Schultz Honored, Pulls Dale Rolfe’s Hair
Posted by BMT on November 17th, 2009
Dave “the Hammer” Schultz was inducted into the Flyers Hall of Fame last night, or something like that. I was at the game and while the ceremony went on for 10 minutes I was struggling to get a Tanqueray on the rocks from a surly club box bartender. In honor of Schultz and his Way-of-the-Samurai approach to hockey, we thought we’d post a few videos of some of the better fights in recent memory.
- Calgary toughguy, Dion Phaneuf, bows out of this one.
- One of the most vicious fights you’ll see. This is the kind of thing that solidifies the idea that there is nobody tougher than a hockey player (Swedes and Finns excepted).
- Ditto. Can you imagine anything like this ever happening in an NBA game? Well, we probably wouldn’t know anyway since nobody would be there to see it.
- Clash of the Titans.
- The definition of a riot. This gets so out of hand that the officials just leave. The best part, though, is when they try to stop it by turning the lights off in the arena.
- The biggest cheapshot ever, provided by the dirtiest player in NHL history. Of all people, though, Ulf Samuelsson had it coming.
- I sort of feel bad picking on Sami Kapanen on this one because he’s scrambled eggs. And because this isn’t really a fight. But it’s funny.
- And finally, Jordin Tootoo destroys Stephane Robidas with one punch.
