Fight Instigation: Fight Highlights
DC_1908:
Here's an examples of why Probie is the best, why the old Norris division was the greatest, why Mickey Redman is the Ernie Harrell and Vin Scully of hockey, how the game used to be played by men, and how misconducts always where crap calls . . .
Sticktaps to Cochrane stying in it and not dying . . .

this great clip came up today, (sometimes I love the ‘Youtube algorithm’)
The best punch is at 4:51, followed by a great shot of The Captain having “another day at the office”, discussing multiple penalties with the ref 🤣

An excellent defensive play by one of the best. I have nothing but respect for Fedorov. He took pride in playing a complete game. One of the few stars in the league that actually played defense.
As for the other guy. I was never a fan of Gretzky. Great offensive player, great playmaker and great vision but he didnt play a complete game.

I've said that Fedorov was THE greatest all around player to ever play since 1994. The only player to score 50 and win a Selke, the oney player to score 100pts and win the Selke twice, tied the record or fastest skater held by Olympic speed skater Mike Gartner, won fastest skater twice, won the hardest shot, as the most career overtime points, and equally impressive: played EVERY position: C, LW,RW, and D, in any situation. . .
No one in his generation, (even The Captain), particularly Gretzky and definitely Lumpy could come close to that . . . and no-one has since.
He didnt fight often, but when he did it was impressive for someone who played most of his career in international competition coming into the NHL in late 80s and early 90s
