Pilon - Lemieux ugly slashes 96-97

[Quillons1]

This is hard to watch. I'm a fan of both players 

[cellblock21]

Lemieux had to deal with goons coming at him night in and night out. that's why it was a "garbage League". thankfully, they cleaned up the game. this is ridiculous.

[NYI914021]

@cellblock21 You neglect to mention the goons that protected Mario throughout his career. Question: Did Mario the hypocrite threaten to leave the league after this as well? Or is that just after his team has to make up for injuring players by fighting man on man?

[taags]

Lemiux always was a coward and a faggot.

[mkailov13]

@taags

Yeah, he just won scoring titles with a broken back, Hodgkin's Disease, and cancer. But yeah he's definitely a coward.

[StaalRulz2010]

@taags That's your wife, mom and daughter. 

[HockeyDarkness22]

@iwsr21 i agree, i could see that happening in 96-97 or 98-99 but not anymore thtas for sure lol

[hockeyo11]

@iwsr21  no gretzky was

[steven4rmnewyork]

HAHAHAHAH DID YOU SEE ALL THOSE PUSSY PENGUINS STAYING AWAY AS THEIR NUMBER ONE WAS GETTING HACKED TO PIECES THEY KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS THEIR ALL AFRAID OF PILON BUNCH A FAGGOTS IN SHITTSBURGH LOOL..OH YEAH JAGR YOU FAILED TO PUSSY

[differentskater]

@steven4rmnewyork are u blind, or just stupid?

[ceetor1110]

Is it just me or does it look like Lemieux was defending himself?

[EdgeHeadTubeV2]

@ceetor1110 Absolutely. Trying to prevent being Bashiered.

[differentskater]

@ceetor1110 yea looked that way

[Terminus92]

they were having a lightsaber duel

[PeanutBubber]

wtf the ref at centre ice just stands there?

[gnrfreak25]

@PeanutBubber would you want to try and get in the middle of that and get slashed with that?

[DRrogers14]

sword fight

[joutneyman]

May the force be with you!

[Sundin456]

Lemieux's a bitch

[spsawyer22]

@Sundin456 ROFL. Yeah, you're right. Having a back injury so bad he couldn't lace up skates and having cancer and STILL scoring 160 pts in 60 gms makes you a bitch. Go back to your cave.

[MrMatt8204]

@spsawyer22 Exactly. Lemieux had more talent in his pinky than the rest of us have in our entire bodies combined.

[ripelcannon]

It doesn't get much dirtier than that...

[xxTellTheTruthxx]

Lets play sword fight!!! lol!

[Joeli888]

The Force is strong in these two. May The Force be with you.

[Sting3733]

You should add light saber effects!

[123twist123tie]

sword fight

[Yoder23m]

what did mario do to diserve it

[ArmySniper3]

Lemieux deserved it, but if I saw somebody doing that to my team mate I would go and beat the living hell out of him

[KoivuTheHab]

You don't see that everyday! Mario shouldn't have gotten ejected, he wasn't swinging, he was simply defending his head. Not quite sure what happend before the swinging tho!

[MrBarelylethal]

jagr's got balls stepping into that.

[jckoby]

Pilon was a waste of hockey gear. All he did was instigate. And as per one of the comments below, if Pierre McGuire really said that about Mario, I would be very surprised. Pierre was an assistant coach with the Penguins during the Cup Year in 1992 so for him to say that about Mario is very surprising and low rent...if he indeed said it at all though!

[razorslice17]

Pilon was a talentless asshole and he knew it so he decided to do what any dumbass can do, fight. What a classless player.

[hockeyfano27]

HAHA thats hockey right there

[777Enoch777]

hey Brady, Go back to Mc 'D's stuff a cheesburger,and warm up your girls skates,youll need them:)

[BradyMVP66]

@777Enoch777 only if your fat ass mother comes with me. I am sure a tough guy youtuber like you has never even skated

[cellblock21]

it's ridiculous that one of the greatest players to ever play the game had to put up with so many bums. this was an era when Lemieux called the NHL a 'garbage league'. thankfully they've cleaned up the sport the last several years. they finally got a clue and started to promote their stars instead of having them crucified on a nightly basis.

[dwill2]

Pilon sucks ass at hockey and was a no talent cheap shot artist his entire career

[123torrent]

Lemieux totally deserved, always was an asshole.

Well done, Rich... buy ya a beer?

[Nightrain76]

Pilon was a cheap shot artist. Penguins should have cleared the benches for that but the Penguins were soft during most of the Mario era.

[TheGuysmily]

Lemieux emotionally checked out after this type of stuff. He should have returned the salary that he was paid during that time because his compete-level was virtually non-exisistant.--Pierre Maquire, TSN.

[gun4hire]

Kudos to Yammy for getting in there~!

[BradyMVP66]

@123torrent How does a player deserve that type of shit? Dipshit

[123torrent]

Wow, get a life, asshole. You need a stick up your ass, apparently.

