Wondering why fights are shorter and refs are breaking them all up?, read below.
Department Of Player Safety sent down an unannounced mandate to all officials and linesmen. They are to now break up and or stop a fight when a player loses his helmet. This is all more player safety concern crap over head injuries. Bottom line is fighting is down over 50% from 5 years ago and now there are so many rules in place to prevent or stop fighting that it's nearly fully banned. Let's glance to hits now, with more and more big hits stopping play and generating penalties regardless of rule violation. Nearly all big hits or violent looking ones now are instant ejections and game misconducts. If you are wondering why, ONCE AGAIN it's due to concern for Concussions and CTE. The NHL wants to eliminate ANY play that could lead to a concussion, because they cause CTE. And they think slowly removing fighting will increase player safety. Guess what?. Over 70% of all concussions in the NHL come from hits. Enforcement and " The Code " and fighting in hockey has been around for over 100 years and is a part of the game whether some softy new fans like it or not. The NHL has nearly lost all it's grit and tenacity and emotion. And now all of it's physical play is being sterilized as well. And they wonder why the stands are empty. Jesus Christ the NHL is play doe soft, and I bet within a decade it will be a stick checking only league. RIP Tough hockey.
Good job Anthony Peluso !!!! im proud to see you playing for calgary!!!! you stuck up for teammate thats all that matters they should of let u knock him out bro!!!!!
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?! Get those god damn Canadian zebras out of here. One guy lands a punch and both linesmen try to jump in, like why, what the fuck?
I would be most impressed to see Lucic do something remarkable. For example, not breathing through his mouth. The guy is a complete and utter Neanderthal. 2nd guy from the left on the evolution chart, I swear.
I get the people arguing about the fight being broken up, but at the same time why does every dude get challenged after he makes a clean legal hit? Maybe instead teach these kids coming out of high school and juniors to pass the puck with their head up?

Peluso ain't really want it. Looks like he loosened his helmet before coach made him go out there.
Jesus this sport sucks so fucking bad now. I can't believe they jumped in. My God, what happened to this game? So glad I stopped following it.
fking linesmen..
It's been too long when I last saw Peluso fight (he used to be on Winnipeg back then)
I hate when they break up fight
fucking refs have they ever done any good for the game!!!!????
Peluso looked pretty pissed off when they broke up that fight, and I can't say that I blame him.
trash linesmen
Sucker shot champ Lucic will get his soon, theres always someone tougher, quicker and stronger. Plus Milan is getting old
ref came to save Pluso

Since they’re trying to get rid of fights why not just ban the Visors and make all of the players wear full cage? Fucking pussy league
Someone tell me when there is a petition for no helmet rule. Cause this rule is making hockey soft…
Thank you for uploading these to youtube
Refs ruined a perfectly good tilt

Pussification of the sport personified.
Punch the zebras

Gary Bettman and his no fight policy have ruined the NHL. It's a shell of the sport it once was.
I thought Lucic was slowing down physically but he’s 3rd in the league in hits.
Looked like a disagreement to me.
Damn refs, Lucic would have destroyed him

Always good to see those linesman doing their jobs. Thats what the crowd came to see effiecient refereeing
fucking LINES WOMEN.
I didn't think Kevin "The White Knight" Collins was reffing anymore…broke this one up too early…
What a check
In his own language Lucic means, Ponce. I am sure many didn't know that?
2 tough guys…i love it!
Fucking stupid linesman
Those refs just saved Lucic’s life. Peluso is a tough ombré
People forget Lucic scored 30 goals in a season and a few times over 20. He was a key guy in the Bruins cup win and a few other deep runs.
Le pissous a Lucic qui a refusé de se battre avec the big Georges Laracque chouuuuuuu lâche .il choisit ses adversaires 😡😡😡😡😡
Big milan luc.
Moment league is soft
