Otto was a tough son of a bitch. He didn't fight a lot, but he could hold his own. The only guys Otto struggled against was the big dogs: Semenko, McSorley, Kyte, etc.. Looked like he tripped and couldn't get back up because other players were on top of them. He was used to going back and forth w/ Messier. Joel held his own vs. Mark.
Hey Buddy, What space ship did you just land in? Joel Otto got his ass kicked all the time when he was a Flame and Messier was an Oiler. I saw Mess kick his ass when I lived in Edmonton and I watched Mess pound on Otto when I lived in Calgary. Otto was about 3 inches taller than the Moose and 25 lbs heavier but never one a single fight in 13 career bouts. As for the video pal you must be blind. The Moose landed at least half a dozen in Otto's face. Messier 5 for fighting, Otto 5 for receiving.
Joel Otto was a big guy who got into loads of fights, but very seldom seemed to win. Case and point here. Messier isn't the biggest guy and seldom fought, but he gave Otto a BEATING.
Another 40 years without a cup? Are you serious? Have a look at your lineup for the future! You lost your top player when he left for LESS money! Your defense is garbage, and your goalie is mediocre. Oh, and when you try to use big words, try to use them correctly. I believe you meant to say FETAL position, not FEEBLE! Feeble is what you are. As in lacking strength, or weak. Much like your argument, your English skills, and your hockey team. Have fun in last place for the next decade or so.
Now that is just the kind of uneducated, poorly spoken response I would expect from an Islander fan. Another Internet tough guy! HAHAHAHAHA!! You're a funny little boy. By the way, nice paragraph. Apparently, you were absent when they taught grammar in school. WhoreIsland? Very original! Watching Anchorman much?
Only someone stupid enough to root for the Islanders would post such a stupid comment. The Islanders couldn't beat their own loser fans. Meanwhile, more people come to watch the Rangers practice, than watch an actual Islanders game. Must be all those Islander "fans" who come dressed as empty seats!
No dude... not on drugs. Just been watching hockey for a long, long time. If you ever watched Messier in his younger days, he was a great fighter. He wasn't an enforcer by any means, but he had more than his share of fights and was considered a very good fighter. Unlike most centers in the NHL.
anorc's rigght and dumble's obviously too busy hating hte rangers to realize how great mess was. YHe backed down from no one any one who challenged him (including a former idol worshipper called Lindros) he fought. Read a book or watch some games dumble
Yeah... you tell him "bcoolguy811"! Atta boy, Podes! Way to get your ass kicked by Beukeboom! Your face slamming into his fist really taught him a lesson. RETARD! And as for CCampLI, you must be an Islanders fan. You obviously know NOTHING about hockey. If you did, you'd know that Messier was one of the best fighters in the NHL. You'd have given your legs to have him skate for your pathetic team. Welcome to the Nassau Mausoleum... Where fans come dressed as empty seats!
Who the hell wants to ref a game when you have 6'5" Beukeboom in a fit of rage on the ice? Love that man.

Get a real job, Davidson!!!!
Messier 6-1, 210, Otto 6-4, 225 but neither man fought a whole lot. Calgary got Otto for the prime purpose of shutting down Messier. It worked
