Those punches after Kadri went down we’re uncalled for.

[@josephtravaldo1295]

No they weren't

[@charlesharrington3890]

An exception can be made for Kadri

[@MrNicholas7]

3:29 - Linesman did Larkin a solid there. Made sure to quickly pull his jersey back down so he wasn't called for having a loose fight strap.

[@joshuabrunk6672]

Good eye dude

[@boston7704]

Very nice catch. Good on Larkin for stepping up - kid can throw down!

[@dublinoseven3279]

No footage of Kane vs. Casino?

[@kingoftrolls19]

Lol dumbass makes 45+ million and can’t even pay back half a million

[@Dreadfulvoiletgirl]

“Fights of the week” Palmari does nothing to Nisky

[@tommcd8471]

@jeffg24LT21 true...but Hughes is only 160 pounds, hes going to get dumped like that every third game unless he puts on some size.

[@bluebint]

First clip got me soooo confused lool i was like is kadri on the devs now? XD

[@jakeberger4472]

1:21 Holy bias by those coyotes announcers, crouse and kadri didn't do anything to each other, Crouse did not level kadri by any means lol

[@boostedfist]

couple haymakers while kadri was on the ice though, against the code.

[@moemanncann895]

kadri 😆 code out the window when you feed him 🤣

[@user-wp9mb5yq5e]

@@boostedfist Kadri doesn't deserve any code.

[@SliceofBread123]

Johnathan Brabant When you throw a punch and then go down right away, don’t expect a free pass. Especially if you’re Kadri.

[@sam93931]

kadri is dirty and hit by behind, no code for him, fire at will!

[@timnoseworthy4623]

Seeing a lot of dirty punches when guys go down anymore. Where's the code

[@peterpike]

I know, that ticks me off.

[@paulhupka8928]

Don't let up till the ref pulls you off.

[@timnoseworthy4623]

@@paulhupka8928, case in point. It ain't supposed to be a street fight. You aren't trying to beat a guy by smashing him off the ice. When guys used to drop someone or lose balance, guys would literally grab the back of the other guys head to protect him. If you wanna go, you do it standing

[@peterpike]

@@paulhupka8928 -- That's not the hockey code.

[@CAVEMANsean]

The code left with the implementation of the "instigator" rule. That's where, and the fact that refs have to try to stop every fight before it starts leads to this when fights do happen and a lot more intent to injure plays

[@ryanmcclellan7347]

thank God for hockey

[@amatt2116]

Great job by Lowry

[@CAVEMANsean]

Go sharks

[@AGolfrGuy12]

Beyond satisfying. see that face Reeves was making when they squared up? Yikes

[@Pappiiiichulooo41]

Palmeri did nothing to niskanen

[@saltycadet5904]

That Reeves one is so fun, he's just like "Ya hurt my friend, yer gonna have to fight for that"

[@CAVEMANsean]

Lowry obliged very willingly

[@autumnmurray8904]

Atta boy Larkin , from a Canadian I would usually Root for Ellis on that tilt but he stood his ground

[@fulldump9834]

Show this to the Leafs.

[@jbear1364]

Trust me, the Leafs are the first ones to see these. We're happy for him

[@RthereNEusernames]

All the dummies commenting this seem to forget he was suspended for 7 of our last 14 playoff games, almost certainly influencing the outcome of those series. We love Naz, but can we put this narrative to rest?

[@domenicgioiosoiii5708]

Good for Adam taking on reaves he handled him self pretty good...

[@davidbojarski2423]

Good for Larkin

[@bobremmer2225]

nice

[@BrownKnee666]

thats hockey baby

[@Sam-2468]

Those are the best?

[@johnnyboy4me]

NHL no longer has it's Gladiatorial spirit . Penalties- suspensions To severe and with the improvement of face guards has almost defused fighting completely. The days of the team policeman/tough guy has left the rink... Although hockey isn't about fights but from a fans view point I think it's missed..

