Well so was Brashear.This isn't the level of discourse proper for the board, but gotta say, Marty McSorely was a piece of ****.
On a side note, is the Sharks announcer in the first clip a 10 year old boy?
Lmao seriously, what the heck is going on thereThis isn't the level of discourse proper for the board, but gotta say, Marty McSorely was a piece of ****.

I still think, when you watch McSorely hit Brashear in the head, that he was trying to hit him in the shoulder and misjudged it badly. Still terrible.
I always had the vibe that Brashear never enjoyed his role as an enforcer. Watching his fights from his Montreal days cringe inducing, legitimately terrified when he was squaring off.
Meanwhile, McSorley was a polar opposite. He took pride in his role, and would push boundaries in order to send a message.

God, I miss real hockey.
I've always thought that the designated fighter in hockey has been perhaps the most sad role in all of sports.

Any way. Brashear's supposed to go against Rob Ray, a fierce fighter, but what the hell is he doing here? Gives credence to your observation...

I just found/find it so gimmicky. As a Euro, I caught a game live in 98–99 between NSH and CHI and I remember there was some fight in that game. Now when I look at the box score on hockey-reference I see it was actually two, both in the first period. Reid Simpson vs Denny Lambert (who and who?), and Bob Probert vs Patrick Cote. Witnessing the game, I just never understood the context of the fights, they just seemed very random and pointless. I got a very WWE-ish vibe from it.
He got his due later. I will never forget the justice that was dished out by Mcsorley. Head Slash ftw.
Funny how the video doesn't show Brashear hitting Byron Dafoe earlier in the game causing Dafoe to miss the rest of the season. Also doesn't show Brashear taunting the Bruins bench. Plus McSorley was aiming for his shoulder not head. I can guarantee you that Marty was more respected around the league than huggy bear.
Ya well getting slashed on your shoulder pad doesn't really hurt. Every player that has ever played hockey has probably used his stick as a weapon at some point.Don't care if he was aiming for the head or shoulder as no player should ever use his stick as a weapon. McSorely 100% lost a lot of respect by trying to injure someone with his stick after losing his fight.
Brasher is no saint, but there is 0 justification for McSorely to use his stick as a weapon.
