Bobby Nystrom vs Bob Kelly

[Tommytot35]

You got that right, Bob Nystrom/1980 New York Islanders fans! And WoodyAllenNY, in the immortal words of Tom Mees:

"He shoots! He scoorreesssssss!"

[stratovani]

Freakin' Nystrom could fight!!!

[bertmustin]

Watch this or any of the numerous classic NHL fights. It's players with real talent who just happen to be great fighters. Today the league is full of goons who can barely skate.

[oneofthemdeals]

look @ kelly holding on for his life... tough guy wannabe..mel bridge', dave schultz, paul holmg' are broad street bullies but NOT kelly

[WoodyAllenNY]

this was Stanley Cup 1980....Game 7

We all know what Bobby does next.

[SCROGY]

This game was replayed on Classic NHL the other night and God dammit I didn't have the VCR hooked up.

[Danielmutt]

I worked on the floor of the NYSE. Athletes would; occasionally, appear on the floor. I saw "Knuckles" Nystrom and decided to say "Hi". Well, when I shook his hand; my hand disappeared inside of his. I started to imagine what it would being like. Some unfortunate getting hit by those ENORMOUS hands. "Bad things man, bad things".

[MrJuha82]

CLEAR WIN Nystrom in good wrestlingmatch, he landed much more.

[LOVELIFE54]

Those Were The Days ... My Friends !

[jfq722]

yea, Flyers may have been exhausted from going 35 games without a loss that season.....;)

[Halenalex5001]

@jfq722 ya too bad the isles ended thagt and then beat them at the stanley cup RETARD

[niedsconed]

I am pretty sure that this is Game 6 of the '80 Finals where Nystrom scores the OT winner...5/24/80.

[ChrisDutch]

@niedsconed nailed it. Nystrom nailed Kelly and then punctuated the game at 7:11 of overtime.

[12gianna]

@ChrisDutch Bruins fan here from the early 70's and I think not only was Nystrom underrated as a player but also a fighter and a clean fighter too...he was one of the best fighters of ALL time!!

[MrSnatch22]

bobby, bobby, bobby

[jackslicl100]

as i have always said, its always a pleasure to see a Broadstreet Bully get his ass kicked.

[HelmutHedd]

"Hound Dog" was generally a punching bag against anybody like Nystrom or Jethro. Same could be said of the other Flyer goons like Schultz or Saleski. The Flyers were only tough against the non-fighters. That's why the Isles kicked their asses in this series.

[leafyutube]

That 1980 Final was a phenomenal series.

I cannot believe the idiots who constantly whine that the Islanders didn't face stiff competition. The Flyers that season had a record 35 game unbeaten streak!

[tedfio1tedfio1]

Kelly was a sucker punching punk. The Rangers Harris broke Kelly's leg in a fight LOL...

[classicNHLfights]

mad dog was outclassed by Nystrom

[joedeech]

HOUND dog was outclassed by Nystrom

[classicNHLfights]

Kelly was known by several similar nicknames: "Hound Dog", "The Hound", "Mad Dog" and when he played against the Leafs in the 70's playoffs he was Maddog Kelly.

[nyerinmo]

No question Nystrom was the winner here. Not just in this fight, he also scored two goals in this game including the Cup winner at 7:11 of OT.

[sm6860]

OK GTM57. You win.....I take that back.....What I meant to say was "You are a stupid fucking dingbat"...How many times do I have to fucking tell you????? You know as much about hockey as I do about what makes assholes like you tick.....

[jcyt0511]

sm6860 YOU are the dumbfuk! do nOT even comment as you are making everyone puke with your retarded colored glasses. Nystrom FUK K--K k D him in the nose!

[sm6860]

Another Fucking Dope (jcyt0511).....Alright Asshole....After 3 fucking months you're gonna chime in with a stupid fucking comment...You are one dumb mother fucking ball licker....Asshole.....

[lyeball]

Dave Brown was a scumsucking sack of shit.

This fight was pretty much a draw. Slight edge to Nystrom

[sm6860]

GTM57....Must you curse to get your meaningless off base comment across...YOU FUCKING DINGBAT!!!!

