Yeah Graves is so great he cost his team a really good scoring chance rather than waiting five minutes to extract some "old school" hockey revenge. Genius.
Graves had the right mentality, but as far as being tough; his fight record is clouded by the lack of clout his opponents possessed. He knew his place though, and you gotta respect that.
Graves was the best. The epitome of old school hockey. Never fought for show, always sticking up for teammates. Nicest guy, but don't get him angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry. Didn't win all his fights, but never saw him outright lose either. Surprised a lot of big guys with the uppercut and his ferocity. And he could score some goals.
@AsgardPIcturesFVP u couldnt be more right.............graves was hard nosed, clean, stuck up for his teammates, and is an awesome person off the ice as well
fucking hell Kevin Collins was the worst most annoying linesman ever in the sport. stay the hell out until the fight is one sided or over. That bastard was always jumping in way too soon
Absolutely no substance to the idea he backed away from tough guys. Maybe not the greatest fighter ever but he was as tough as they come. If somebody ran Leetch or one of the other guys who don't normally fight I doubt it would have mattered who it was he was going after the guy.
I hate the Rangers but Graves was a consummate team player. Talented and stood up for his teammates. Every team needed an Adam Graves, and his number is in its rightful place in the Garden rafters.
ghytgb: Your clueless. Graves is one of the best human beings to ever walk the earth and was more than deserving to get his number retired. I wish I was more like Adam Graves.
ghytgb your a retard, he actually had 1 empty netter all season..let us all know when you manage to post eight 20+ goal seasons while also managing to organize benefits and charities for kids, and be a good teammate and hard worker, and give everybody that comes up to you the time of day no matter what your schedule is like, and respect those around you more than most people can imagine...once you can do all that, then talk shit.until then, shut the fuck up you retard
Everything a hockey player would want in a teammate; a talented yet tough guy who always stood up for his teammates. His hits were hard but almost always clean and a real class act of a man. Don't even bother mentioning him in the same sentence with a headhunter like Chris Simon. You would have to be a real malcontent or worse an islander fan to say a bad word about this man, in either case I feel sorry for you.
he wasnt even known for a goal scorer. and how about you score even 5 goals in the nhl, not 30. plus adam graves is a class act and chris simon is a complete dick.
Jeff Beukeboom would very rarely fight true tough guys. don't believe me! just look up his fights. he would go after small tough guys and big wimps. he picked his spots well for a pussy.
yeah lets look at his fight card: Bob Probert, Craig Berube, Marty Mcsorley, Jay Miller, Tie Domi just to name a few....some list of names for a "pussy"

i could pick a fight with any of those guys. it doesn't mean i'm tough. graves was a below average fighter and couldn't hit the side of a barn his last five yrs. what a joke to hang his sweater!
If he fought those guys hes not a spot-picker as simple as that. And Graves is getting his jersey retired more for what he did off the ice than on the ice.
graves standing up for his teammates doesn't make him tough it makes him a great teammate.. and once you score 52 goals in an nhl season let us know.. and like trippin said his jersey is being retired for what he did off the ice because he is a great community figure
Nice! Loved Adam Graves doing this stuff all the time, great middleweight fighter & he would always jump in when a teammate(Leetch here)would be taken advantage of. Also good to see Jeff Beukeboom pound on Berube!
haha the Caps got May - Kaminski - Berube on ice, you don't see trouble lines like that today
