GoodBye Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 All I can say is wow.... 642029[/snapback] Yeah, wow.... I've been to some hockey games but haven't seen anything like that.
Wacka Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 I remember one time when we were playing Quebec, Dale Hunter takes out several of Mike Ramsey's remaining teeth with his stick and gets only 2 minutes. The next game, a brawl started BEFORE the opening faceoff! I remember there were several game nisconducts and I think at least 160 minutes in total penalties.
slothrop Posted March 26, 2006 Author Posted March 26, 2006 The white team is a bunch of pussies. 642369[/snapback] That is exactly what I was thinking - I was also wondering what the officials were thinking while it was going on. At some point they must have just said - "ah, F&@# it!" and let them riot until their heart's content.
Wacka Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 For those of you younger than say 40, you won't remember this one , but Jim Schoenfeld got in some great fights in one game. in 1972 (I think) Sabres were playing in Buffalo against Boston. Back then you could get in 3 fights before being thrown out. Schoney was a rookie and Boston wanted to intimidate him. He fought Carol Vadnais,(sp), Bobby Orr, and Wayne Cashman. He won all three fights. The one with Cashman was memorable. They were fighting right by the Zamboni entrance. They hid the gate and it opened up. They eventually moved into the hallway and were fighting under the stands!
Alaska Darin Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 thats ridiculous, why is it necessary to beat the hell out of the other team in any sport, and they wonder where the kids get it from 642365[/snapback] And the bleeding heart liberal mentality finally blows into the thread... Sterilize the world.
meazza Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 thats ridiculous, why is it necessary to beat the hell out of the other team in any sport, and they wonder where the kids get it from 642365[/snapback] nothing wrong with fighting in hockey, i prefer hockey players exchaging fists rather than seeing a guy use his stick as a weapon which is a trend that has been growing.
IDBillzFan Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 am i the only one who hates that sh--? 642436[/snapback] No. But you know hockey...it's a great sport and all.

Who was the Bruin that chased the guy up the stairs for dumping a beer on him over the boards? I don't know why I am thinking Rick Middleton... I know it wasn't him. A little more entertaing than the Artest thingy since the Bruin chased the guy up the stairs with his skates on.
ans4e64 Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 And the bleeding heart liberal mentality finally blows into the thread... Sterilize the world. 642519[/snapback] yeah, my fault, it should be completely normal that grown men get so angry over a rubber puck that they chase each other with sticks and try to kill each other. what was i thinking

ExiledInIllinois Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Mike Millbury and Terry O'Reilly ?? 642620[/snapback] I knew somebody would remember! Some tough dudes!
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 yeah, my fault, it should be completely normal that grown men get so angry over a rubber puck that they chase each other with sticks and try to kill each other. what was i thinking 642608[/snapback] I don't think it is really that easy. You are on skates... Busting your arse for 60 minutes... Somebody gets under your skin... Hacking, poking, needling you the whole game... You are tired sweaty and exhausted... I am gonna take you out if you get near my face with that piece of wood. There is only so much one can take. But... Then again... It is OKAY when a Sabre gets under one's skin...
Alaska Darin Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 yeah, my fault, it should be completely normal that grown men get so angry over a rubber puck that they chase each other with sticks and try to kill each other. what was i thinking 642608[/snapback] What, couldn't figure out a way to work in the "it's for the children" angle again? Those who don't understand it criticize it. Hockey is the most honest of all sports, allowing those who talk trash or play the game outside the rules to pay for their transgressions. What was on that video was sad because it had the worst behavior possible. Guys who swing their sticks or who jump into a one-on-one tussle with cheap shots are not revered by their teammates. That gives people like you a chance to jump in with your ridiculous "and we wonder where our kids get it" thing, regardless of the fact that such things are incredibly rare. Maybe I'm crazy because I think it's such situations that give the best parents a chance to work their magic. I would put the average youth hockey player up against any other sport for the way they behave (on and off the ice). Because unlike other sports, they know there's a price to be paid for acting like a tool.

Schoenfeld didn't do a whole hell of a lot of fighting after the trip to the 75 finals.

Who was the Bruin that chased the guy up the stairs for dumping a beer on him over the boards? 642596[/snapback] Terru OReilly ran into the Rangers stands, attacked the guy, took the guys shoe off and started beating him over the dead with his own shoe

Benedict Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Terru OReilly ran into the Rangers stands, attacked the guy, took the guys shoe off and started beating him over the dead with his own shoe 643059[/snapback] I think he jumped the glass. And that was not just a shoe, but a Maxwell Smart telephone.
