As a beer league goalie, I approve!!I prefer Potvin v Hextall
In all seriousness though, I’d watch Probert v anybody. How could you not?
Before my time. But I do remember Nords vs. Flyers right after the Lindros trade. Not your regular NHL booing; LOUD booing. And for extended periods of time, not just when #88 had the puck. They probably had to retrofit Le Colisee with structural supports afterwards from the incessant vibration.
Nords got the last laugh, even though they had to wait until relocation to hoist the Cup.
Here’s the game I was thinking of, and funny thing is, this is number 8!!!! In the most penalty minutes assessed in a nhl playoff game? They had 236! PIM???? And that’s only good enough for 8th all time.... in the playoffs!!?
Ah, so Chris Phillips did do something other than score an own-goal to clinch the cup for the opposing team! Anyway, thanks for sharing this. Brawls like this are pretty anomalous post-lockout.
Being born and raised in Orange County, I am a Ducks fan. But I do like the Golden Knights on occasion...and they’re in the playoffs. So I’m rocking one of my t-shirts (not gonna wear my jersey at home). This game tonight has been a goaltending duel so far.
This is what I mean by the new "gentler" hockey. A bit of physicality and a good old brawl now and again make it worth watching.
I went to a Ducks/Predators playoffs game in Anaheim a few years ago. Had an absolute blast.
Caught an Angels game the next night, and then a lingerie football game the night after that.
Wild place, that SoCal.
Haha, you’re always welcome back. I’ll show you some spots.
There was a little restaurant/video game place kinda like a Dave and Buster’s across from the arena where the lingerie football game was. I feel like we were in Ontario for that. Anyways, we’re walking across the parking lot after the game and this dude tells us about the restaurant and says we should check it out. We didn’t have anything better to do, so we walked over there. Turns out he owned the place and the entire night was on him.
Ended up watching another Ducks game there that night, along with several beer towers and unlimited plays on classic arcade games and stuff. It was a damn good time.
Being a pens fan I have a soft spot for vegas as well as numerous ex pens have graced their roster. Most notably Fleury of course, who is standing on his head once again tonight. One of the genuinely nicest guys in the game.
Did the same and caught a pens game last time i was in Tampa. Walking in there were 25 foot tall giant cutouts of Nate Thompson and Matt Carle by the doors. A couple of Alaska kids who probably smoked pot behind the same dumpsters I did in high school after practice. 25 feet tall. Amazing.
Oh, and the pens won 3-0 ?
For sure. He can be the most quick and dynamic goaltender out there quite often. He does have a habit of giving up softies which get in his head, and he thinks he’s a better puckhandler than he is, but all that is well worth it to watch him when he’s on.
Sometimes when he is getting peppered and saving every rebound again and again it reminds me of watching Forrest Gump play ping pong.
What year was this? And why were you in Ontario? Sounds awesome to be able to watch a Ducks game and have some beer with arcade games.
2017. I was down there for business. A place I used to work had a contract manufacturer in Garden Grove, so I'd go down there a few times a year to check on things. Always had a blast down there, especially when Monkish did a release during my visit.
