Bah, that's the problem with hockey.

It's not about skill, it's about thugs.

Grumble grumble.

LOL, when has it changed??? Look at some games from the past.. There was more fighting back then, compared to now.. More people cheer for a fight then a goal these days..

Actually it's not the "face off and drop your gloves" fighting that bugs me.

It's the cheap shots like what was in the news. Any cheap shots or ambush tactics should result in ejection from the sport and criminal charges.

But if two guys want to square off, go for it.

(Plus I just wanted to give the thread a nice boost of friendly conflict

)

LOL.. i agree 100% on the 'sucker punches'.. I wont get on the Big Bert issue, cause well, i dont wanna get into that.. Let's leave that in the past.. But when two 'goons' get together on the ice and shed the gloves, you have to admit, it really gets the fans into the game and there is nothing more exciting.. (in hockey)

Bartman: i'm gonna try and find some old pics and video's of Philly games from the 70's for you.. Bobby Clarke - goon of the year.. LOL

BWSmith · 03-23-04, 04:34 PM

I hate to admit it, but I enjoyed that LOL

ChokeOnSmoke · 03-23-04, 04:35 PM

man what I would have paid to see that game..... and I'm a leafs fan
Neil really beat whoever he fought bad

chappy · 03-23-04, 04:37 PM

Awesome video bro, I think both teams are pissed because they both only have what like 3 weeks of hockey until next year?

I love seeing goalies go at it to man, like everyone else the cheapshots don't do anything for me, but the face to face scraps thats the shiznit.

Matt_K · 03-23-04, 04:47 PM

Neil fought a 2nd line forward with no Grit.. There was a big write up about that.. Martin put out a grind line against a scoring line to pick fights.. typical of Ottawa though

Here's some pics from the early years i was able to come up with..

Bobby Clarke - The Goon..

Glen Sather

Here's some newer Stuff
