much honour in hockey! How could you not love and respect these athletes ❤❤❤

Domi - just like his dad - throws the punches long before the other guy drops the gloves...

As a B's fan. When Trenin landed that hit. We all took notice. That dude is a freaking animal. Sure Chara isn't the best fighter, but he HAS the size, he HAS the strength and he HAS the passion... Trenin held his own with not only Big Z, but if I remember he had some good bouts in his rookie campaign

Top 3: #1. Oleksiak #2. Trenin #3 Evander Kane

The sound of the crowd when a fight breaks out is pure bliss

There can never be a video about fighting in hockey without a Boston Bruin being involved.

I'm on a dropped gloves binge....halp

"We all hope Matt Cooke is okay." ... ehm ... No?! We don't...

We all gotta start somewhere.. Get out there and kick some ass boys!!!

Thing is even though these guys were rookies they still had fighting experience, because you used to actually be allowed to fight a lot in junior hockey.

When the announcer says we hope Cooke is okay.... nah bro we’re good with him being not ok

Chara is so scary, even when he wins a fight the other guy gets to brag about punching him once.

That’s literally the dream getting the crowd so hyped after the fight 6:50

Two tough B.C. boys to start off the video. Love it

2:40 For those who remember him...do we really hope that Matt Cooke is ok?

I went to the fights and a hockey game broke out.

No wonder Lucic is so good at fighting, he goes home everyday and practices.

Hockey is one of the most awesome professional sports (popular pro sports) on the planet. The fact that they don't treat the players like a high school soccer team and like what they are is awesome. Real men engaged in a contest of strength, skill, and aggressiveness. I understand why it's not as popular here in the US as in Canada, but man I wish it was.

"We hope that Matt Cooke is ok" But do we tho

Look up Trent Frederic’s first fight, good one maybe for part 2?

Dude gave him the covered wagon. LOL!

Man I never see these kinda fights while watching a game. It's always a wrestling match to get loose then done. So thank you for this great compilation.

3:33 punching down in front of your own team xd

I didn't like Evander Kane... until now. How am I just seeing him ko Cooke now? 10 years later

2:20 is that feeling you get in movies when the little guy getting bullied bights back.

10:32 is me getting assignments from teachers

4:50 the commentator sounds like a boxing commentator 😂😂

Beast Mode Benn 💪

Me encanta la cultura americana 🤗 La dureza del éste deporte deja atrás a muchos Debería de haber algo similar en España. No man behind🤜🤛

Before he hit the "I can't keep up with these kids anymore" wall Lucic was a scary guy and he wasn't just a good fighter, he also hit people really hard 😂. But, as you hockey fans know, he was also a pretty good player, I don't know his stats and I'm not looking them up but I know he had some good seasons. That he could go into the corners knowing very few players on the other team are going to try to crush him into the boards made things a little easier for him 😂. Those who did try to crush him usually didn't come in as hard the next time 🤕, and if they did he would give them the starring role in his next Don't drop the gloves with the rookie video.

The ref saved Chara

Jamie Benn is a beast

Boston has had some of the best fighters. Lucic Thorty Quaider etc. and I love Jack just energizing it even more!

The moment chara gets cracked and dips a little and the refs are like nope, no more lol

The only people I dislike as much as Brad Marchand are the NESN commentators

Jamie Benn!

Went to a boxing match, and a hockey game broke out. 😂

😂 The announcer at -5:43 sounds like the stand up comedian Tom Papa. -4:56 What fight was the announcer watching? He was yelling "they're throwing haymakers" blah blah blah even though we could see it was a boring fight. But you gotta love/laugh at Sabre announcers.
