ed hospodar vs brian sutter-rangers vs st'louis fans

[ekimfloom]

Classic series back in the day with good ol time hockey and playoff seeding the way it SHOULD BE! #1 vs #16, #2 vs #15 and so on....fuck this east/west conference bullshit!

That was Barry Beck who tried to jump over the glass to whip that fan's ass who slapped Hospodar. Pretty ironic since Beck went after Hospodar season after season when Eddie played for the Whalers, Flyers, and NorthStars.

Yup, that brawl is here on Youtube as well.

@kordic1969 As herb Brooks once said, yuo play for the name on the front of the jersey, not on the back. beck didn't get along with Hospodor for whatever reasons.

This was 1981 playoffs. Six game series won by Rangers. Sutter and Hospodar fought about 4 times. When the idiot fan reached over the glass and slapped Hospodar in the head, they both stopped fighting and just kind of looked up and said WTF?

Great clip! Why the Christ can't we have hockey like it used to be?

[lucybrown1]

Fucking classic hockey!

[chijim222]

I like how Sutter and Hospodar stop throwing punches and skate away from the boards. I guess they forgot why they were fighting.

Who is that old announcer for the Rangers? For some reason I love that guys voice...such a old time hockey announcer voice.

[stevedrums]

Jim Gordon and Bill Chadwick. I think they have both passed on.

Who was the Rangers goalie? Baker? Whoever it was took quite a slash at someone else in the stands. Nice piece of film. I had never seen it before.
