  • LOL i think Hextall was surprised Potvin could fight like that haha. Potvin kicked his ass!!

  • Potvin destroyed Hextall! 

  • I was at this game sitting in the greens > i will remeber this till the day i DIE!

  • Hextall is such a badass goalie but I think Ptovin won this one

  • quick like a CAT.....Go Leafs Go!!!

  • ya hextall landed a couple big ones.. but he punched alot of shoulder pads..potvin wins... great fight by both tho..

  • whoever was the idiot that said hextall punched air... see 0:27 i guess potvin's face is made of air eh ? ;)

  • Hextall wins this fight.

  • @kremlin2766 did you watch the fight?

  • One-sided commentating. Hextall's face was fucked up.

  • hahaha "rock-em sock-em goaltenders"

  • i was at this game. it was fuckin awesome. and the flyers won

  • I'm sorry, but what kind of an idiot "dislikes" this? This is absolute gold.

  • Actually, I'd say both goalies were pretty equally matched. They both got a couple good punches in. Lol I just love how loyal Hexie was to his team. If anyone messed with them, they had him to answer to. GO HEXTALL!!!!

  • lol stupid announcers

  • It's awesome how everyone that was fighting on the ice stopped and started watching the two goalies fight.

  • i say hextall won

  • Potvin clearly won this fight.

  • GO LEAFS GO

  • this is old time hockey, i really miss this time!!!

  • I still have the newspaper from the next day, this was on the front page of the Toronto Sun.

    Good times...

    i miss the 90s. Everything was better. EVEN THE LEAFS! LoL

  • And the winner is...

    Felix.

  • @treysparker and you can suck a dick.

  • A great moment in the NHL. I loved the 96-97 Flyers.

  • best goalies fight ever.

    

  • HAHA! Love how everyone else around them just kind of stops and looks at the two goalies all like.. whaa? Awesome!

  • I miss Felix.

  • homer commentators

    Potvin hanging in there ???? Felix whooped Ron Hextall !

  • "potvin was hanging in there" , ya, the same way Tyson hung in there with Larry Holmes. douche flyer commentators

  • potvin vs hextall: arguable the best goalie fight ever in the nhl

  • dont see how potvin destroyed hextall, slight edge thanks to a good goalie grip and yeah hextall missed a lot when they were throwing them and but potvin didnt connect alot either, got a few more shots in but not much more and the end was pretty equal

  • @Flyers20Fan Only a Flyers fan would call this a draw. Hextall got owned in this scrap no matter how you slice it. Hextall's a tough mother fucker, which is why it's so surprising (and exciting, for Leafs fans) to see Potvin not only defend himself, but lay a smackdown on one of the toughest goalies the league has ever seen. The blood count alone marks this fight as a win for Potvin and that's the undeniable truth.

  • @jo4nny i gav potvin the slight edge, but i still dont see how he pummeled hextall, it could just be me cus a lot of people feel the same way as you, yeah hextall was really tough and a very good fighter, potvin just got a great grip on hextall here, very good fight tho

  • i give potvin a slight edge, he def didnt slaughter hextall, the only reason potvin won is cus he got a better grip on hextall throwing arm

  • lol,i love the guy an girl who hug each other in excitement when ron/felix lock up!

  • a really good fight

  • homer play-by-play!

  • I watched this twice and could not see how hextall got "slaughtered" pretty even i would say......................

  • Of course they show the ONE punch hit by hextall, but they miss the 10 punches that Potvin hit....,,,Of course Potvin won this fight....

  • Flyers lost that oh that ass hole themrRichard don't know shit pens will fuck flyers day up that's why we kick there ass in everything

  • @hitman52000 did your penguins kick their ass this year in the playoffs? NOPE.......Sid the faggot kid! GO CANUCKS!

  • Hextall lost..

  • do the goalies always fight? lol

  • I was 15 when this fight happened, still to this day Hextall won the fight, Potvin hung in there, but I say Hextall still gets the duke.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @NBON113 yeah potvin won but he didnt slaughter hextall

  • @rksolve1 ur fucking retarded. hextall got fucking SLAUGHTERED. 

  • omfg, i wish i were those old people.

  • Wow, what a lame effort from Hextall. I was expecting much more ownage and destruction.

  • 1:00 - AND LET"S KEEP IT THAT WAY!

  • Hextal didn't even hit 1 punch on Potvin. Potvin jerseyed the bitch too. Go LEAFS!!!

  • You can't beat a Canadian goalie in a fight!

  • haha old people at 1:53.

  • @OsidePenguin32 LOL! That lady was into it!

  • @OsidePenguin32 Only in Philly will you see two old ppl enjoying a goalie fight

  • @TAG037 is that a compliment?

  • @OsidePenguin32 i belive its dead people now :D

  • "down goes Hextall!!!"......enough said...

