Philadelphia vs. Montreal Pregame Brawl 1987

[kevykevkmk1605]

Let's go flyers!

[lonislonisloins]

Did a Canadien throw a single punch?

[bigpoppa2112]

do you think after awhile the rest of the nhl got bored beating nilan up all the time?

[leafyutube]

Good old fashioned brouhaha. This is the way hockey was meant to be played.

[tinytot258]

i like how the habs are the least respected team out of the original six

[rhys2112]

Fucking Frenchies, glad they got their ass kicked.

[thedudedude56]

im watching and think were are the refs then i saw the title!

[BaseFury]

Punks.

I know they still long for the days that Schultz, Dupont and Clarke could play the dirtiest hockey in the history of the game. Two on one, three on one, etc.

Punks.

[TricolourPictures]

LOL flyers are such fags.

[misterb0071]

Faggot Flyers look like niggers in the city trying to steal purses

[keens1221]

@misterb0071 Did you happen to throw a banana at Wayne Simmonds the other day?

[sportyspot123]

at least those were clean fights... no cheap shot like Pacioretty on Eaton or Chara on Pacioretty

[mrnhl100]

did they acctually play lol

[hounderdawg]

Now this is the hockey i grew up on!!! Love the organ still playing in the background.

[rhastaman1960]

Well I guess you gotta get warmed up.

[SanguineSkies]

Habs fans hate the Flyers because Philly doesn't play like little girls. Montreal needs to stop whining and get some muscle in. Or at least stop cheap-shotting other players. I'm not trying to point fingers, though...Mr. Kostitsyn.

[POLAR890]

the flyers were and still are a bunch of scumbags.

[dmnau]

Hahaha))) Flyers are crazy fucking animals in all times)))))))))))

[ZaWARLDOU]

Montreal: Once a bunch a fags still a bunch of fags

Why would they shoot the puck into the opposing teams nets before the game like that

[looneyleprachaun]

this is what the nhl is missing, bitter rivalries, gary bettman has no clue on how to run the nhl

[blackwlf761]

@looneyleprachaun lol there trying to appeal to the market ,

[carmen19632001]

flyers are faggotts



[chrisegan1968]

wow claude lePuke turtling...who'd have thunk it...lmao

[PYLrulz1984]

@chrisegan1968

Its a favorite thing for that punk to do. That, and give out cheap shots, only to run and hide like a bitch

[LLB1800]

I remember turning on the channel this game was on, and they were showing the ice all littered with sticks and gloves :) Everybody was like, WTF lol... Years later, I read (in Gene Hart's book) they literally locked Ron Hextall in the locker room ha ha... I miss the good old days, when fighting wasn't a felony... :)

[spyro74]

hahahahahaha montrrealans crack me up

[tnc07232008]

@spyro74 I am from montreal and you better believe it I would really crack you up.

[spyro74]

@tnc07232008 you already have with your reply. it's too bad you guys don't get first dibs on canadian players anymore. how will you ever beat us again????? hahahaha

[tnc07232008]

@spyro74 hey greek dip shit....I meant crack your head open.

[JohnnyInHampton]

Ed Hospadar is the GREATEST Hockey Player ever with the exception of Gordie Howe!

[colinMN1860]

haha what a bunch of goons

[raze203]

and the organist kept on playing... awesome

[Gojira444]

Claude Lemieux Conn Smythe Trophy Winner. In the words of Ric Flair. Whether you Like it! Or you Dont like it! Lean to Love it! WHOOOOOOOOO LETS GO DEVILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[illicitstill]

The Flyers sure haven't changed much over the years.

[detroitkillers313]

haha

[Liproll]

On one hand - great entertainment for the crowd.

On the other hand - gotta laugh when our species is referred to as "civilized".

We´re barely out of the jungle, folks. ;)

[whokeithmoon]

@Liproll shut up, and where is my banana

[pkpaulkersey]

what set this brawl off I can't tell in the video?

