Andre Deveaux vs Ruslan Fedotenko Dec 20, 2008

[WhaleRider86]

fedo playing style is just all heart. a skilled nhl guy taking on an ahl enforcer and stand his man. dont see that happen often,

[TornWithinOfficial]

Hey Feds does alright! That's pretty gutsy... he knows he can get killed but he goes in anyway. And his team appreciates it.

[KiskiCline77]

RAPIST!!!!!!!  (not fedotenko)

[25superstarpudding58]

obviously, feds pwns everyone.

just stating a fact.

[Snokid6]

my friends uncle is ruslan fedotenko

[lviv4eva]

@Snokid6 ukrainians ftw!

[sololai]

Go TENKO SO CUTE! Ur da best "made" (with some help) tampa bay win the stanley cup in 03-04

[slot962]

well pens r kickn ass right now and where is toronto ? go TENKO !!!

[tonythetiger278]

take off you helmet you pussy

[foottothroat21]

you tell him buddy...

[Fifa09Wii]

why would he take off his helmet? the other guy didn't take his off, deveaux had to do it

[hotdogjinjo]

wowo fedotenko is impressing, he got some good shots and bloodied deveaux, but to me deveaux won

[dennismcruz]

For all the idiots that say Deveaux is a pussy:

If someone grabs you, punches you in the face twice, is the first thing that comes to your mind "Oh, let's take off this helmet to make it fair!?" No, it would be to instantly retaliate. Unless, of course, you're stupid.

[g2gpoker]

Don Cherry is moron period. I got an idea, At intermission lets talk about troops wasting time in Iraq for no reason while im trying to watch Sports this world is becoming a joke.

[ibspeaker88]

First of all your argument is flawed

get educated

he does not talk about troops in Iraq because Canada doesn't have any there

secondly if that's why you think Don cherry is Moron for honoring our troops then your the joke.

[jmiller006]

wow, you're a huge douche...if you actually knew something about hockey and how the game is played, you'd actually understand cherry to have a wide knowledge of the game over the years...sure, is he biased, does he get off-topic? yes, but he knows the game...rather have him than some dull, dry intermission host (which pretty much all of them are)...

and so what, he honors the troops? "what is this world coming to?" hahaha...what a dumb thing to say.

[MilkyTrix]

your a pussy, 50% OF THE FIGHTERS DO

[flowsay]

Deveuax is a pussy who wears a helmet in a fight,

[ahir101]

they dun take the helmet off the ppl who are fightin em take it off but fedotenko got his ass kicked

[Kody1307]

everybody fights with a helmet, except for when some players have visors take them off so they dont break their hands, watch some fights before you say anything. helmets get knocked off like Ruslan's did

[Maximum40]

Deveaux- the future.

[mapleleafs211]

All you people who think deveaux is a pussy are stupid. Cherry is stupid. Wilson told Deveuax NOT to fight Godard because it was 4-1 and momentum was in Torontos favour. Deveaux was not going to fght fedotenko but he started swinging so Deveaux gave him what he deserved! Job well done Deveaux!! This is what he was called up for. Hollweg probably would have defied Wilson and fought Godard like an idiot

[Joerotty]

@mapleleafs211

So Andrea Devaux didn't fight back to defend himself when Godard dropped the gloves and started swinging,but when Fedotenko dropped them it was okay for him to defend himself? Looks more like spot picking to me.

[xdalemhartzx]

@mapleleafs211 he's a pussy he wouldn't let go of Fed's arm or else he would of kicked his ass

[kman3636]

the reason deveaux should fight is because he's a rookie and needs to make a name for himself. Look at jarod boll last year, travelled the league fighting everybody now everyone knows what to expect. The only thing we can expect from deveaux now is him to be a crybaby pussy and fight guys like scott hartnell and alex burrows. The leafs even fail at dressing an "enforcer"

[MaStErOfFeAr85]

Andre Deveauxis such a woman wouldnt Fight God gets him thrown out of them game and goes with Ruslan Fucing Fedotenko who never fights way to be a vagina grow some balls you fucking id fucker! have fun missing the playoffs agian toronto your a fucking joke Ron Wilson i hope you get hit by a bus go pens

[pittibergh08]

anyone that hates the pens, you have to give fedotenko credit, he stood up to Toronto's enforcer, and didnt get his ass beat too badly.

[ahir101]

andre wipped his ass

[pghrtauditor]

fedotenko held his own. and if this guy is so tough why didn't he fight godard when the game was decided?

[EF88Honda]

Well... at that time the score was 4-1 Leafs right?... We all know how inconsistent the Leafs are. You never know what would have happened if Deveaux fought Godard.

Imo, it's good he didn't fight Godard as it could've changed the momentum of the game for Pittsburgh. Seeing that at the time, there was enough on the clock for Pittsburgh to actually make a comeback.

[pghrtauditor]

i was at that game, the pens weren't coming back that night. prior to the tampa bay game a few nights later, that was the pens worst game of the season. godard looked for deveaux all night and he ducked him, but as you said it was good that he didn't fight "the god of thunder".

