Blind Sight Is 20/20:
Colton Orr and Todd Fedoruk drop the gloves 21 seconds into the game and Orr sends Fedoruk to the hospital shortly thereafter. Check out the video of this fight (and the Orr vs Eager fight 10 minutes later) on my blog.

The NHL is becoming more of a joke each day with these acts of violence. How many times have you heard from people like Don Cherry, that nobody gets hurt in a hockey fight? Well just ask Jeff Bukeboom, Nik Kypreos, Kris Newbury, and now Fedoruk. The NHL treats these guys like cattle because most of them are nothing more than minimum wage players. If guys like Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin started dropping the gloves and pounding the hell out of each other, you'd see the league act quickly to prevent any of its stars from becoming permanently injured. If I was an insurance company I sure as hell wouldn't insure NHL players unless the league took fighting out of the game. Why should a player injured in a hockey fight be eligible for insurance? If the geniuses who run the league and the NHLPA had to take care financially of injured players, you'd soon see a stop to this garbage.

That was a bomb! I agree with hockeydude, there has to be something the NHL can do to keep guys from being sprawled out on the ice like that...21 seconds into the first period.
