Referee gets injured, brawl ensued

[1928384327856TANNER]

what are you talking about!? im in my 3rd year of pewee ur crazy hes not faking i had stiches from skates shut up

[Deflection]

Linesmen... Faked injury to get out of the game...

[inuyashafan64]

I looked it up HES NOT DEAD!!!!

[inuyashafan64]

i looked it up and it not only ended his career but also nearly his life!

theres a report on the events immediately after indicating that if he had stayed on the ice to break up the fights he likely would've died right there and then due to: total loss of his nose and several face and jaw injuries!!

[SelectiveINfusion]

way to keep it real DePuzzo...

[Brchnelka]

That must hurt... but I really love the face the player makes on 1:22

[TheRandomCamper]

that must suck

[rrvtjd]

I want to know the name of the fat tub of shit in the crowd who can be seen (1:25) smiling and talking smack as DePuzzo is helped off the ice. What a fucking asshole!

[Rodgerwilco91]

dang dude. that was a sickk brawl. haha poor guy though. thats rough.

[newfie007]

the flyers in a brawl? why am i not suprised. the dirtiest nhl team of all-time. bunch of clowns if you ask me.

[kilmorey13]

clean hip check and clean drop kick but the childish scrap after  the ref was down was stupid they just did it because they knew one ref was down they could have atleast waited for a few minutes until replacement ref was on ice to babysit them

[snyper1377]

You gotta appreciate guys like Depuzzo.. He showed just as must determination to do his job as the players themselves. Good on ya Pat, your alright in my books :)

[NashStatMatrix]

Why was he holding his face and why as his face bleeding? I couldn't get that! on the replay the ref didn't have any impact on the face.

[xXODDSHOTXx]

@NashStatMatrix Downies skate came up when he was hip checked and hit the ref in the face.

[colouredbills]

tough my ass

[aaabbbccc123321]

The accident occurred when the Philadelphia Flyers' Steve Downie, during the course of being checked into the boards, accidentally struck Dapuzzo in the face, causing ten different fractures in his face and cutting his nose from his face, which required forty stitches to reattatch. The injuries caused by the contact the skate and skate blade would have been prevented if Dapuzzo had been wearing a visor at the time.

[AJACKSON888]

Visors and neck guards - gotta make them mandatory.

[valmiustila]

"So i don't know how you break up the fight"

LOL! Before NHL moved to 4 ref system, there was 3 refs and they were okay with big fights..!

[WoWGalan]

heree is what the hockey players were saying

Random Hockey player: THE REF IS INJURED, LETS FIGHT DUMBASS

[Chrisdrumz]

Bullshit. He bladed himself. You can clearly see one of the players hand him the blade and he cuts himself. The players fighting are to distract you while he does the job on himself. It's a shame when the NHL has to lower itself to the standards of pro RASSLIN! Still,he did did a good job.

[MrCFinny]

@Chrisdrumz , please tell me you're just kidding around....

[Chrisdrumz]

@MrCFinny LOL! Yeah man,of course.

[MrCFinny]

@Chrisdrumz thank god, hahaha. you never know with some people on youtube.

[alecfederov91]

thats why u wear a halfie

[fnstyle]

That was towards the end of the 2008 season...

[Julius121081]

When was this? 

[blazersboy1]

if the war a ful face shields when you ref how the fuck are they gonna blow the whistle

[SABWT2320]

It was brutal

[CourtyardPigeon]

refs should be required to wear full face shields in the NHL...that's just stupid not to

[fnstyle]

Only one problem with your theory: How do you suppose that the referees will blow the whistle if they are wearing a full face shield?

A half visor makes sense though, and would've helped DePuzzo in this case!

[G0odf3lla]

@fnstyle haha nice answer

[Jonesyful10]

@fnstyle like how the players in little leagues play with the mouth guard attached too their helmet

[droc9999]

@fnstyle lol, classy

[kieliobow]

@fnstyle In his defence, a full cage could actually work. Especially one's with partitions big enough that whistles could easily fit through.

[stevedrums]

@CourtyardPigeon Just what the NHL needs. More legilation. These are grown men. Let them do what they want to do.

[GoSensGo9165]

@CourtyardPigeon

thats why dumbasses like you arent working for the NHL

THANKGOD

[CaNaDiiAnBaCoN]

@CourtyardPigeon how does that make sense? reffs should wear full shields but players dont have to?

[oReFLeXiioNz]

@CourtyardPigeon You're fucking retarded.

[CourtyardPigeon]

@oReFLeXiioNz

Yes, that's it. And YoUArEsoSMArt.

[kingdomcalls]

Well... The referee in hockey should have a goalie mask this time. So they can stand that hit better. A goalie mask of iron, if i was a referee should I take a goalie mask, that was a horrible video. You guys think how you should be when You got hit in the face by a skate-blade. I don't think you all should laugh about when referee gets that. I know we all hate referees but i don't think he diserve to die while he do his job at the plan. The referees are people too, they do wrong sometimes

[RippinSkullz]

grow the fuck up it's part of the risk, they have a choice whether to wear it or not, this RARELY happens, if anything wear a neck guard.

[lujavana]

lol crackers

[soccergirlscore]

fucking hockey players

fucking terrorists they are

i dont find fucking one of them with a gun fucking kill them all to hell stupid fucking overp aid bnhl and pro sports can all fuck

[gijoechris123]

@soccergirlscore that made no sense? terrorists they are? well... just saying, but most soccer players could pass for terrorists ;)

[xlatinabebe]

are you on drugs ?

