[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Shit like this is why hockey is my favorite sport (aside from UFC). It's like it was designed for random fights.

Really? You're gonna post a fight between the Red Wings and the Avs without posting THE fight?

We got:
-Brawl was started by two legit first ballot hall of famers in Larionov and Forsberg instigating the fight
- Along with Larionov and Forsberg, other hall of famers who got into the action include Roy, Shanahan, and Lidstrom (though he didn't throw any punches
- Darren McCarty beating the shit out of Claude Lemieux for fracturing Kris Draper's face with a dirty hit in the playoffs the year before and Lemieux turtling like the little bitch ass coward he is
- Brendan Shanahan, who later became the director of player safety in the NHL, engaging in behavior not conductive to the safety of other players with a flying clothesline on Patrick Roy and then getting into ANOTHER fight four seconds after order was restored.
- a goalie fight

This is the only hockey fight that really matters.

Man, Todd Bertuzzi and his antics really took the piss out of the Avs/Red wings rivalry. Well, along with the Avs sucking for a decade and the wings going to the east.

if theres any franchise that can bounce back after a rebuild it's the Red Wings.. Still remember being a little ass kid and watching you embarrass the caps for even being there..

 

[TowinKarz]

Less we forget, these are people fighting WHILE skating...... it's almost an art unto itself to be able to circle your opponent landing punches, while ON SKATES.

I honestly don't know now that Mike Illitch has passed away. Before he bought the team and put a ridiculous amount of money into it, they were one of the worst teams in the NHL. Then they became the Yankees of hockey until the salary cap era. The next Steve Yzerman isn't walking through the door, unless it's the actual Steve Yzerman and they replace Holland with him.

There was a good one tonight. Figured I'd post here, since we likely won't getting more for awhile.
I can't find the lead up to this fight, but suffice to say there was a big scuffle that sent these two to the box. When they came out it was gloves off, both got 5 minute majors. I'll edit if I can find the first fight.

R.I.P Ray Emery
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ray-emery-former-nhl-goalie-drowns-hamilton-ontario-today-2018-07-15/

Former NHL goaltender Ray Emery has drowned in his hometown of Hamilton, Ontario. He played for the Philadelphia Flyers and Chicago blackhawks in the NHL. Emery was 35.

Hamilton Police said Emery was identified as the victim of the swimming accident Sunday morning. Staff sergeant Paul Evans said police received a call just after 6 a.m. that an adult swimmer did not surface and that the Niagara Police assisted in the recovery effort. Emery's body was recovered Sunday afternoon.

At 2:50 pm, HPS recovered the body of former @NHL player Ray Emery, 35. Emery was reported missing just after 6:00 am in #HamOnt harbour. His body was recovered in close proximity to where he was last seen. Family has been notified. Cause of death to be confirmed pending a PM.

Nicknamed "Razor" for his aggressive style, Emery played parts of 11 seasons with the Ottawa Senators, Philadelphia Flyers, Chicago Blackhawks and Anaheim Ducks from 2003-2015. He helped the Senators reach the Stanley Cup Final in 2007 and he played for the Blackhawks during their 2013 Stanley Cup championship season, CBS Chicago reports.

In a statement, Senators owner Eugene Melnyk said: "On behalf of the Ottawa Senators, I wish to express my sincere condolences on the passing of Ray Emery. Ray was instrumental in our run to the 2007 Stanley Cup Final, and at his best he brought a competitive edge and combative mentality to the game."

Emery dealt with off-ice problems throughout his career, including an incident of road rage, assault of a trainer in Russia and behavior that led to him being sent home from Ottawa's training camp. Teammates and executives lauded Emery's mentorship and leadership, especially in his final professional season in the American Hockey League in 2015-16.