[llehctimd]

to everyone bitching that deveaux should have fought, watch the post-game with ron wilson (deveaux's coach); he said he didnt want deveaux to fight when the leafs were up like that.. and he didnt. as a rookie, if u go against what ur coach tells u, when ur coach is ron wilson, u will be spending the next game in the press box. also, what happened after he refused to fight godard? godard gets a penalty, leafs get a PP goal... deveaux thus helped cement the victory for the leafs... good on him.

[pittibergh08]

watch don cherry and you'll see different.

[llehctimd]

i dont care what don cherry thinks... im telling u what i think... i bet cherry neglected to point out the fact that his actions directly lead to the leafs making it 5-1

[197419666]

good jup man

[homecoming12345]

penguins jerseys are sick

[KetchupKid87]

Ya, I like their new alternate jerseys

[TheYellowFlash7171]

deveaux is the biggest pussy of all time did you see him bitch out with godard. He didnt just decline the fight but godard actually dropped the gloves and deveaux refused too go. And dont say it was a smart hockey play it wasnt it was a pussy play. So then he goes and fights a guy who hasnt fought since 2001 and has a competative fight with him. He is also way bigger Then feds. I wish he wouldve fought godard and got the shit beat out of him.

[seehound619]

finally deveaux found someone he can beat..... about time  lulz

[bar14]

are u serious... he fights every game against some big dudes... he didnt even want to fight...why fight when youre up 7-3 in the 3rd period? fedotenko punched him a few times before deveaux dropped his gloves...hes not gonna stand there and get punched in the face...

[seehound619]

I never said deveaux does not fight people.... i said he sucks at doing it.

[dudeski78]

pengiun player got whupped

[serhij25]

fedsey...pretty good for someone who dosen't fight, actually got in a few good shots.

[Crosbyisafag]

See! Crosby is gay! Look at all the Pittsburgh men worshipping him! You bitches!! The finals were last year. If we had our two best defensemen you would have lost. Hope you make the playoffs...

[sullivan0099]

the thing is why you sit home on saturday nights in your moms basement at 36, crosby is out picking up any piece of pussy he wants. oh yea now if you had you supposed two "best players" you would have won? come on now buddy. first if your gonna say coburn is one of the best that just goes to show how shitty your team is. second you hope we make the playoff? buddy we are 4 points behind the flyers with 50 thats right 50 games to play. you need to get out of moms house and learn a thing or 2

[sullivan0099]

its not about worshipping him, its about being a smart, educated fan. im not going to say someone is terrible and gay because i'm jealous i dont have them on my team. lets see crosby has won a hart memorial, art ross, lester b pearson, and is the youngest captain in the history, youngest to 200 points, and youngest to score 100 points in a season. yea he is terrible. let me guess you think gretzky and lemieux are fags and suck too right? what has anyone of the flyers ever accomplished?

[Phished123]

successful troll is succesful...

[Crosbyisafag]

More crying from Penguins fans. I'm loving your slide to the bottom of the Eastern Conference!

LETS GO FLYERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sullivan0099]

i can see someone is still mad about getting shit on in the eastern conference finals huh? dude your 36 and your sn is crosbyisafag? what kind of fucking loser are you. first why are you 36 years old on youtube trying to cut up on a kid who at 21 as accomplished more in a week than you will in your whole life? jealous much? only some poor fucking 36 year old from philly would have a sn like that.grow up dude and get a real job and stop hating on superstars. who on the flyers has won a nhl award?

[deltagammaxx]

All you morons talking about how "he didn't want to change the momentum" should just shut the fuck up already. The Leafs up 4-1, Deveaux a rookie, Godard a veteran, if Deveaux fights Godard he earns respect and fires up the Leafs more.Didn't want to change momentum..SHUT THE FUCK UP! How many times have you seen Laraque or Boogaard fight when their team is up? ALL THE TIME..Deveaux is a pussy, he was a pussy with the wolves and is a pussy with the Leafs.Get a real Heavyweight not this goof.

[sullivan0099]

thank you deltagamma at least everyone of this site isnt fucking retarded. acting like dudes dont fight when they are up. the bottom line is hes a pussy and couldnt even take out fedotenko..i mean come on fedotenko. he has backed down from numerous fights in the NHL and got knocked out in the AHL. bottom line deveaux is a pussy he backed down to the tough guy on the team which makes me lose all respect for him. and anybody trying to defend him is just idiotic

[deltagammaxx]

The People who defend Deveaux's actions are the people who thought Claude Lemeiux or Ulf Samuelsson were honest, tough players. These are Leaf fans who probably never played a game in their lives, and are appalled that Brian Burke is gonna make this team tougher. Deveaux's actions were sickining, and a disgrace to the Leaf uniform. And they all bash Cherry cuz he had the guts to speak the truth.

[killercan7]

The game was 4-1 and it was still in doubt. 4-1 is by no means a comfortable lead against a high

flying team like the pens. Had deveaux fought Goddard the team would have momentum and came back.

