Eklund: The Dirtiest Play of the Year? Chatfield should be suspended for a year,

Wow what a waste of skin ! That’s brutal and he should never play again !!

100% AGREE!

For a year

terrible play. he should be banned for that

Todd Bertuzzi was allowed to play NHL hockey after his act tthat could have killed someone. Been there, done that.
Unfortunately, it might take a death on the ice to see real changes.

Marty wasn’t as lucky

maybe also because he was a plug that went after the best player on the other side ?

Not approving Todd gesture, neither do I like the Canucks, but just saying "Marty" was not all clean either

I think they should kill him

That’s because Hatfield is a wimpy clown. What a punk move and he should be throwing out of the league for being a coward

This was pretty bad. I would imagine other players on his own team will have plenty to say to him about this.

I see no issue with this. They were fighting ffs. Pretty sweet move honestly.

It took 11 years after Bill Masterton's death for helmets to become mandatory, so maybe you're giving the NHL too much credit.

It’s a fight so… nothing to see here.

So biting, eye-goughing, kicking and punching testicles would also be cool?

Well, it's plural, so obviously not Phil Kessel.

They allow fighting so I suppose the NHL needs rules for fighting conduct now. So stupid. Either let them fight or don't allow it at all.

You don’t want bit kicked or tapped then don’t square up.

George Parros rolls his eyes.

Nice hip throw, I hope he gets a year off to improve his technique.

I've seen clips of Terry O'Reilly trying to slew foot a guy while throwing punches, I doubt anyone cared.

Chatfield might wish he got suspended. He's going to get roadkilled by Tom Wilson the next time they play, instead.

There are literally rules for fighting conduct in boxing, MMA, wrestling and any other organization that has fighting. Do you even read what you write? So stupid.
