Chris Pronger stomps on Ryan Kesler's leg

And on to the upstanding citizens of hockey. (And frankly the crap that goes on in hockey is so much more egregious that it isn't funny, Most of these guys should be in jail.

This happened March 14, 2008. He got an 8 game ban. A similar act by a player from a different team got a 20-game ban a few years ago.



Chris Simon stomps Jarkko Ruutu



And of course this infamous one: Chris Bertuzzi sucker punches Steve Moore - and then drives him face first into the ice, giving him a broken neck.



Interestingly, though there's plenty of video of Markus Näslund at YouTube, there is none that shows Steve Moore's hit on him, which is what caused the retaliation by Chris Bertuzzi - who has returned to hockey after a whole one year suspension.

And to further glorify violence in sport, someone has put together "Best Hockey Hits"


(and the exultant reactions of the people who watched this video and made comments - scary.)

This one is most horrifying of all - for one reason. The referees just stand there and let the two men go at each other. They don't try to separate them...they don't do anything. Why are they even on the ice?