[thinkingjack]

@BradyMVP66 probably because a few games before in this particular season or the season before lemieux two handed slashed the shit out of pilon's shin guard, he actually had to go get a new one after that slash

[BradyMVP66]

@thinkingjack a shin guard? really? That isnt dangerous at all. That is just making a point when you slash someone on the shinguard. I would say it is perfectly fine if Pilon slached Lemieux on the shinguard the same way. but he is swing his stick like a nut job

[thinkingjack]

@BradyMVP66 i never said Pilon was smart, damn near everyone who ever rooted for the isles hated him, theres a reason for that, revenge is revenge in a sincere form, but them both swinging the sticks like this is about as retarded as you can get

[BradyMVP66]

@thinkingjack I agree. both were acting like tards. one thing I will give pilon (I have always loved the pens) is he destroyed Kevin Stevens on the hit where he broke his face. it was brutal but clean

[thinkingjack]

@BradyMVP66 oh hell yeah, i looked that hit up, awesome!!!

[buttkick22]

@BradyMVP66 yea but pilon didn't throw the hit. Stevens hit him so hard he knocked himelf out. His face bounced off Pilon's shield and he was out before he hit the ice.

[BradyMVP66]

@buttkick22 you are correct, either way he got fucked up and was never the same

[BradyMVP66]

@123torrent tough talk. I cant believe they allowed that stick to be used by Pilon since it had obviously been in your mothers twat and she weakened its strength

[metalheadwarrior]

thats remember me a scene in slap shot 1 ...

by the way Pilon is a fucking crazy dude

[gracom1977]

mario had stuck pilon before this and said he was gonna take out his eye with a stick. good work rich

[raypowersmusic]

@gracom1977 Then do the right thing, drop your gloves and drop HIM.

There's never an instance in hockey where swinging a stick is justified. It's the penultimate coward move.

[shrk33]

Forgot about this clip. Glad I came across this.

[Sebass619619]

Mario Lemieux = Best hockey player of all times. PERIOD

[ISteppedOnATurd]

What are they swordfighting?

[kcksave72]

Thanks for the insight.

[danstan66]

what a pussy. if your gonna fight then fight don't be bitches and hit each other with your sticks

[123ALEXwolff]

I know i HATE Crosby!!  So much!

[SunsetGroove]

What the cameras didn't catch was the ugly spear chicken shit Lemieux did to Pilon to instigate this.

Rich was a tough customer who'd fight anyone fair and sqaure, but you'd lose it too if you were speared.

[123torrent]

Pilon totally OWNED Lemieux. Lemieux was an asshole. totally deserved it.

[junklock]

How did he own him? His stick never touched Mario.

[beansandcornbread]

Penguins owned them!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[123torrent]

Lemieux always was an asshole. Well done, Pilon.

[MarkAudet24]

Holy shit, for a moment I tought i was watching the Hanson Brothers in Slapshot

[QcSportsMan830]

Fuck this is not hockey! Thats RuneScape fucksaxes! LOL :P

[Dajjen]

awesome

[TheHolloway1983]

Mario-'You wouldn't hit a man with cancer would you?'

Pilon-'Fuck ya, froggie!'

[Forsure3333]

@TheHolloway1983 TheHolloway1983's account has been suspended! hahahaha. One too many comment... F... racist!

[beansandcornbread]

And the Islanders get their asses handed to them. Again. Lemieux is god.

[juujoo200]

no he certainly isn't a god,he's a demon!

[SunsetGroove]

Lemieux totally deserved it.

[123torrent]

Agreed, Lemieux was an asshole.

[darkknight91]

Still is.

[bern1417]

you're a fucking retard!!!!!!!

[123torrent]

Take a look, EVERYONE AGREES. Lemieux is an asshole and totally deserved it. Case closed, chump.

[BradyMVP66]

@SunsetGroove Your mother deserves it. That was bullshit, and no player should swing a stick like that

[MrJuha82]

@SunsetGroove Nah i dont think so.

Lemieux would deserved a punch to the face, not slash to the body/chest area.

Always such like this slashing move is dangerous,when we knows how badly was McSorleys one to Brashear.

I think its a bit coward to hit other player by stick.

and like i did say earlier in my sentence as its pretty dangerous too and stupid.

[HaloGod1844]

@SunsetGroove fuck you

[RavenGlenn]

The announcer says they were both slashing at each other, but all I saw Mario do was defend. Is the video not showing something else?

[eerieinhabitants]

haha you ask a good question that could work in these viewers favor but you get negative 3 XD

[lictor313]

^;ease tell me someone skate kicked Pilon in the face after...

[wastedyears86]

Haha, am I the only one who finds Lemieux playing sword defence here funny?

[lilitalian1847]

Pilon was a very dirty player and hid behind the big visor.

[joeno646]

He had to wear the visor...

[lilitalian1847]

For what?

[joeno646]

He had an injury to his eye that made him lose some vision. The Islanders made him wear the visor unless they wouldn't let him play.

[lilitalian1847]

Oh, interesting I never knew that. Thanks

[MrBarelylethal]

the islanders made him wear it at the beginning but later on he did it out of choice, and really smart movie

[frasermack18]

if Pilon connected and really hurt Mario, thats at least 15 games right there.

[thinkingjack]

thats why rich pilon was considered one of the worst islanders ever, proving how much of a god damn retard he is right here is one of them

[raypowersmusic]

Nothing screams 'pussy' like a two-handed slash.

[gun4hire]

You even have to give Jaromir credit for flying in against a tough guy. Good for you Jagr. Also good to see the ol' mullet under the JOFA bowl.

[FrankYdole]

What...? Pretty good job Pilon...

[bjursten]

I always thought that Pilon was an idiot. He proves it here.

[B2B76]

The only thing uglier than that Pilon slash is the Islanders "fishsticks" jerseys there wearing in this clip.

[grimetime55]

what a coward