[randomlena101]

Every pre game Cluade Limeux would take a puck and score on the opposing team during shooting practice

Clearly the Flyers didnt apreciate that

[PYLrulz1984]

Claude is just nothing more than a slimeball who needed beat every chance a player got.

All Claude ever did was cheapshot, turtle, and cheapshot again

[joeyjoeyjoey12345]

@PYLrulz1984 i have to admit as a habs fan beside scoring clutch goals lemieux was a dirty player, he turtled and oh my god that cheap shot on draper in 96 was so bad no need for those kind of hits.

[acdcrocksno1]

canadians had a tradition of shooting into empty net at beginning of game we said if they did it there would be consequences they brought it on themselves

[ChrisDutch]

@acdcrocksno1 AWWWW did da big, bad Canadiens shoot da widdle puck into da pwecious widdle flers goal and da widdle Flers got all sad faced about it?

[igglesgirl419]

@ChrisDutch I think you meant to say: awwww did da widdle bitty canadiens twy to shoot a widdle puck into da big, bad Flyers' net and did da widdle canadiens get all sad and scawed that the big, bad Flyers KICKED THEIR ASSES?

[BrazenHead432]

I meant Hospodar (who wore 17 I think), not Brown wore 21.

[BrazenHead432]

Claude Lemieux and the other hammerhead (forget who it was) would wait for whatever team they were playing to go to the locker room, then they would come back out and shot pucks in their unattended net which is bullshit. Brown beat his ass for it - end of story.

[huntercalgary]

sober up brainiac.....lol

[joeslaps1]

OLD TIME HOCKEY!

[ottvalley]

Aww Bullshit.Brown knew what he was doing!!

[ottvalley]

That was dirty and unfair for brown to come out looking to fight without a jersey,everyone knows you can't fight a guy without a jersey,nothing to grab onto.He knew what he was doing and it was low.

[beansthe23]

since u kno nuthin of this brawl.all of the players were in their locker rooms gettin ready for the game to start when the brawl erupted. thats why u see many players with out their jerseys on. they came running out onto the ice to defend their respective team mates

[dildawg02]

i will tell you y

its cuz they are afraid of the Flyers

[PSonak]

why the hell did the other Montreal player just stand there and watch his teammate get the piss beat out of him? Then, when the rest of the flyers get on the ice they skate right over to the melee while the Canadians didn't appear to want any of it. What would Don Cherry say about this? He would make some dumbass excuse.

[lakeerie90s]

The Canadiens of the mid and late 1980s were the dirtiest teams in hockey history, with super goons Nilan, Kordic, Claude Lemieux, Chris Chelios. The 1986 Montreal team which bulldozed its way to the Stanley cup made the 1970s broad street bullies look like choir boys.

[canadian712]

personaly i h8 phily as a hockey team and a city they all retards i went for a trip to phily the residents are dumber and ruder then the team

[beansthe23]

at least we're not canadian eww

[darrin37]

that was gold old time hockey .. nothing more intense then a good brawl.. it got fans realy involved and i tell you nothing better then to vent your weeks frustrations then hooping it up at a hockey game.. oh and did you see robinson beat on the toughest guy in hockey then .. shultz .. and as for hockey us stupid canadians take more pride in hockey then any of you americans have for any sport down there..

[joeyjoeyjoey12345]

@darrin37 i love all old time hockey

[iggysdady]

great post. I remember this very well.

[DumpTheAir]

Hahahha whats Chico doing out there.

[xSnakeByte]

LMAO.. i did a doubletake when I saw the name.. not Chico?!?!??!?!

[oliver787878]

haha you can tell the habs dont wanna go

not surprized...

[TubaManHaney53]

First of all, that was abuot as coherent as a druken Irishman on St. Patty's Day.

And secondly, if the Canadiens are the 'best team' and the Flyers are 'so gay,' why did the Flyers beat the shit outta the Canadiens in 5 games this year?