[Waycooljr2270]

grow up asshole!

[shatzicles]

@phalluses stfu you fuckin pussy, hockey is made for real men, too bad your vagina cant handle the intensity of hockey

[judopuns]

It's done in an environment where it's supported, while niggers will do it in any environment :)

[nfms12]

That's what the flyers do best, especially when there are 2 refs out. Noone there to break it up.

[sortman94]

do you not see the rangers?

[zzret41]

I played ice gockey with DaPuzzo's son

[ccookiejarr]

this is so funny once a kid asked me at school if i wanted to fight so i wore a pair of skates around all day and when i saw him kicked him in the neck

[Gamer9678]

your a fucking retard, first of all how did you walk around in skates all day, second of all thats stupid as fuck because your going to ruin the blades and finally since you sound like your 7 I doubt your school would let you in wearing skates.

[stevedrums]

He's still,havnig issues stemming from this incident.

[illicitstill]

One tough ref right there.

[montrealwinthecup]

downey! ;D

[detroitsports77]

yeah fighting with half shield on. what a fucking pussy.

[FlyBikes089]

damn!

[ThePsychoReturns]

DePuzzo is one tough dude.

[gun4hire]

Man this pretty much sums up how tough hockey is

[TheRater10]

ouch holy shit thatd hurt

[Spectortech]

A1 performance exelent work Pat you got the mojo

[thisismedgr]

Props to DePuzzo for representing and trying to get back in there. Good show by the other linesmen to get him out of the fray or he could've been hurt much worse.

[leinicke]

Man, that had 2 hurt like hell. Fuck all you who say he's a pussy or that refs suck.

[chrisneillovescock]

This was Dapuzzo's last game in the NHL.

[timconboyrox]

umm, I don't know if ghockeygoalie was talkin to me but the ref actually went up to me and said "I felt bad for that team so I gave you a penalty, because they were down 7 goals." So there i'm not just sayin that it totally true. So whatever i dpnt know why i like got so many bad rates maybe the last part was a little harsh but whatever, if you were in my place you'd be pist off too.

[bigbadbruins08]

why does cote fight?

[meanwiddlekid]

Cote fights because he can't do anything else. Orr still kicked his ass.

[jkrx]

atleast cote and orr chose to fight eachother, but look at the pussy downey fighting tyutin...

[meanwiddlekid]

Downey will be out of hockey soon one way or another. Either he will be thrown out because of his insane actions or he will wind up in jail or dead.

[thesponge8]

man if i was that ref i'd be like 'fuck that(at the players fighting), they can kill each other, wheres a trainer?'

[timconboyrox]

i hate refs, they can soooo suck. and in my hockey make up penalties b/c they feel bad for the worst team ever. FUCK REFS!

[ghockeygoalie]

dude your and asshole.. i dont like refs but they make mistakes like we do

[fredk7]

Hockey referee are soldier, I know bunch of guys wearing stripes who had been injuried (broken ankle !!! broken nose !!! broken jawbone !!! 32 stitches !!! concusion ) and they never left ice, I'm one of those : broken jawbone, done my game, 3x20min game, went for three days in hospital.

[nicosnas]

Can you feel the love, people?

[bustedwhistle]

Pat Dapuzo s a balzy motherfucker. good on ya pat trying to get back in to help your partner.

[Darkamazon3000]

Much respect for the ref. With that cut he still wanted to go and separate them.

[chrishunes14]

ou that's hard!!!!!ou...

like zednik but not so bad!!! p.s downie'll be the next tie domi!:D:D:D

[lovergirl3497]

i actually saw this on TV i thought it was kinda funny! dude my friend and i will never stop talin bout this one! there was like a trail of blood leadin to where he was goin! but anyway tht was really kool and bad! but anyway....

LETS GO FLYERS!!!!!!!

[AmeriCanadian39]

if anyone actually thinks the NHL is going to force players to wear full face-masks it ain't gonna happen, that's just not hockey, if they start enforcing rules like that the NHL is gonna start turning into a pansy ass league, full of divers and shit. Like soccer.

[55Porter]

Doesn't matter. Every other league makes their players wear them now, so by the time they get to the NHL, they're used to wearing them and they keep them on. I bet within 5-10 years ALL NHL players will wear visors except for maybe a couple of fighters on each team.

[BlazinAsian2116]

thats by friends uncle i saw him he looks like shit

[gaborikwild10]

these thing are only accidents but that was a hard hit by the skate theve all been accidents this one the zednik incedent and the gaborik one gaborik just hit moreau and his skate came up and hit moreau.

[DSSScooby]

This and Zedneks are just freak incidents. Simon Gagne was interviewed and he said "It's just part of the game, you'll never be perfectly safe."I agree.

[spongeboy666]

fuck hockey needs full face masks or some shit cause people are getting fucked and can potencialy lose thier lives

[witzont]

wow! so many horrible injuries. this one, malarchuks, zedniks

[darkreef]

even injured still doing his job

[zubizuva]

Even the refs are tough as nails. Gotta love it.

[FAS13GAS]

holy good thing it wasn't as bad as Clint Malarchuk's or richard Zednk's