  • anyone notice when they were trading blows potvin was looking right at hextall and big bad hextall was well NOT lmao

  • ehm.... what was the score? :D:D:D:D

  • Potvin

  • Felix won despite never being a ''real'' fighter like Hextall.

  • Hextall-Potvin, The Ali-Frazier III of golie fights. The Best!

  • You gotta love how nearly all the players stop and look at the goalies in disbelieve.

  • As soon as they took off their helmets, Hextall was punching air...

    I'd say Potvin won lol

  • @AndWan25 hextall is one of the best fighting goaltenders, if not the best. your dumb

  • Wow a classic I watched this with my family and it was one of the most exciting leaf highlights from this era. Hextall is tough we would go at it with guys like troy crowder, then this little french guy holds his own and wins in a goalie fight. I loved it, Potvin so everyone knows has a ton of boxing experience (who knew)...

  • Hextall might of thrown more punches, but the proof that Hextall lost that fight was the blood running down his face and the stitches he had to get afterward. It's not the number of punches thrown, but the quality of punches that connect. Good fight but Hextall lost.

  • Never mentioned Hextall got cut open did they?

  • want to hear a joke? the maple leafs. if you couldn't tell that hextall physically dominated that fight, than you canadians really are clueless. and i will admit, domi was a beast when it came to fighting.

  • @senorcoonster how the hell do you figure that Hextall won that fight?

    Seriously...explain it to me.

  • The fans in the background make it for me... pure joy on their faces... seniors clapping with glee, young girls jumping up and down in excitement, men going hoarse with joyous rage... the fans who saw this game surely still talk about it. Get rid of the instigator, make hockey pure again!

  • Todays NHL is PUSSY

    Now you pay $300 to watch some pussies running around. Missed good old days.

  • Potvin wouldn't go of hextall! Hextall was doing good.... then he just got the crap beaten out of his face.

    

  • Great fight!!!! Peace

    -M H. Wight

  • Hextall gets fucked up the ass yet again. What a gross loser.

  • haha the commentators slow is down and analyze the fight.

  • shit hextal was flyin down the ice

  • GO HEXTALL!

  • I LOVE HOCKEY

  • rock 'em sock 'em goaltenders!

  • hockey at its best! those were the good ol days!

  • Hextall v Potvin, The crowd loves it, the announcers are going nuts. What a classic!

  • weren't there like 3 goalie fights that season?

    I'm not a fan of either team but I gotta give this one to Felix. He matched Ron blow for blow and then the philly fans who were so excited to see hextall fight, boo'd him off the ice.

    I really would have liked to see Hextall vs. Roy though. 2 of the scrapiest goaltenders to play the game...I think that would have been a fight for the ages.

  • LOL are you fat ass Philly cunts blind? I'm not denying Hextall's heart, but don't look past the fact that he had his balls served to him on a platter by Felix The Cat Potvin. Not just any cat, a fucking siberian tiger who will murder Hextall and everything he holds dear. Suck it Flyers fans.The broad street bullies just got ass fucked by a Quebecer.

  • THIS IS OLD TIME HOCKEY!

  • @8Eriquo8 potvin has a big boxing background dont give me that " he dosen't fight he's tiny hextalls got OWN3D ROFL" bullshit, 6'1 190 and 6'3 190 , and just cuz he got cut dosen't mean he was on the ground crying and all that shit he landed just as many punches and from 0:25 to 0:27 big hits from hextall and from 0:33 and up for bout 8-9 seconds isee the "cat" ducking like a bitch.....

  • @SlayerPayback well i guess stating facts means that but hey why not :) stats don't lie ;) have a good day

  • @ddhennessey little :S he was 2 inches shorter and the same weight...

  • ha i think its safe to say that was a draw, neither Potvin or hextall "owned". Pretty even.

  • hextall easily won that fight im a leafs fan and its clear to see potvin lost stop all being little bitches and just admit the truth i hate fans like all you

  • @ddhennessey ? Hextall was a Canadian

  • Potvan all the way. Hextall is a machine tho. Best flyer ever to play the game.

  • Must be a Flyer announcer, he had Hextall with the decision. Felix winner.

  • Potvin owned that fight start to finish. Felix is the bomb.

  • KK look i hate the leafs but shit, hextall got his ass haded to him.

  • those people behind the glass are soooooo hype are

  • Hextall lost that fight had to get 6 stitches

    to close the cut.

  • You don't see hockey like that anymore

  • what the fuck is every one talking about? yeah hextall stood up for a team mate. woopdi fuckin do, he got his ass BEAT

  • Potvin totally won that fight.

  • @ttcgeek Hextall could kick anyones ass, he is the man.... the will never back down and goes after everybody... he def won that fight

  • @Datsoccerkiid13 Hextall won that fight? Who was the one who got busted open on his forehead? Think about it.

