Ugly Hockey Fight of the Year? Petrovicky Knocks Out Newbury - During Penguins - Leafs game 2/10/07
Fighting in hockey is still pretty common. Watching a player get knocked out cold and have to be taken off the ice on a stretcher . . . not so often. Over the weekend the fight was between Toronto Maple Leaf's Kris Newbury and Pittsburgh Penguins forward Robert Petrovicky. Details from Canada.com:Four seconds after Pittsburgh's Maxim Talbot scored to make it 5-5, Newbury and Petrovicky squared off at centre ice. Petrovicky caught Newbury with a hard punch, and the Leafs centre's helmet came off. When Newbury fell back, he struck his head on the ice and was knocked cold.
"'We started fighting and he fell on his head pretty bad so, you know, sorry, but that's part of the game," Petrovicky said. "Hopefully he'll be okay.
"I wish him well."
Newbury lay motionless for 30 seconds before awakening just as Toronto's training staff began treating him. A large pool of blood collected under his head and he was strapped to a spinal board and taken for treatment. He later went to hospital for examination.
