A Little Piece Of History

A beauty! Too bad this does not happen anymore...unless you watch baseball or basketball.

Why on earth would they make the dressing room only accessible through the other teams bench?

Roy and Skrudland running down the hallway is classic. BTW I was 10.

I find it kinda funny that everyone finds it great that Chris Nilan sucker punched Paul Boutilier. If this had been a video of Jay Miller sucker punching Matts Naslund, everyone on here would be up in arms about how Miller was a cheapshot artist, and how he refused to go Nilan who was being held back by the refs.

I love Chris Nilan, but that was cheap.

Having said that, Boston Gardens was the place everyone hated to play. As you can see where the players come in, is not a good situation. And like Nilan said, beer and other debris was always thrown at you. It has always been like that as well. I remember a Montreal Goalie, not sure if it was Gump Worsely or Charlie Hodge, who had a beer dumped on him coming through the crowd. After a stoppage in play either the ref or one of the players on the ice had got close to him and smelt the booze and asked if he'd been drinking.

So I can understand why Nilan would have been agitated. But fight Jay Miller. Don't sucker punch Paul Boutilier.

Few other things I find interesting. Ray Bourque was wearing #7, before Phil Esposito's retirement, and his switch to #77. That puke Kenny Linseman who looks like he uses his stick to try and spear Nilan after Nilan gives him the hand to the face.

And I as 9 when this happened.

Boutilier got what was coming to him. What was he thinking looking away like that when he was grappling with a guy like Chris Nilan? When you grapple with someone, you don't start looking around. You focus on the guy grabbing your sweater. Idiotic to look away like that.

Ok, so Montreal's tough guys are considered to be Souray, Rivet, and Downey. They truly don't have a tough guy. So anybody involved in some extra-curricular activity after the whistle should be expected to be punched in the head when their latched onto one of the above?

Thats just nonsense. I remember everybody bitching and complaining on here when Chara punched Ivanans last year after a fight that broke Ivanas jaw. ITs a joke. I'd love to see McGratton, or Andrew Peters deck somebody like that this year watch everybody go banana's.

Yes Boutiler should have been paying attention, but to say its his fault is obtuse

Patrick had that passion which made him great (and which we sorely missed after he left)....same with Lemieux, same with Chelios, same with Skrudland..............

It wasn't a fight until Nilan threw the punch. It was two guys holding onto each other....umm...ok that sounds bad.