[datpimpkeegz]

so that's the excuse for being a pussy

[DrewMail21]

ya cause he had a choice to pick his last name you moron

[MattyB2129]

Fedotenko got destroyed. The man gets two clear shots in before Deveaux even knows he is in a fight. As for the cut, it was already there from an altercation another night. Did anyone hear Don Cherry give Deveaux crap for fighting a non fighter? My question is what was Deveaux suppose to do? let Fedatenko continue to punch him in the face?

[carmie1818]

Don Cherry is a fucking idiot. The mans ego is out of control. Just ask him what his coaching record is with Colorado and Mississauga, in other words, without Bobby Orr.

[sullivan0099]

what he had a cut in his nose from another night? thats why his nose was bleeding? and i hate don cherry so im not sticking up for him but he was giving him shit because deveaux bitched out to godard twice earlier in the night. all you guys talking about fedotenko got destroyed? obviously you people must not watch many fights because if you think he got destroyed your crazy. he walked away unscathed from fighting with a "enforcer" who has about 6 inchs and at least 50 pounds on him.

[MattyB2129]

Please learn hockey. You do not fight when you are winning 4-1 at the half way point in the game. Godard punched him but the linesman was there really quickly breaking it up. If Godard had him pinned up and there was no linesman there then obviously he would have fought.

Watch the video. Deveaux looks up at the roof like wtf is going on. He clearly had to drop the gloves in that situation. I assume you are a pens fan whose team got killed by a horrid team.

[sullivan0099]

the linesman was going to let them go but deveaux said he didnt want to fight so the lines men jumped in. just like he did with ivanans earlier this month. he is only a rookie and he already has a reputation of being a pussy. me learn hockey? haha what because your from canada you think you know what your talking about? since when do fights only happen if a linesman isnt around? all i have to say is yes im a pens fan, its ok dont be jealous. whens the last time maple leafs won the cup? 1967

[MattyB2129]

Clearly I am very jealous of your lack of intelligence. Lets cover this again. The Leafs were up 4-1 and kicking the shit out of the pens. Why would Deveaux fight? He skated away and said no because there was no point in him fighting with his team up 4-1. When Godard threw the punch the linesman was right in the middle of the fray. Once again, please learn hockey. You cannot understand the momentum factor and the difference between a linesman being between two guys and no linesman is funny.

[sullivan0099]

yea i guess that guys dont fight when its 4-1. i forgot, thats rule # 132 B in the momentum hand book. you fucking retard when your suppose to be the tough guy on the team and the other tough guy challenges you after you've been running around all game trying to be a bad ass you step up and fight. but thats right your canadian so you know all about the code right? you really are stupid bro its ok i would be pissed to if i was from canada and was a leafs fan. get a good team than come talk

[KetchupKid87]

lol, sullivan you really are stupid. I can't help but laugh when you are trying to make fun of the guy being from Canada, when half of your team is Canadian.

And ya, the last time the Leafs won the Stanley cup was 1967, but guess what, they won 12 times before that... How many time has Pittsburgh won? Oh ya, twice.

I understand you're pissed because your team got whooped, but seriously chill out. I hate hockey fans that hate on every other team but their own, definitely not a true hockey fan

[WhaleRider86]

fedotenko got balls. not a clearly lost, cause you have to remeber that fedo usually is not a fighter, deveaux is one.

[ghjkfdhgfd]

they both HAVE TO BE WILLING! or the coach gets fined.....last week parros and boogaard where gonna fight with 40 sec in the 3rd but the refs wouldn't let them or they would get fined or some gay shit.......stupid nhl fines :(

[KetchupKid87]

Deveaux whooped him.... Don't they both get a game suspension for fighting with less than 5 minutes left in the game, or something?

[CFG1787]

i think they only get suspended if they instigate the fight, but if it develops like this they're ok, not sure though

[sullivan0099]

deveaux whooped him? what fight were you watching. fedotenko never fights and still walked away while deveaux had a busted nose. o yea this is after deveaux wouldnt fight godard, he bitched out like a fucking pussy and than wants to fight when godards gone, yea real tough guy.

[shomo1]

sullivan0099...deveuax didnt want to fight...u can clearly see that fedotenko threw the first 2 punches before deveuax even got his gloves off..and it was fedotenko who turtled at the end...and ur a dumbass

[ingenframtid]

Fedotenko threw punches in that last flurry right til the end.  Deveaux fell on top of him, there was no turtling. He put his head down, but there are legit fighters in the league like Krys Barch or Ian Laperriere who do the same thing.

[sullivan0099]

your retarded! do you watch hockey. i was at the game and godard tried to fight devaux two or three times even throwing off his gloves and punching deveaux in the side of the head and he did nothing. if he wanted to fight someone he should have fought godard. the reason fedotenko fought him was because once godard got kicked out deveaux was running around like he was a bad ass

[KetchupKid87]

The reason Deveaux didn't fight Godard is because he's smart. Why take a penalty when there's no reason to fight. Did Deveaux do something dirty to another player? No, Godard was just fishing for a fight because their team was getting owned, and Deveaux didn't fall for it.

[kickinkyle]

Exactly. Ron Wilson said in an interview that he told Deveaux not to fight.
