Video: Donald Brashear Knockout Punch - Capitals vs. Bruins 3/8/08

YES! I found it…I finally found it!

After some extensive searching I have found the video I was looking for.

I saw this highlight on Sportscenter the other night and was amazed.

The Boston Bruins faced-off against the Washington Capitals on March 8 and the game was host to several fights and scrums.

This clip however, takes the cake for me.

Donald Brashear has been known to fight…often. In this little clip right here, he gives Shane Hnidy a knockout blow directly to the face!

Granted, Brashear had just gotten a double minor for high-sticking, so Hnidy had a right to defend his teammate. But, c’mon, you gotta defend yourself better than that, Hnidy!

“I saw [Hnidy] coming at me, and I lost my cool,” Brashear said. “I didn’t mean to punch him that hard. … Stuff like that happens, but it was a mistake and you have to control your emotions.“

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did…
