Tonight, San Diego Gulls forward Brian McGrattan was knocked out cold in a fight by Daniel Maggio of the San Antonio Rampage in an American Hockey League game.
It's an ugly incident, you never want to see anyone get hurt on the ice. Yet, you have fans still cheering while McGrattan is laying on the ice. The anti-fighting cabal will use this as evidence that fighting has no room in any level of hockey.
It's incidents like this that will give credence to their argument. Thankfully, McGrattan is conscious and appears to be okay. I would imagine that he will not be playing anytime soon.
INJURY UPDATE: Brian McGrattan is conscious, alert and has full movement.