Why did the canadiens have to play their back up goalie to start a game in the series?

God your fucking stupid.

[toball777]

Since you didn't seem to watch the series I tell you two name why the Flyers beat the shit out of the Canadiens in 5 games.

Martin Biron and R.J Umberger garbage goals. (1 or 2 of his goal was great but the others..... issshhhh... very frustrating for a Montreal fan.

BTW the Flyers are a good team.

[TubaManHaney53]

No shit. You don't think I know why the Flyers won? Wow. Umberger was the reason we beat them. . . everyone and their mother knows that. He got the bounces. When a player is on a roll everything goes in. Was he lucky? Sure. But ill take em.

But the person I replied to (davedavegrondin) said the habs are the best team. . . i had to ask him if they are the best team why the Flyers won. . . cause i wasnt sure if he knew.

I watched every damn game of that series. I bleed Orange and Black.

[joeyjoeyjoey12345]

@TubaManHaney53 well at least 1 flyer fan can speak respectfully, and not shout retarded comments. finally i listen to a flyer fan that speaks from his mouth and not his ass!!!!!!!!!!

[JellyWhiteBread]

Great sentence. Shut up, you dumb Canadian.

[generalbullmoose]

Hospodar's an idiot!

[xjerseyboy55]

low class act by the Canadiens. Don't shoot into the opposing teams empty net during warmups especially after most of the players left the ice. Probably the only goal that guy could score haha. Go Flyers.

[socceritalia77]

yeah? what about low class act by the flyers for attacking the guys first??? all they were doing was skating and then the 2 retarded flyers attacked them??? is that low enough for you??? i'm sure the only thing that flyers player was good for was attacking people right? or maybe just being a shit-disturber? or maybe just being shit. who knows, who cares about he flyers.

[TubaManHaney53]

YOU DUMB PIECE OF SHIT! GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!

Claude Lemieux and Shane Corson had a ritual of doing this. Flyers players themselves warned Lemieux and Corson that if they did it, consequences would follow.

The two players decided not to listen and got what they had coming.

You NEVER do anything to piss off a Flyer's team with the likes of:

Brown, Tocchet, Hospodar, Nachbaur, and Stanley all on the ice.

So you stupid piece of shit. Get your facts straight next time b4 you talk.

[lucybrown1]

Exactly, this is why this happened. The Flyers were not going to allow this ritual to happen and the brawl insued.

[ghettoTV1]

so? you dont jump on the ice during warmup and attack players u dumb shit for doing that

[werekid]

... yes you do. What kind of pampas arrogant ass shoots into an empty net before a game? It's a really cool thing to do, he's a really cool guy for doing that. (sarcasm galore on that last sentence.)

[joeyjoeyjoey12345]

@werekid why does anybody care if somebody shoots a puck in the net or not it's not like the goalie was there or anybody else, why is there a problem with this unless which ever hab player did it because he knew it annoyed the flyer player's.

[newfiefab]

@TubaManHaney53 pretty sure hospodar ended up on his back,,the the others came out..why didnt hospodar go after corson ,a kid that could fight?...montreal could take care of themselves..kordic..nilan..cor­son..momesso..robinson..no slouches..fun to watch..both sides talking shit..both were tough teams..

[metalhead1818]

Just goes to show how tough hockey players are ... a brawl before the game ... cant w8 to see what happened during the game!

[werekid]

The Flyers won, it was game 6, we went to the Stanley Cup.

[joeyjoeyjoey12345]

@werekid then lost to the edmonton oilers u were so close but lost!!!!!!!!!!

[ryanslsd]

French Canadians are assholes and pussy's go Flyers

[newfiefab]

@ryanslsd arentt brierre and and gagne french canadians?..

[meltz911]

serious disrespect leads to ass kicking.

[bretdee]

i love the flyers!

[Theetoie]

lets go flyers!

