"If I take one punch from Orr I'll be out for the night. So if I take several punches from Orr I'll be out for a week." -Hendrix?

You see? That's how it's done! You don't need to take a cheap shot on someone to, in the words of my co-worker today, "knock them the F!@# out." You square up, and take the risk of getting knocked out yourself. That's a beautiful example of civilized hockey fighting at it's finest. Although the announcers give all this BS about how it's bad. Don't listen to them.
It's funny how you notice Orr wrapping up his hand toward the end of the video. He probably broke it due to the metal plates that Fedoruk has in his face. Why is it so much fun watching someone get knocked out cold? You see Fedoruk's whole body go completely limp as he drops straight to the ice. Then you see him kind of frozen while laying on his back, with his arm sticking up almost twitching. It sure would have been fun to listen to him try to talk right after that.
The ironic part of all this was that this was Shanahan's first game back from being knocked out when the Rangers played the Flyers last time. Interesting trend these two teams have going for them. And I missed it because I had to go to Scranton to watch the Phantoms lose.
By the way, before you start thinking I'm some morbid heartless soul that takes pleasure in watching people suffer, hold on a second. These guys know exactly what they're in for, and they fight at their own risk. Now if someone was to get a random senseless thrashing that's a different kettle of some very different fish.
