Great Fight Debate - II

I'll say this...when Wilson is on the ice with the Bergeron line I often find myself holding my breath. He's the one guy in the league who I could see ending Bergeron's career with one last concussion. and having Chara or Miller on the ice does nothing to reduce this concern for me.

Sabres' Kyle Okposo diagnosed with another concussion

Kind of throws a wrinkle into the "fights don't cause CTE" argument with this story...

I think he had CTE long before getting tagged here. He flat out shouldn't be fighting.

It's like David Backes getting into a tilt and getting dropped.

Head injuries are going to happen regardless. This was just a specific example where a guy got an obvious concussion because of a fight, despite several posters here claiming it doesn't happen that way.

There absolutely are concussions that are in result from fighting. You're even more prone to them when you have a bad history, like Okposo.

I think Okposo has more career concussions than fights. (5 career fights).

Bruins have had 8 or 9 concussions this season, none from fights.