[OnlineNBored]

Man I LOVE those Orange Jerseys. When are the Flyers going to break away from the 90's Cliche and get RID of those Ugly black Jerseys? LETS GO FLYERS!

[bart47472002]

Big Pistols should know his hockey and realize that he's an ass.

Philadelphia Fans know their sports, they don't appreciate piss poor play, No matter what freaking sport.

[bigpistols]

like I said, these IDIOTS in philly have Canadian players and they still booed the Canadian national anthem. the city has no class, no wonder the murder rate is so high in that shit infested town. the city is filled with fat obnoxious cheese steak eating imbeciles. ohhh! almost forgot to mention...what happened to the Philadelphia 76ers? they LOST!!!! ha ha ha ha ha!!! LOSERS!

[danzig73079]

I guess you didn't hear the Canadian fans boo the U.S. National Anthem when they were playing Boston.

Don Cherry even said those fans were low class.

[QuarterMileTheMovie]

Well those IDIOTS have American players and they still booed the American national anthem. I almost forgot to mention...what happened to the Montreal Canadians? they LOST!!!! ha ha ha ha ha!!! LOSERS!

[shutout0027]

bigpistols=douche and a bigger douche is Guy Carboneau. he has the audacity to complain about the refs after he was on the powerplay for the whole third period of game 3. If Montreal cant handle the physical play go try curling i hear thats a fun game you bunch of cry babies. LETS GO FLYERS

[danzig73079]

Chico Resch was the man! It's so funny that he was the second Flyer involved. The coach wouldn't let Hextall go out.

[bigpistols]

LET'S GO CRYERS!(clap clap clap clap clap clap). LET'S GO CRYERS!(clap clap clap clap clap clap).

bring it on IDIOTS! keep living in the past because the FLYERS have no future (LOL!). I pray to God the CRYERS win this round so I can walk in that toilet bowl of a town with my Jersey on for game 3 and 4 in the next round. it will be a pleasure to laugh in everybody's mother's faces in that wachovia center. so there...I gave a hint that Montreal is not my team.

[boppinbeeker]

bet you feel like a bit of a shithead, huh...

[jobocco]

bigpistols- Philly fans know enough about hockey to know that your girls couldn't win even when the ref tried to hand them games 3 & 4. I give your sisters credit for winning game 1 on a high-stick goal and a gift penalty call against Richards at the end. Whats it feel like to lose even when the refs are on your bench? Watchin Biron stone you chicks must feel like watchin your momma bangin a polar bear

[jeepercreepermd]

hey bigpistols, stop crying like a typical canadian douchbag. except the fact that the habs are failing miserably against the flyers and briere is doing waaaay better with us than he would have if he went to montreal. why you french homos think you have the rights to every canadian hockey player is beyond me. you smug, uptight, arogent,canadian bag of douche. LETS GO FLYERS!!!!!!!

[joeyjoeyjoey12345]

@jeepercreepermd #1 if anybody is arrogant it's americans, canadians are very humble and don't start calling names because bigpistols makes a valid point. point is that philadelphia only has one 1 championship in i don't know how long the phillies , and as for the flyers with that old school brod streetbully crap they'll never win a cup,

[bigpistols]

vfbrasschops, tell me when was the last time your pathetic city won a championship. those flyers from the 80's, 90's and 2000's won NOTHING! keep supporting your losers of a hockey team. the series isn't over, so stop being over confident asshole. even if you win this series, that mediocre flyers team overachieved and won't even taste a shot at a stanley cup. PHILADELPHIA SUCKS!

[bunnyranchusa]

We'll have a better shot than your shitty Canadiens, queer.

[bigpistols]

FUCK THE FLYERS!!!!!!! the city of philadelphia is filled with stupid fans who always bitch about the refs when they don't win. they will never win a championship. POOR LOSERS!!!!HA! HA! HA!