  • @Datsoccerkiid13 He lost when he crossed the second blue line. It's the fact its philly announcers. Potvin got better and more punches.

  • potvin ftw

  • I kind of want to know what was going through Potvin's head when he saw Hextall skating down the ice. He must've been fucking amped

  • I'm a Hab fan, but will gladly watch a Leaf kick the crap out of this goof over and over.

    That was a beautiful job Felix.

  • LOL hextall skates 200 feet to get his ass kicked

  • hex stands tall!!!

  • Oh hell! Look at everyone else on the ice bretty much stop what they;re doing and be all like.. 'Wha..?!" Fucking awesome!

  • RO HEXTAIL IS THE MAN!!!!!! Fuck you maple leafs!!!!!!!

  • potvin cut him good....bloody eye...unanimous decision

  • flyers suck haha

  • Flyers bias much

  • Potvin Took The Win.

  • Potvin pretty tough

  • ill give it to potvin

  • yo you people are idiots domi didnt jump on the ice cause he would have got suspended like seriously learn your hockey before you say anything and your sticking up for the flyers? the flyers? the dirtiest team in the nhl? yeah pick a new team cause you have no argument. yeah ron hextal had heart to go down there but you cant say nothing about felix potvin he had the guts and the heart to stand up to hextal and beat him in the fight go cry about something else

  • jdbankshot, I dont think its me that needs the eye doctor. I dont know what fight youre watching. Hextall hands down? How do you come to that conclusion? Was it the first 7-8 punches that Potivin totally connected on? Is it the fact that Hextalls face is bloodied? Or the point where Potvin pulls the jersey over his head? Hextall barely connects on any punches and Potvin totally works him over in the first 10 seconds or so to gain the advantage. Sorry- Im not buying what youre selling.

  • @nbtube blood never equals victory in any fight. if someone cuts u with a punch, you can still win & your opponent may be devoid of any marks. i've watched this fight & many others(not just hockey). potvins first 7-8 connect with hexs' shoulder & chest. rons' first 4-5 connect with air cuz the cat was good enough to grab jersey & hold away. hex then nails him with two straight that really calmed felix down. why didn't potvin skate up to meet hex at center as soon as he saw him?

  • man, the cat can fight, Hexall looked like an ass rushing into an assbeating, props to potvin almost looked like a pro fighter, picking his punches and everything

  • @d3monliam some leaf fan obviously needs to book an appointment with the optometrist. after you get your glasses or contacts, go to a boxing gym. HEXY DESTROYED POTVIN!!!! CLEAR AS DAY!!!!!

  • @jdbankshot im far from a leafs fan, im a fan of anyone playing the leafs, but from what i saw, the majority of hexs punches were thrown blindly and missed, i mean he wasnt even look at pot he just threw punches but i saw pot stop swinging to look for openings, so ok, i never took boxing lessons only muay thai and ju jitsu, but i will take quality over quantity any day

  • @d3monliam quality over quantity...... i agree. let us analyze the overall careers......woops, waste of time, not even close.

  • @jdbankshot Well im only talking about this fight, but you are right, even if potvins carrer GAA is better than hextalls, we will remeber hexalls name alot long than potvins

  • Just not enough goon goalies in the league anymore. Damn!

  • ah ron hextall one of the most overated goalies of all times

  • @leafyrivers ah, the maple laffs... or is it maple feafs? greatest source of comedy for 15 years now. wanna talk over-rated, mention that jizz-guzzlin dad of yours.

  • @tunnel 51 it figures domi would be taunting him from the bench cause that puss wouldnt want anything to do with him face to face on the ice

  • @LL2Spliff domi a puss? yeah a guy who's fought bob probert and donald brashear is a real puss. flyers suck and hextall got his shit rocked by potvin

  • @Slipknot5301 brashear is a bitch first of all ... flyers actually had sucess since 1967 unlike the laughs... hextall has 296 wins ( most in flyers history ) for a team that;'s been around for what 43 years now? he went to the finals twice and conference finals 4 times , only goalie besides king henrik to win 30+ games in his first 3 seasons , and to top that , has a vezina and conn smythe , and having the lowest GAA in the league twice

  • @SlayerPayback HA! i hate brash, but he's top 20 enforcers of all time

  • @Slipknot5301 T. DUMMIE sorry Domi is a pussy. One of the biggest pussie's in hockey. I have more respect for Kasperitis then I do for Domi. Come to think about it. I have no respect for Toronto at all. One of the worst organisations in hockey. A city that hasnt won a championship in any of their 4 sports in how long. Thats what I tought. Toronto is Pathetic.

  • @alkaholicks44 well for one if domis a pussy that says alot about you then dont it. second if you really are canadian you should root for any canadian team over any american team

  • @alkaholicks44 LOLUMAD?

