all too human?
In re-guard to John Scott
Iv’e seen worse! an so has everyone else on here and in the NHL. I hate how
this got so blown out of proportion. 5 years ago this woulda been a penalty
and NOTHING else. I understand and agree that the NHL is trying to phase
out the “Enforcer” role in the game and I respect it.Yet by making examples
out of people like this it makes the league look bad! either ban these
players or come up with a new plan ENTIRELY to fix this problem. It’s not
just John Scotts fault here (he was bread an enforcer!! by scouts of the
NHL) other teams have these players (not as much as they used to) but
nothing is going to change and there will! be hits alot worse like this in
the future if the NHL doesn’t do a better Job at “ENFORCING” pardon the pun
its code of conduct. That means getting at the NHL scouts and say look no
more scouting and making lucrative contracts for these types of players.
The NHL isn’t doing it’s part there’s too much grey area in the fighting
and hitting part of the game. I feel sorry for guys like Bougard and Scott
because they were Bread into the league for Just these very reasons,but in
the end if the NHL wants to move on they need to completely! take out this
Role in the game!. The next time I here an NHL douche(Mike Millbury) talk
smack maybe he should aim it more at the NHL instead of the players
themselves. R.I.P Bougard BTW an all the rest?
well now when u list up some of em, i ofc notice them. parros is known to
me but didnt tought orr was a enforcer. and leafs has 2 enforcers!? lol
kessel that puny? but i mean before, every team had a enforcer…now its
more rare. i follow the preds and they have none for example. also i think
theres more known enforcers back in the 90s compared for today. probert,
domi,berube,ray,grimson,brashear,
simon,twist,cote,huscroft,mcharty,marchment….i made a whole team out of
them in nhl 2000 xD
ONLY John Scott? What are you stupid? There’s Scott from Buffalo yes, but
there’s guys like Parros for Montreal, Orr and McLaren for Toronto, Kassian
for Ottawa, Bordeleau for Colorado, Macintyre for Edmonton, Mcgrattan for
Calgary, Sestito for Vancouver, Rosehill for Philly…I can go on.
enforcer is a dying breed. in the 90s evry team had 1 now i can only
mention john scott from buffalo
rest in peace, big man
he’s an asshole for sticking up for a sport he likes?
2:10 there is the ROOT cause of Boogaard’s death. RCMP shuffled his family
around and it was hard life so that led him to hockey. So I guess we need
to BAN RCMP for shuffling families around making the lives of families and
children depressed and leading to suicides or drug overdose deaths.
We live in a CODDLED KIDS world. These guys live large and die large….why
blame anyone or anything??? They got to have and live the kind of life most
ppl would kill for. Why are we feeling sorry celebrities in sports or music
industry or movie industries who had fame, millions of dollars, and then
they struggled with depression and died? 99% of other depressed and
suicidal ppl die in poverty and we don’t care about them do we? No, we only
shed tears for the rich and famous.
Repeated head traumas, chronic pain and a drug problem led to hockey
enforcer Derek Boogaard’s tragically early death. +The New York Times takes
a deeper look at the life and addiction of one of the NHL’s most feared
fighters.?
orchard, when translated. So young to die, 1982-2011

Stupid video with a pussy agenda behind it. There are hundreds of the NHL
enforcers both past and present that are you doing just fine. Dave “The
Hammer” Schultz being the best goon back in the seventies when there was
WAY MORE fighting in the NHL, is one of them. You are just willingly
ignorant.
Are YOU going to tell a 325lb linebacker that he is fat and useless??
fighting is human nature starting from day one. You try and subdue it you
only unleash a bigger beast.

Ok, would you rather be by 30+ MPH or 10-15 mph… lol hockey= Way my
brutal than football and i played football
Rubbish !
You’re kidding, right? NFL players are, for the most part, fat and useless.
There are handful that can run and whatever, but their main purpose is to
be an overweight guy that gets in the way. Also, Gretzky hasn’t played
hockey in like..15 years. Get with the times, gramps. The average length of
a football players career is 6 years (source: NFL.com) whereas an NHL
players is twice that. Hockey players also aren’t fat. They’re pure muscle,
The only other players I hold in the same esteem is rugby
