Vincent Arseneau a former prospect for the Bruins is no stranger to fighting, and on Friday he went viral after a video of him being involved in a spirited fight surfaced on social media during a game in the AHL.
Fights aren't so common around the NHL anymore, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen anymore, especially in the AHL where it's more common, as players are trying to make names for themselves to make an NHL roster. Friday former Boston Bruins prospect was involved in one of the best we have seen in awhile where Vincent Arseneau and Kale Kessy both were involved in a spirited fight.
This brought some controversy though, as fans believe it is not a smart idea to fight with helmets on as it could lead to breaking fingers or hands.
Immediately after the fight was posted to social media, there was another video posted showing Arseneau looking at his broken fingers after throwing some haymakers during the fight, and you can see him snap them right back into place.
This is a hard watch, viewers discretion advise:
It's not often you see a player break his fingers during a fight, let alone pop them back into place right after the fight, but this just proves that NHL players are built different.
Vincent Arseneau played for the Providence Bruins last year during the 2023-24 season, and would appear in 44 games for the team putting up 6 goals, 3 assists for 9 points during his time with the team, along with 89 penalty minutes.
