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.
Chara is not a goon. He stands up for his mates. It’s hard to fight him. His reach is too big, and he doesn’t want to take it to the limit. Hence no big bouts when he’s involved.
classic chara fight , good job…no massacre,no blood…chara is very big man but dont use his power for destroying the enemy…only one move and chara is the winner…respect for chara…age 41 and always on the top…(okey,no top,but always ready for fight)…
Good fight? Really looks like chara was out of breath after the 3rd swing the old man is slowing down good thing he wasn't fighting someone who could throw a punch
Lol people saying if Chara knew how to fight. You do know his dad was an Olympic trained wrestler. And Chara in his younger years would train every summer with his father. And if you still don't think he knows how to fight, look at some of his earlier fights. He doesn't throw big KO bombs because he probably cares about his knuckles at 41. It hurts alot to fight in your younger years, let alone your later years. Guy is still one of the toughest.

Almost every Chara fight ever. His reach and strength outweigh his opponents. Coming from a Leafs fan, I can respect the guy.

Chara is a wrestler and always does takedowns. Never lands any punches.
Good show, boys!
Chara usually falls off balance in 10 seconds..

Is it a cameraman's job to take 15 seconds to realize there is a fight on the ice?

There’s a min I won’t get back
you can't fuck with that bear of a man…
Easy win for Marooner
Chara fights like a gentleman
Can you imagine if chara knew how to fight , big clown
I hate the bruins but chara is such a beast
Strong? dude not even. He simply has height and reach. When hes losing a fight and gets tired, he just drags a guy to the ice.
I’d like to see Ryan Reeves rip chara’s head off.

2019, why does it take so long for the producer to switch and show the fight?

Too bad it wasn't a better fight.. 2 classy/tough guys
They both got rid of their canes for this one huh
Maroon was just trying not to die
Watching “The Last Gladiators”. Thank you for sharing your content bro. 🤝
What a weak ass spectacle. Take it down it’s a waste of time
Chara(Grabs him): I need an extra long break, you?
Maroon: Yeah I'm down, lets go.
Boston announcer "Chara so immensely strong, that is a smell you get from over 300 yards!"
Look like to me they didn't want to fight. Chara wasn't even trying to pummel him.
fatty patty never stood a chance