[GTM57]

yea I curse when I get meaningless comments from fuck turds like you to waste my time...by the way did you get your eyes checked yet?? YOU FUCKING MORON!!

[sm6860]

Kelly kickin' ass as usual. He owned nystrom.

[GTM57]

yea right Kelly kickiin' ass....what fight were you watching?

[sm6860]

Yo GTM57...You must be a real ding bat to not understand that when a guy gets hit in the face as many times as nystrom did, you are not considered the winner.

[GTM57]

Yo sm6860....get your eyes checked then watch the video again....fuck turd

[Bellicose27]

Try that with Dave Brown.

Nystrom would be nothin but a chump!

[kodermac]

Another win for Nystrom over the so called tough Flyers. Flyers tough guys lost alot more fights tham most hockey fan realize.

[zepncat]

Nystrom was an under rated scrapper...and he scored a lot of big goals....Dave Brown?...not so much

[ggtrains]

Nice to see a team stand up to the Bullies...

[sbmikkim]

Flyer fans are just mad that we always kick thier asses

[BigEdDunkel]

Boob "Lily-liver" Nystrom lacked heart, man.

[MNWildfan72]

You gotta be kidding me. Look back at his career and the dozens of fights here on YouTube. "Lacked heart"? You must be blind.

[jcnyut000000000000]

the opposite cunt for brains...

[bustballz]

your mom lacked heart too, but she has a good mouth to make up for it..i blew 6 loads into the bitches mouth and one into her asshole in one hour

[BigEdDunkel]

You're drunk, Dad -- get yer ass home.

[dadblair]

i believe nystrom played junior hockey for calgary

[bds1167]

Fuck the Islanders! Lawng Island pussies!

[MNWildfan72]

...who incidentally won four Cups in a row. Good try.

[darthcheney80]

Agree, Bob Nystrom is a much underrated player, one of the toughest players from Europe. Many players from Europe had difficulty to adapt the hard game but not Bob Nystrom!

[koing32]

Nystrom was born in Sweden but raised in Canada fom a teenager.

[sproul07]

DDDDUUUDDDE YOU KNOW WHAT DUDE?? THERE SHOULD BE LESS VIOLENCE IN HOCKEY! NOONE SHOULD GET HURT IN A FRIENDLY GAME DUUUDE! Lb LB

[HollyzChannel]

BOBI !!! AND BILI KLINTON ½½½K"BJL

[mom346]

[BostonGarden]

[jcnyut000000000000]

[timmysouthparkcool]

dude i actually now bobbby nestream

[koing32]

Nystrom owned Kelly,Gillies owned Hoyda

Flyer pussies

[airbornemcshane]

flyers are the toughest team in the leauge and always will be

[clagarqc]

Flyers = jerks. Cheap-shot specialists

[jeanettelturner]

Bob Kelly always looked like some back-woods redneck hillbilly. I think he had a confederate flag tattooed to his ass (along with a Flyers logo)

[zapper759]

If Bob Kelly played today (2007), he'd be penalized every 15 seconds.

[stevedrums]

So would everyone else from that era. It's a different game now.

[JimR541]

Bobby Ny was all over the score sheet that day wasn't he?

[dicer8]

Best fighter of all time. He just wanted to stand back and throw them in all his fights.

[ewenmurr]

In my mind Bob Nystrom is one of the most underrated players of all time. Gary Dornhoffer wonders how useful these players will be after the fight. Nystrom scores in the second and then the famous winner.

[znogypogy]

@ewenmurr Absolutly, so underrated by the fact he's never been spoken of that often as an underrated player. every team should have a bob nystrom...BOBBY BOBBY BOBBY.....

[nyerinmo]

Nystrom had over 20 minutes in penalties and TWO goals in this game, including the OT winner. That's a complete game!

[Envelope86]

Little did Bobby know that, a few hours later, he would score the goal that would catapult his number to the rafters of the Nassau Coliseum and establish the "Bob Nystrom Award" for "leadership, hustle and dedication." Actually, Nystrom deserved those honors even without that goal 7:11 into overtime on May 24, 1980. Bobby is one of  the few players in NHL history with the "whole package": scoring, speed, leadership and the ability to protect his teammates. (He protects Ken Morrow here.)
