Even though Hendricks got his ass beat you gotta respect the heart this guy plays with. He knew going in to that fight that he wasn't going to win but he knew he had to step up and own up to what he did.
F*ck I love Rikci Gudbranson, one of the last guys without a visor of is generation and for sur one of the last gladioator of is generation. Respect Bruuuh
Always loved Hendricks in Nashville. Glad to see that he is still a man! Even tho he got his ass beat, he answered for his fuck up instead of letting one of his line mates take it.
The video doesn't show the little chat Thorty had with Gadzic during warmups. We can imagine that Gadzic brokered a deal somewhere along the lines of "He'll step up right away and get it over with, but it's gotta be someone other than you…"
Man this league has become completely pussyfied. Hendricks hit wasn't even close to boarding since Ekblad was almost right on the boards. The kid must not get hit very often because he should have expected that hit and prepared himself, instead of turning his body away from the hit like it's his first year playing contact hockey.
Oh well, at least they still allow a bit of contact, pretty soon that will all be gone too. Can't have these million dollar babies getting hurt and disrupting revenue flows now can we.
I bet Gudbranson's hand hurts after that fight. Didn't anyone teach him that punching a helmet hurts you more than it hurts the other guy. What a dope.
All this respect bullshit is bullshit. He ran a guy with his back to him and then gave the thumbs up…..fuck Hendricks. Im a Ranger fan so I could care less. If anything I should be happy because Florida is in the east…..but I call bullshit like this on anyone.

Got beat but at least he manned up and answered the bell instead of hiding behind the instigator rule like so many NHL pussies do these days.
i wanted to see thorton vs hendricks
i know thorton has wanted to get his hands on hendricks since hendricks infamously chose mcquaid over him.
but the 6'5' 260lbs guy was pretty fun to watch fun too

Gubranson punches like Jovanoski used to. Long hard punches. He and Maroon are really improved fighters in the league.
Exactly what I like to see, gudbranson is great for steeping up and Hendricks willing to go. That's hockey for you.

Took his licks like a man.
0:45 – Why does Hendricks even look at his hand like he punched like a mad man ? "holding on for his dear life" injury ?
What's the matter, Hendricks? Can't fight fair?
Atta boy Erik!
I give props to hendricks he knew he would have to fight and got pumped!
Lol Thornton was to scared to fight Gazdic quit trying to pump his fuckin tires
From my point of view, Hendricks won xD
Hendricks was not even trying to do anything but minimize the damage. He knew he would have to fight, and knew he deserved to lose….so he did.
Judging by the ice on Erik's hand, he hit that helmet pretty hard…
Ouch those punches had revenge in them
Still a dirty hit on ekblad, still out. He should take a couple more beatings
Fuck ya

44 had Hendricks clock. Looked like the time keeper guy was taking a nap.
Holy shit! The bandwagon is full in Florida! Look at 0:50 into the video !
In front of a sellout crowd.
God damn Gudbranson, when opponent just want's to hug you, you can't beat the shit out of him 😀

Gudbranson broke his hand ahaaa…dumb fuck..Go Oilers Go
hats off to hendricks for answering the call
I always laugh at a guy who checks out his knuckles after he scraps, but he didn't throw a single punch.
Wow!!!
Gudranson hit nothing but helmet. Now he's got a broken hand. So who wins? Hendricks. Muhahahahahaha
Hendricks should have expected that.
paybacks a bitch Hendricks
I love Gudbranson, and I love Jagr's reaction banging at the bench