  • @Slipknot5301 The Flyers suck?

  • @Slipknot5301 You must be a Penguins fan if you think Hextall lost that fight...

  • @TheMrRichard hextall got fucking killed. and i'm a hawks fan retard

  • @Slipknot5301 So that is where the extreme lack of hockey knowledge comes from. You might as well take down that Islanders icon for your picture, you dickless wonder. Fuck off puck bunny.

  • @Slipknot5301 didnt get killed, lost but didnt get killed and hextall is a good fighter its just that potvin got a great grip on his throwing hand

  • @LL2Spliff but potvin still won

  • @LL2Spliff seriously you need to shut up no one cares if Hexstall is good Potvin beat the shit outta hexstall here

  • @LL2Spliff Wendel Clark, Doug Gilmour, Gary Roberts, Darcy Tucker, Curtis Joesph, Mats Sundin

  • @LL2Spliff Domi never hid from anyone, and I am a Laughs hater

  • @LL2Spliff Clark, Tucker, Sundin, Corson.. All who played for Toronto after Hextall retired. What exactly is your point? He was a great goalie with a bit of a crazy streak... exactly like Potvin.

  • @LL2Spliff yea cause hacking Ken Nillson's legs from behind is so tough.

    trying to rip McSorleys head off from behind is tough.

    fighting Potvin, who doesnt fight (and Potvin beat him, lolol) is tough

    shooting the puck at Jovanovski after the play is tough.

    yea whatever you say man

  • @8Eriquo8 mcsorley deserved it... have you not seen what he did to brashear? , potvin has a big boxing background dont give me that " he dosen't fight he's tiny hextalls got OWN3D ROFL" bullshit, 6'1 190 and 6'3 190 , and just cuz he got cut dosen't mean he was on the ground crying and all that shit he landed just as many punches and from 0:25 to 0:27 big hits from hextall and from 0:33 and up for bout 8-9 seconds isee the "cat" ducking like a bitch.....

  • @SlayerPayback someones trying too hard to defend his favourite player.

  • @LL2Spliff hockey fans should never use the words "hatin" or "bitches"

  • @LL2Spliff Darcy Tucker :)

  • Comment removed

  • @LL2Spliff Wendel Clark, Captain, Fighter, Goal scorer And Lot's of Heart. There's your answer

  • @LL2Spliff i was at that game, cheapshot potvin got one good hit in.... then Hextall finished it.

  • @DULDEN85 if by finsihed it you mean finished it a bloody mess then you are correct.

  • Comment removed

  • Its not in this clip but the funniest thing was watching Domi on the bench give it to Hextall pointing at the blood gushing from his head as he was skating off the ice. Hextall obviously thought he could pummel Potvin with little problems. The Cat turned into a Tiger and did most of the damage, Hextall's face proved that.

  • @Tunnel51 i just saw evan dunham destroy sean sherk at ufc 119, but he was covered in blood from ONE elbow delivered by sherk. blood never equals victory, my visually impaired friend. this page is obviously full of biased maple feaf fans with problems.(biggest problem is their pathetic team.)

  • Potvin BEST

  • heres a breakdown of sports fights

    HOCKEY: real men going at it

    FOOTBALL: bunch of fat fucks in spandex trying to kick each other

    BASKETBALL: bunch of sissies flailing their fists like little girls

    BASEBALL: no explanation needed

  • @BumJuiceDrinker u forgot soccer.....lal

  • @BumJuiceDrinker Couldn't have said it better myself bro. Hockey rules!

  • @BumJuiceDrinker i love hockey but sports isnt about getting hurt

  • @BumJuiceDrinker "fat fucks" is completely off the ball.

  • hahah potvin who isnt even a scraper fuckin owned hextall... LEAF ALL THE WAY, we may not win the cup but we'll for sure beat your ass down:)

  • @BumJuiceDrinker uhh, mmkay... u do know that this is 15 years old, right? maple laffs. or maple feafs, take your pick.

  • How does anyone call this a Hextall win? Potvin fucking owned Hextall in this one- bottom line.

  • @nbtube contact an eye doctor, asap. then go to a gym, the kind where they box & box only. show this vid to the main trainer. hextall wins, hands down.

  • Rare loss for Hextall.

  • i remember this night. my brother and i are die hard wendel fans, but it made it even better when ronny and potvin went at it. The whole family was goin ape shit during this one.

  • Hextall win.

  • rofl look at the slow mo hextall misses his first 7 hits. potvin wins.

  • Both ram out of stream way too soon but when Hextall landed a punch right on Potvins face the fight was over.

    Winner Hextall.

  • @ewoe21 no potvin killed hextall

  • potvin FTW

  • Felix, you are a braver man than most. Not too many players would want to go against Heztall.

  • hextalls such a gooon
