Bmwolf21 Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Wow, until that left hook Mitchell was really getting the better of the fight. Count me in the Iginla fan club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two or less Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Iginla does it all. I hope he wins the Cup one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpandean Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Between Iginla's jersey there and Mair's jersey today, I'm thinking Reebok needs to use tougher material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FogBat Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 is my favorite shot on the button. :worthy: Now that is what I call "ONE SHOT ONE KILL!!!" I just knew that once I saw the names Downey and Boulerice that I'd heard about this fight before. BTW, should Jesse Boulerice change his name to Kimbo Slice?

Oh, to relive those glory days when NOBODY (not our fellow Sabrespace member) messed with us. Bougher, Ray, May, Barnaby. Our own version of the Hanson Brother.

IIRC, they did miss the playoffs that year. However, I know that some hockey writers stated that that particular team made every team earn their two points because of the goon squad that we possessed at the time. Having said that, it is a reminder of the toughness that we desperately need on our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still say that's crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Iginla is the kind of player a team can only dream of having. He is truly the total package and you pay him whatever it takes to ensure that he never wears another teams jersey. PS I hate seeing videos of Ray or other Sabres who actually knew how to fight, knowing what we have now. <_< PS2 Another good one punch knockout without even grabbing hold of the opponent. http://hockeyfights.com/fights/43083 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PuckBunnies Anonymous Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 I like the fact that both guys ripped off their helmets. I wish the agitators who start stuff wouldn't hide behind their visors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickshaw Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Iginla is awesome. Plain and simple. He didn't win that fight though. If that one punch happened at the beginning when it would have had tonnes of steam on it, it could have been devastating. Mitchell won the bought imo, but it was a great tilt. Now check out this clip of Rick Rypien, same game, doing the Flame player. Love the guys who can switch hands at will. The Flame dude had no idea what was going on.

I still say that's crazy. Just telling you what the hockey writers wrote about the fact that that year's Sabres, in spite of missing the playoffs, made other teams earn their two points. It wasn't my take on it - it was theirs. IIRC there are a couple of facts about that team as well - even if it is useless trivia: they led the league in PIM's that season, and Ted Nolan was the bench boss. What can I say? Even though Mike Tyson never fought in Buffalo (that I know of), we could at least count on a fight card for each and every Sabres home game that season.

Gone are the days of John Ferguson, Tiger Williams, Bob Probert, Tie Domi, Tony Twist, Stu Grimson, and our own Rayzor. I even lament over this.

I wish the agitators who start stuff wouldn't hide behind their visors. I think the visors should be "tear away" and removed prior to a fight, but removing your helmet is downright stupid. Watching what Kaleta did to Witt, Witt could have easily hit his head on the ice and been hurt seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching what Kaleta did to Witt, Witt could have easily hit his head on the ice and been hurt seriously. I say this with all due respect, but Bill Masterton did not wear a helmet when he played his final game for the Minnesota North Stars (and players wearing helmets was not common in those days). On the other hand, when Marty McSorley swung his stick at Donald Brashear, Brashear's helmet popped off (I think) as he was about to hit his head on the ice. Brashear wound up getting a concussion from that incident, and the rest is history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't my take on it - it was theirs. I wasn't disputing that part ... I agree that team made other teams work. It also lost a lot and missed the playoffs ... I'm disputing you calling that the "glory days" ... Like Ink said, maybe your priorities are different, but for me winning games comes first. We need more toughness than we had last year, but seems like you would be happy with last year's results if only there were more fights ... I just can't get my head around that. To each his own, i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
