IT WAS SMYL"S HELMET THAT CUT NYSTROM> WATCH HOW HE RUBS IT AGAINST NYSTROM. I WONDER WHY HE DID NOT TAKE IT OFF PRIOR TO FIGHT????? AND WHHEN SMYL' HELMET WAS ABOUT TO FALL OFF, SMYL THEN GOES FOR THE TAKEDOWN
stan smyl never took an easy stride in his whole career and was a pillar of steel as a hockey player. but, 9 times out of ten nystom could lick him, this was 1 in ten for stan.
This is to all the people who think Nystrom won this fight.......FUCK YOU AND GET YOUR EYES CHECKED! Nystrom fell down and got his ass kicked. Did you not see Nystroms face after the fight? Bloody as fuck. And did you also see the Steamer skate problem-free off the ice? Yes, indeed you did.
@ironmaidenforlife123 yes smyl won, but this was a take-down, not a TKO. I couldn't see any actual punches thrown by smyl, can't make any conclusion though because the video of the fight is poor with other players in the way at times.
Boy, I haven´t seen anyone cling on to his opponent as bad in a hockey fight like Smyl did here, since another Canuck, Randy Holt, fought Nick Fotiu and Fotiu more or less had to pry Holt off of himself.
too bad Steamer played on the Canucks....if he had been on a winner, and an East coast team, he possibly would be one of the NHL's top legends. Nystrom was pretty much a hack, who's claim to fame was tipping in Tonelli's pass for the game winner in the 1980 Cup. Switch Nystrom and Smyl .....Nystrom would be a footnote and Smyl would be in the hall of fame. Just goes to show that winning Cups, as Cherry says, isn't a fair way to judge a player...
I was at the game - and "The Steamer" got smoked in 4 straight while Bobby Ny has a tough time getting up in the morning - deciding which Stanley Cup ring to wear
OMG! You guys are funny. Too bad the fluke Nucks' got their asses kicked swiftly and decisively in 4 straight.
Don't get me wrong, the Nucks' and their fans deserve a championship as much as anyone, but to get so excited over a final series in which your team didn't even compete in is amusing.
The Canuck's really were playing great,with Tiger and Steamer,as well as King Richard!!Tiger wwas working his tail off in front of the net,and the puck went to the right boards,and Tiger took out 2 Islanders and got the puck to his teammate who scored what "should,could?" have been the winner!
Well,the fight wasn't very much a draw,and just before the fight,Stan absolutely smoked Nystrom with a devasting bodycheck,and he reacted like a complete poor sport and started the fight,and was manhandled again,or smoked again!And we really missed the Steamer in the last few minutes of this pivitol game one,as the Islanders scored a really fluky goal with only a few minutes left to tie the game up in a mad scramble where Harold knocked King Richard astray!
It was a draw because they were toe to toe. Yes, Smyl wound up on top and cut Bobby with his helmet, but the refs broke it up as soon as they hit the ice.
Since Smyl didn't get in any clean shots to the face (at least not in the field of vision of this video), he probably cut Bobby when they went down hard to the ice and his helmet was on top of his face -- or maybe it was just his head that cut Nystrom when they went down.
The Steamer and Tiger were taking care of buisness in this first game!!! And this fight took place,because the "champion" Islanders Mr. Nystrom couldn't take a clean awesome body check thrown on the boards by Steamer!!

He did kick ass, which is why Stan was burying his head in Nystroms shoulder to avoid being pummeled to death.
mrceebees14 2 years ago
@mrceebees14 Smyl was fearless. I saw him take on Dave Semenko. Smyl = 5-9, 180. Nystrom 6-2, 210. Nobody outworked the Steamer. NOBODY

wat do u know about asses getting kicked? all i know is u dont even play hockey. and they didnt loose 4 straight u fking new yorker
2725821 3 years ago
That would be a mildly amusing, if I didn't actually play hockey, but, whatever, dude.
In the 1982 Stanley Cup Finals, in which this hockey fight took place these were the results:
Game 1: Islanders 5 Canucks 4 (OT)
Game 2: Islanders 6 Canucks 4
Game 3: Islanders 3 Canucks 0
Game 4: Islanders 3 Canucks 1
Try talking to someone who was alive to see the series first before wasting time with this nonsense. And really, do either of us really fucking care?

Not sure how much business they actually took care of in that series. For its part, this fight is very much a draw.