[@MuskokaMatt91]

Boom

[@elijahstahl2014]

yaaaahhhhhhoooooooo

[@danh4435]

The title is kadri and his fight is shown 3rd hmm

[@maaxa3766]

It's a KZbin strategy for viewer retention

[@debrawaldner5777]

Hi ppl it's a funny video

[@elijahstahl2014]

👾

[@stpbasss3773]

The first one is not a fight

[@mikes7446]

Got damn PeeWee Herman!

[@vanessacrouch6028]

Kadri looks like he did a lot of offseason work learning how to drop his gloves. It only took 2 playoff suspensions and a trade.

[@rickg5597]

I'd bet he has more career fights than today's entire Leaf squad!

[@michaelbacon8698]

Miss my Yazem. 😭

[@rickg5597]

Michael Bacon ditto bud!

[@michaelbacon8698]

@@rickg5597 the 1-2-3 of Matty Tavares and Kadri was so awesome. I don't think anybody could touch that center depth

[@michaelbacon8698]

@@rickg5597 it's crazy to think how quickly our depth turned around in a couple of years, not too long ago Bozie was our #1 with Kessel and JVR. That was a pretty awesome line too now that I think back on it

[@ShanahanHockey]

Kadri did not get knocked down. He stepped and slipped on the glove on the ice.

[@domenicgioiosoiii5708]

Not like the old days but decent lol 😂

[@linuslandin5781]

Is that really how you pronounce Mark Borowiecki's name?

[@moemanncann895]

Totally, completely butchered his name, useless tools,that's their job ffs

[@x2xtreme360]

@@moemanncann895 I mean, Sam Rosen is one of the most respected in the league. He's been around a long time. Just made a mistake. A little far calling him a useless tool.

[@moemanncann895]

Part of being a professional is research, pronunciation, due diligence and homework which gains respect. Unless you can get away with " 17 passes to buddy who drops it to the black guy.. oh drilled by whatshisname! " should have just said his sweater number,less disrespectful

[@x2xtreme360]

@@moemanncann895 Rosen has been broadcasting for over 30 years, and holds the 2016 Foster Hewitt Memorial award. He mispronounced one name... what exactly do you do again? Lol

Old time hockey.

[@craiggagnon8407]

Coyotes guys conveniently leaving out the part where that stiff was laying serious crosschecks and slashes on Kadri before that scuffle....its hilarious how bad some of the US guys are calling games...Homers x100

[@scmammen]

No leaf players ovbs

[@davidbojarski2423]

Of course Kadri gets his ass kicked

[@chrisbatoche7532]

Kadri cant even fight

Kadri should be banned from the game of hockey for life.

[@doughaak7407]

Kadri fighting is a joke.

[@BenDover-vs7ih]

No one touches kadri and he falls. LMAO. No wonder fighting has gone down League probably sent a memo out to the players look you guys are garbage at dropping the mitts try not to do it so much. Lol.

[@aaronvargas7071]

I saw a slash to the back of the leg

[@Stresside]

In the era of severe concussions Sportsnet is highlighting all the fights? Irresponsible and disrespectful in my opinion.

[@TheHawk425]

Go watch soccer, these guys get paid millions of dollars to play and they don't even have to fight. If they do fight it's there decision they're adults.

[@Stresside]

@@TheHawk425 , You don't get my point at all? It's not only about the players in these clips, it's more importantly about the culture what these videos create for admiring hockey fights. Young players will adopt the culture from videos like this. I play hockey myself and I do think that there is a place for fights in hockey. But they are nothing to look up to.

[@Stresside]

Furthermore, no one gets paid for fighting anymore in professional hockey. That culture is dead.

[@TheHawk425]

@@Stresside there's no dedicated fighters anymore but if you seriously think two identical players except one can fight doesn't get paid more your delusional. Also this is the NHL it's a buisness, not showing fights would be stupid of Sportsnet. Fights will bring in more fans and grow the game as well. No one wants to see anyone get hurt but this is a sporty these things happen, hitting causes concussions more often then fighting and most of those hits were clean and not to the head.

[@ccAshercc]

US television sucks at commenting for Hockey. It's embarrassingly bad and emphasizes all the wrong things.

[@kostecs3116]

Can’t stand Kadri
