00:00 The NHL has seen its fair share of controversial moments, but some stand out for their outright
00:08 disrespect.
00:09 From players hating on opponents to coaches throwing insults, the league has seen some
00:13 truly ugly incidents.
00:15 Where all the incidents have been captured in the NHL?
00:18 Let's get into our video.
00:20 Ryan Kessler and the Ducks Viewers, we all know that Ryan Kessler is
00:25 a retired professional ice hockey player who spent most of his career playing for the Vancouver
00:29 Canucks.
00:30 However, during the 2017-2018 NHL season, Kessler played for the Anaheim Ducks, and
00:36 he had a few controversial moments during his time with the team, particularly in his
00:41 interactions with the Calgary Flames.
00:43 What was it?
00:44 To talk in depth about it, let's move back a little bit.
00:47 The Calgary Flames had a remarkable home-winning streak during the 2008-2009 NHL season, winning
00:54 11 consecutive games at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
00:57 How intriguing!
00:58 Meanwhile, the score was 3-1 in favor of the Ducks, and there was just under a minute
01:03 remaining in the third period.
01:05 Ryan Kessler was determined to help his team secure a victory and was constantly chasing
01:09 down the puck, disrupting the Flames' play, and trying to make scoring opportunities.
01:15 As the clock ticked down, the Flames pulled their goaltender to get an extra attacker
01:19 on the ice, hoping to even the score.
01:22 However, the Ducks' defense remained, preventing any Flames scoring opportunities.
01:27 Furthermore, with just 20 seconds remaining in the game, the puck was cleared out of the
01:32 Ducks' defensive zone, and Kessler immediately started chasing it down.
01:36 Kessler skated with incredible speed and determination toward the Flames' net.
01:40 The Flames' defense was caught off guard and was unable to catch up to him.
01:45 As he approached the net, he took a shot with all of his might, sending the puck flying
01:49 toward the empty net.
01:50 The puck sailed toward the net and crossed the goal line just as the buzzer sounded.
01:54 The crowd erupted in cheers as the Ducks secured their victory.
01:58 Ryan Kessler had managed to score a goal in the dying seconds of the game, adding to his
02:03 team's lead and sealing their win.
02:05 Despite the game already being won, Ryan Kessler's play was still significant.
02:10 Scoring a goal in the dying seconds of the game not only added to his team's confidence,
02:15 but also demoralized the Flames.
02:17 The Flames were not happy with this.
02:19 Everyone flies in and jumps on Ryan Kessler, filling in him with punches.
02:24 The Flames had no choice, only they could react in this particular manner.
02:28 2.
02:30 Commentator John Garrett We all know that John Garrett, a well-known
02:33 sports commentator, recently made a significant mistake that resulted in a disrespectful situation.
02:39 The incident began when Garrett was providing commentary during a live game between Vancouver
02:44 Canucks and the Colorado Avalanche.
02:46 During the game, he made a racially insensitive comment about one of the players on the court,
02:51 which quickly went viral on social media.
02:53 Garrett's comment was not only disrespectful, but also extremely offensive to the player
02:58 in question and his community.
03:00 As a public figure and a commentator, Garrett should have been more responsible with his
03:04 words, especially since he is in a position of influence and has a platform that reaches
03:09 a wide audience.
03:10 John Garrett said the shout-out word.
03:12 The player and his team immediately responded to Garrett's comment, calling him out for
03:16 his insensitive remarks.
03:18 The team released a statement expressing their disappointment and calling for Garrett to
03:22 apologize for his behavior.
03:23 The incident sparked a broader conversation about the importance of diversity, equity,
03:28 and inclusion in sports media.
03:30 Garrett initially attempted to defend his comment, arguing that it was taken out of
03:34 context and that he did not intend to offend anyone.
03:37 However, he soon realized the gravity of his mistake and issued a public apology for his
03:42 behavior.
03:43 He did the right thing.
03:44 What do you guys think of it?
03:45 He acknowledged that his words were hurtful and apologized to the player, his team, and
03:50 the broader community.
03:52 3.
03:53 Brad Marchand We have heard Brad Marchand once in our life.
03:56 He is a star player for the Boston Bruins in the National Hockey League (NHL).
04:01 However, a recent incident involving Marchand's comments about a fellow player has led to
04:06 a situation of disrespect and controversy in the NHL.
04:10 The incident occurred during a game between the Bruins and the Vancouver Canucks on March
04:14 6, 2023.
04:17 During the game, Marchand was caught on camera licking the face of Canucks player Elias
04:21 Pedersen, which was seen as a disrespectful and unsportsmanlike gesture by many in the
04:26 hockey community.
04:28 After the game, Marchand was asked about the incident by reporters, and his response only
04:33 added to the controversy.
04:34 He stated that he licked Pedersen because he "wanted to get in his head" and that
04:38 it was a "mind game" tactic he had used before.
04:41 He also added that he didn't see what the big deal was and that he was "just having
04:46 some fun out there."
04:47 How gross!
04:48 Brad Marchand's comments were met with widespread criticism and backlash from fans, players,
04:53 and media alike.
04:55 Many people saw his actions and comments as disrespectful and unprofessional, not only
04:59 towards Pedersen, but to the game of hockey as a whole.
05:02 What do you guys think of this action?
05:04 Comment below!
05:06 Some even called for the NHL to take disciplinary action against Marchand for his behavior.
05:11 4.
05:12 Brock Nelson
05:13 On March 8, 2022, during an NHL game between the New York Islanders and the Carolina Hurricanes,
05:19 Islanders forward Brock Nelson scored a goal and proceeded to pat the head of Hurricanes
05:24 defenseman Brady Sky in a seemingly condescending manner.
