the great players are not paid to fight,although many are good at it.not too many players wanted to deal with howe and robinson.players like andy bathgate,bobby orr and mark messier were in that category too.no player that is paid to fight wants to get clocked by a player that can play and fight.
@reg5381 risebrough robinson bouchard even trembley could all hold their own. it was a wake up call league wide when montreal took the cup in the 76 finals more skill than brute force.
@reg5381 The myth of Larry Robinson grows! lol Ask Dave Hutchinson if Larry is as tough as the mythical legend people perceive him to be. Robinson spent his career beating up non fighters & made his rep in 1 fight against Dave Schultz, just like Gordie Howe did with Lou Fontinato. He never had to take on elite guys. He's basically Barry Beck with a perm! lol
@BoSoxnation1972 the great players are not paid to sit in the penalty box.howe and robinson could play the game either way.there have been a many players that fell in that caregory.andy bathgate,bobby orr and mark messier and others made their own space on the ice.not too many fighters were willing to risk their reps against players that can play and fight.
@reg5381 Howe played before expansion, so there werent hired goons on every team. Obviously they weren't paid to fight, but my point is that there are idiots who think Larry Robinson is tougher than Probert. Hell, some idiots right here on youtube believe that Gordie Howe could have been heavyweight champion of the world in boxing! It's literally like a big fish story!
And FYI, Messier couldn't fight well. The guys he fought early in his career weren't even middleweights. They were no names.
@michsteve09 He may have been but him and Stan Johnathan made were the two best fighters besides Taz!!!!! Every Bruin Fan knows that Sanderson was good player too. He was also a good Fighter
ronibugs, Rod Langway is American, and he was born in Taiwan. You might want to do some research before making a comment like that. If you said, typical Canadien, then that would just reflect on the team not the country as you inferred.
Hey now..dont let fuckwads like ronibugs be the brush that paints a pic of the rest of us. I too agree. Get yer shit straight b4 spoutin off stupid bullshit ronibugs...especially when representing the Great white North.
What a pussy that Langway was!! Wensink was getting up after a check and this Canadian Pussy hit him as he was getting up. I guess he wanted no part of big John if they could have squared up. COWARD!! Typical Canadian!!
Are you joking? They are arguing whether or not Rod is Canadian or American, not whether his dad was in the Army, and he lived in Taiwan for 18 months after he was born! He grew up in Massachusetts and didnt start playing hockey until he was 13! Randolph Massachusetts! That makes him American, not Canadian...end of story!
Whoa! Where did you come from. Im just sayin where he was born. He WAS born in Taiwan. And he was raised in the U.S.....sooooo, whats your problem again?
"Whoa! Where did you come from. Im just sayin where he was born. He WAS born in Taiwan. And he was raised in the U.S.....sooooo, whats your problem again?" My problem is they were debating whether Langway was Canadian or American. Just because he was born on a US Army base in Taiwan, doesnt make him Taiwanese. He's American, and he grew up in Randolph Massachusetts. That's my point!
Oh ronibugs...We all see that you know nothing about pussies !!! Wensink was a poor fighter and Langway just clipped him just like any other would. Wensink the pussy then tries to hit Langway while his head is down and hold off by the referee... Typical Bruins... Except for Jonathan, the rest of the Bruins were real pussies.
Rod Langway was a very good fighter,could have been an enforcer had he not been the best defenceman in the league in the early 80's.Habs should never have traded him,big mistake!!
Langway actually asked to be traded out of Montreal. Ludwig and Walter were a pretty good pair to receive in return. Langway was a stud though. He didn't have a huge offensive up-side but he absolutely controlled the back end when he was on the ice. This clip is an absolute gem.
I love that drunken Bruin team member get hammered in another way! Many obnoxious Bruin memmbers: Oreilly, Cashman, Wensink, Secord, (all got crapped on by the Isles).
P.S. For all you (presumably sober) O'Reilly fans out there. Gillies got accused by a few feeble minded fans for being too quick on the draw in their fight. How many fights have O'Reilly and Gillies had where they started when both were ready and Oreilly won? None! That's how many.
You dont't have the guts, you pathetic litle twerp. So shut the fuck up. Hey the Islanders are in dead last in the NHL. Only 27 points behind Boston. Have a nice day! :-)
@BostonGarden How about the Good ole Days Stan Johnathan, John Wensink,and Terry O' Reilly Could you just imagine if those three players were in the league today they would kick everyones asses including Sidney Cry Baby Crosby I remeber when the Rangers had Kocur what a time that was!!!!
@BostonGarden, you shouldn't threaten people online asshole. besides, jcnyoooo would probably do the same to you as Langway did to your hero Wensink....lol
Not only could he throw em, but Langway would be on many people's all-time team (top 8) defensemen of all time, with Harvey, Orr, Potvin, Stevens, Housely, Coffee, and probably some from before my time.
i am wrong, sorru my mistake Langway didnt do anything wrong here IMO.
Just finished his check/hit and Wensink lost his balance and Langway tyook over as both fellas dropped their mitts about same time.