[vfbrasschops]

I like your handle BigPistols.... Is that what you'd like to do to Flyers? You stinking Fifi French homo!

Le Habs were one of the dirtiest teams in hockey .....Cheap shot Chelios! And the last time I looked the Flyers had already won several Stanley Cups ....

Can you say 3-1? Enjoy your summer loser!

[danzig73079]

Aww, how about if I take you to McDonalds and get you some french cries.

[sidkay]

I don't think it really matters in this case to call people racist names the players on any given team can be from anywhere in the world.good fight though!!!

[silkcity19]

The Box car whipped all those French pussies

[newfiefab]

@silkcity19 did he ever win a fight in his whole career?..i could probaly kick lemieuxs ass

[phipsijuice]

Nilan cowered like a scolded dog!

[newfiefab]

@phipsijuice he was stillthrowing punches at the end..hard to fight when u have nothing to hold onto..

[phipsijuice]

Fuck all you anti-Americans! America runs the fuckin world! Go Flyer!

[hockeypimp001]

what started this?

[kyle589]

i was 7 when this happened but what i believe it was is claude lemiux or least one of the canadians had a pregame ritual to shot a puck in the opposing teams net before a game and the Flyers took offense to it and went after him.

[PYLrulz1984]

Fuck Claude Lemieux (the man who started it all).

[pjmcminn]

FROGSSSSSSS!!!!

[floorchi]

agree. whoever gave this a negative comment is stupid.

[latinchicken]

jerk offs all of you from a vaginatarian the best race of all

[revgin]

puttin on the foil

[rjmcleod24]

Funny thing is.. they never tried to go out and do their gay ritualistic shooting-it-in-our-open-net again!!

[bjdon99]

This is right out of Slapshot!

[m96m]

that was to phillyfool88 by the way

[LOKISlog7]

Isnt more than half of America population made up of illegal Mexicans? Everyone Sing: Boooorn ina Eaaaast ehL Ayyyyy....

[smelltheglove6637]

Wow, nothing has changed. The Flyers are still bums, so they gotta take shots at teams that actually WIN championships. Still a GOON SQUAD. I'm no Montreal fan but FUCK THE FLYERS!!

[phillyfool88]

fucking canada, hahah gotta score with noone in the net, canada is fucking gay, if it wasnt for america mexico would have invaded your gay country years ago.

[m96m]

another typical 28 year old american who lives in his parents basement....

go back to fearing god you moron

[CYQT]

Typical American remark. No wonder no one in this world actually gives a shit about stupid yanks.

[thierrion]

Some care enough to leave jackass remarks in YouTube comment threads...

...and according to your profile, you live here. What the fuck are you doing in MY country if you hate it so much and nobody cares about it?! Go home, jackoff. Wherever it is.

[pjmcminn]

FROGS!!!!!!!!

[floorchi]

fuck montreal! you arrogant bastards. We are going to vanquish you in hockey , then rub our asses in it and smear it on your damn frog faces.

[mrbob424]

cant we all just get along?

[THORfan7]

LOL! Keep skating backwards nilan! "RUN hab RUN"

[LOKISlog7]

LOL! Dave Brown "pwns" entire pussy-hab team! Drops nilan!

[dmnau]

Flyers FUCK OFF FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[catch2211]

As a hockey fan since the 70's, I have to defend Chris Nilan here. He did eventually engage Dave Brown in a fight and held his own in spite of being dropped once. Nilan was definitely NOT scared. Look under related videos for the video posted by hockeybooks to see the fight. Brownie did have an advantage with no shirt on, which was probably the main reason Nilan kept backing up since he would have had no leverage.

[PaulCoffey7]

chowski28: mind your own business you fucker! Canada is way better than America! Look at all the shit in your country! GW Bush is a fucking asshole, so why don't you kiss his stinky ass since you love to be American!

[PaulCoffey7]

jerome99rip: Hey Jerome, you a fucking nigger? Sounds like you are bitch! Keep your comments to yourself you little shit.

