idk, kinda hard to top this one
Okposo with a meh hit, but then for some reason feels the need to stand up for it.. dude has a bad concussion history, it's a 3-2 game, he looked uncomfortable the whole time, and he gets rocked- why? Why do that to yourself? I guess getting DeAngelo off the ice was a solid, dude was a beast, but jeez what an ugly fight.
Look up any of Kostopoulos' fights. They're all ugly.
Maybe the quickest fight ever btw.....
Haha at least Semin was doing the slapping though- untied jersey aiding him, of course, but all the same..
Okposo walked into a fight he never should have taken and pretty much got one punched- that's some rarified air, right there.
And what was that for DeAngelo? 2-3? And KO has what, 40 pounds on DeAngelo?Okposo with what, his 3rd or 4th career NHL fight? Dumb thread.
Edit: 4th and 1st since 2015
Kyle Okposo
Players that have ever had a concussion should be put in a designated no fight list, with an auto suspension or some kind of penalty triggering anytime they drop them. KO fighting is just so wrong on so many levels.
Yeah, sorry if I wasn't clear, Okposo himself would be suspended under my proposal.Okposo himself should know better than to engage with his concussion history. It's not like the long-term brain damage caused by repeated head trauma is a secret to the players anymore. It's scary to see a guy with Okposo's history get tagged like that, but he chose to drop the mitts there. It's not like Deangelo sucker-punched him.
I feel bad for Okposso. He's had some pretty bad head problems with concussions and all over his career. He doesn't need this. I don't think he came back into the game after that.

Done or not, he's still getting paid millions to play a game. So whether he's done or not, I don't feel bad for him.I feel bad for Okposo at this point in career. He's done, the game has passed him by.

It is his choice to continue playing. I feel very bad about his health issues, but not about him being "done" or "the game passing him by". It is what it is.Can't feel bad for someone because money. The guy has clearly had some mental issues and has gone through a difficult time money or not.
Let me introduce you to Rick DiPietro, who did the exact same thing under the same circumstances and also got one punched