05:28 The act quickly drew criticism and condemnation from fans, media, and the Hurricanes players,
05:34 coaches, and management, who perceived it as disrespectful, unsportsmanlike, and even
05:39 racist.
05:40 Generally, head patting is a complex and context-dependent behavior that can convey different meanings
05:45 depending on the context, the relationship, and the cultural norms.
05:49 In sports, head patting makes it seem like you are addressing someone as a kid.
05:53 Furthermore, the incident sparked a heated debate on social media and sports forums,
05:58 with some defending Nelson's actions as harmless and playful, while others denouncing
06:03 them as insensitive and offensive.
06:05 Some argued that the head pat was a common hockey gesture, used to acknowledge a good
06:09 play or congratulate a teammate, and that it was not intended to demean or insult Sky
06:15 or the Hurricanes.
06:16 Others countered that the gesture was inappropriate and inappropriate in the context, given the
06:21 tense history between the Islanders and the Hurricanes.
06:24 Pretty insane, right?
06:26 5.
06:27 Nikita Kucherov Do you know that a controversial incident
06:29 occurred involving Nikita Kucherov and Brett Conley?
06:32 The incident resulted in Kucherov receiving an unsportsmanlike penalty and sparked a debate
06:38 about what constitutes acceptable behavior on the ice.
06:41 The incident occurred in the second period of the game, with the Lightning leading the
06:45 Capitals 2-0.
06:46 Kucherov, a star forward for the Lightning, was skating with the puck in the offensive
06:51 zone when Conley, a forward for the Capitals, approached him from behind.
06:56 As Kucherov turned to pass the puck, Conley appeared to trip him with his stick, causing
07:01 Kucherov to stumble.
07:02 In response, Kucherov turned and kicked Conley with his skate blade, making contact with
07:07 his leg.
07:08 The kick appeared to be deliberate and was visible on the television broadcast of the
07:12 game.
07:13 Immediately following the incident, the referee assessed a two-minute minor penalty to Kucherov
07:18 for unsportsmanlike conduct.
07:20 The penalty was met with mixed reactions from fans and analysts.
07:24 Some argued that Kucherov's actions were unacceptable and deserve a harsher punishment, while others
07:30 pointed to the fact that Conley had tripped Kucherov, and suggested that the kick was
07:34 a justified response.
07:36 The NHL's Department of Player Safety reviewed the incident but ultimately decided not to
07:41 issue any further discipline to Kucherov.
07:44 Despite the lack of additional punishment, the incident sparked a broader conversation
07:48 about sportsmanship and respect in hockey.
07:51 Many argued that kicking or other forms of physical retaliation have no place in the
07:55 sport and that players should always strive to maintain a level of professionalism and
08:00 respect for their opponents.
08:02 Pretty insane, right?
08:03 However, it is argued that hockey is a physical game and that some level of aggression and
08:07 retaliation is to be expected.
08:10 6.
08:12 Matt Cook
08:13 The incident involving Matt Cook and Eric Carlson occurred in February 2013 and was
08:18 widely reported in the media at the time.
08:20 The craziest part is that the incident began during a lecture, when Carlson made a comment
08:25 that Cook found offensive.
08:27 Cook later stated that Carlson had made a derogatory comment about women, which prompted
08:31 Cook to shout out a response.
08:33 Carlson then allegedly confronted Cook and physically pushed him, causing him to fall
08:37 backward and hit his head on the ground, which we could see in the NHL match.
08:41 Moreover, Cook was briefly unconscious and suffered a concussion, as well as other injuries.
08:47 Matt Cook also stated that from his history the act is completely believable that Carlson
08:51 did it on purpose.
08:53 After the incident, Cook filed a police report and Carlson was charged with battery.
08:57 The case went to trial and Carlson was found guilty of misdemeanor battery.
09:02 He was sentenced to three years of probation and community service and ordered to pay restitution
09:06 to Cook for his medical expenses.
09:08 The incident received widespread media attention.

09:12 Dave Boland and Sadeen Twinn
09:15 As we are getting into the last segment of our video, I am going to mention two notable
09:19 examples.
09:20 They are Dave Boland and Sadeen Twinn.
09:23 Well, Dave Boland is a former NHL player who spent 12 seasons in the lead, playing for
09:28 the Chicago Blackhawks, Florida Panthers, and Arizona Coyotes.
09:33 While Boland was known for his offensive prowess on the ice, he was also known for his poor
09:37 attitude and disrespect towards officials and opposing players.
09:42 One particular incident that stands out occurred during a game in the 2013-2014 season when
09:48 Boland was playing for the Coyotes.
09:50 In a game against the Anaheim Ducks, Boland became frustrated with the referees after
09:54 they called a penalty on him for tripping an opposing player.
09:58 Boland was given a game misconduct penalty and was subsequently suspended for one game
10:02 by the league.
10:03 8.
10:04 Sadeen Twinn was also known for his disrespectful behavior towards his players and the media.
10:09 One notable incident occurred during a press conference in the 2017-2018 season when Twinn
10:15 was asked about a recent loss by his team.
10:18 In response, Twinn began to berate the reporter who asked the question, using profanity and
10:23 making personal attacks against him.
10:25 Twinn's behavior drew widespread criticism from the media and fans, with many calling
10:29 for him to be fired from his coaching position.
10:32 The behavior of both Boland and Twinn is unacceptable in the NHL and any professional setting.
10:38 Moreover, disrespectful behavior not only reflects poorly on the individual but also
10:42 on their team and the league as a whole.
10:44 It is worth noting that the NHL has taken steps to address disrespectful behavior among
10:49 players and coaches.