[jerome99rip]

Canadian bitches.

Hahahaha!

[PaulCoffey7]

Canadian bitches? Look who's talking you stupid yankee. STUPID AMERICAN BITCHES! FUCK YOU! Your country stinks like shit, USA---United States of Africa. hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahaha

[chowski28]

Alright, why dont u settle down there. Atleast we have more people then cows. So go back to ur room where u still live with your mom adn jerk off

[PaulCoffey7]

Shut your face fuckhead!

[XxFLYERFANXx]

Montreal somtimes

Philadelphia FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cj2112cj2112]

Nilan totally cowered from Brown on the ice that night. I can't imagine how this can even be debated.

[dome1972]

Brown didn't have a jersey of sholderpads on when he came onto the ice.  There was nothing for Nilan to hold onto. You can say a lot of things about Nilan but he was a middleweight that took on all challengers.

[mosquitomonster]

ed hospodar is # 17 for the flyers

ah ha just answered my own question

[mosquitomonster]

who is # 17 for the flyers?

whoever it was, he was pissed

[bigalloverjim]

nilan never backed down ... love the guy but he ran like a little girl whos being chased by a wolf .. . he wwas terrified ..  cheleos covered his ass.

[Forsure3333]

Who was Canadian's number 30? He was scared to death at 1:43. He can thank Chelios for showing up at that time. Lucky him!

[danmanhabfan]

sir, number 30 is chris nilan, who, by the way, has never backed down or been scarded of anybody in the league. he has fought guys twice his size , never baqcked down or scared. are u a flyer fan by chance ?

[MisterQuebec]

Nilan! Of course! I know he was afraid of nobody. I was a big Canadian fan when I was teenager in the 70's. For some reasons, my interested just dropped dramatically after the 1979 finals.

[DaveBpa]

He backed down.

[sportyfrunk]

He was going up against Dave Brown.Great fighter southpaw #21.

[MisterQuebec]

I would not want to have one of them running after me to beat me up. In despite of their age, they must still be good fighters.

[jimb4311]

why did this all start ?

[jgrewal66]

because corson and lemieux always made sure they scored the last pre game goal before leaving the ice.

The flyers just happened to get annoyed by it eventually

its all mind games

[Katieytfr]

Has there ever been a time in which, after something like this, a team STARTS the game shorthanded?

[drewfett34]

i met chico last night at the devils game =)

[Forsure3333]

I met Maurice Richard yesterday at McDonald's.

[gsardawg]

I remember watching the pregame show get cut off to show the fight - we need to being back the fighting.

[joeyjoeyjoey12345]

@gsardawg agreed i love the rough stuff hitting and fighting

[sjz11]

pussies are those who talk tuff on here...

[regretzky]

that was awesome--did Roy get fed?

[studma]

habs always were pussies

[newfiefab]

@studma was robinson a pussy when he kicked dave schulzs ass?

[joeyjoeyjoey12345]

@studma don't get wrong old time rough stuff is #1 but at the same time there has to be talent and scoring and habs had more talent scorers and not so many tough guys that's why the habs won more cups then the flyers.

[Beatles39]

Only The Flyers

[yinyang12]

love old time hockey but this was pretty low energy for the most part.  some guys were really into it but others were just kinda watching and occasionally throwing a punch

[COLETHORN10]

Hey Glenn and Ray, here it is!!!!!!!

[steveN111333]

how small is the flyers goalie ?????

[brenthow1]

You gotta love the Broad Street Bullies! The WHOLE team came out half dressed to fight.

[meiringen]

Old time hockey!

[rg3rbick]

Bettman's NHL is the opposite of this NHL and is why it sucks and no one watches.

[bissikrima]

word !

[joeyjoeyjoey12345]

@rg3rbick that's because bettman's retarded!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[islanderfan1021]

old time hockey - i love it
