Daniel Girardi vs Travis Zajac Dec 12, 2008

[maschichas]

@jonjugg first of all Girardi obviously starts the fight with him because he thought he was the one who pushed him, we can see it wasn't but he can't so he goes for it. Second, when Dan Carcillo goes after Gaborik you can see Girardi pulling him off Gaborik but other philly players were pushing him off and he obviously doesn't feel like starting another fight.

[abailadera]

I love it..Parise jabs Giradi in the back and went straight to the play..Dan turned and thought it was travis that hit em LMAo nice zach haha way to fuel the fire

[SouthPawKingOC]

"Travis might have still been stunned from the hit." No Chico, he just got his ass kicked.

[hkymike]

HAHAHA!! Zajac got owned! That is a Devil for ya! Rangers baby!

[blahblahblah4398]

i love it when i see my old coaches kid fighting...even when he got shit pumped., lol

[jonjugg]

That sums Girardi up perfectly- totally willing to drop the gloves with someone like Travis Zajac, who's never had a fight in his career, yet he stood 3 feet away while Dan Carcillo brutally assaulted Gaborik without even making an attempt to get involved in a total mismatch involving his team's best player. What a gutless pussy- doesn't have the sack to intervene with Carcillo, but willing to fight Zajac- real character guy, there.

[bitch17376]

@jonjugg calling girardi a gutless pussy behind a computer screen yeah you sound like a real character guy there;)

[jonjugg]

@bitch17376 You know what, you're absolutely right, bitch17376. Maybe I'll go down to the Rangers practice rink, wait for him in the parking lot, insult him man to man and try to fight him in person- that would be a real "character" move, right? Are you retarded, 11 years old, or both? What realistic suggestion do you have that would let me make my point but still be a "character" guy?

[rangerhockey14]

@jonjugg someones a little mad that zajac is a pussy bitch...

[WHERED0BABIESC0MFROM]

@jonjugg ya how about u watch a game, does girardi vs hartnell ring a bell?

[IAMBLACKSTIG]

@garrettNJD30 don't remind me....were in a rebuilding faze....but honestly if the devils had wade redden they would be shit too..he is just like AIDS in Africa he fucks everything up for everyone else

[zonkedforlife2]

WHAT IS THE BACKGROUND MUSIC CALLED???

[garrettNJD30]

Girardi is hot garbage. Zajac is emerging as one of the best two-way forwards in the game. The rangers blow. Nothing new here.

[zonkedforlife2]

@garrettNJD30 thats we she said

[gifted4]

girardi fighting zajac is ... like a rock fighting scissors.

zajac is not even a fighter, and girardi picking on zajac is stupid. i hope he enjoyed his major for punching after zajac fell on the ground.

[Ryrannasaurus]

@gifted4 girardi wasnt picking on Zajac, he just had an amazing fair hit on him and zajac retaliated.

[peteblessyou]

@gifted4 And Girardi is a fighter???

[ch15C]

zajac didnt even want to fight girardi. parise cross checked him and he thought it was zajac.. i would like to see this fight if they squared off first.

[beercity]

girardis afraid to step up to carcillo when he fouled up gaborik, but fights zajac? real tough guy.

[jos0531]

i'd love to hear what you think of carcillo.

[zonkedforlife2]

what is the song called that you hear during the replay? plz tell me

[undeadwarr7001]

LOL Parise hit em in the back and when he turned he thought Zajac hit em LOL. Doesnt matter NJD are a way better team and we just shut you fags out 2 nights ago so its all good

[rangerhockey14]

hahaa girardi bitch made zajac!!

[jhague89]

hahahah zajacs a  little bitch. totally got owned by girardi

[Escuderoam]

woah, Girardi DESTROYED Zajac

[pacmanghostx]

Fuck attendance.

The next time you go to The Rock, just look at all that fabric up in the rafters, and I'm not talking about Cups, I'm talking about the end of the rink with our Division achievements. The Atlantic Division has been won by NJ eight out of the last twelve seasons.

Oh, and the Prudential Center's capacity is smaller than the average attendance of the Top-14 Drawing teams in the league. The Devils are automatically in the bottom half of the league in attendance every season.

[pacmanghostx]

Oh, and in addition to the point I just made about the Prudential Center's size, think of it this way...

The Edmonton Oilers are 19th in the league in attendance with an average of 16,839 per game, yet that is 100% of Rexall Place's capacity.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are 18ths in the league and they draw only 16,972 per game, yet that is nearly 103% (not 100%) of Mellon Arena's capacity.

And the Islanders, dead last in the league, only 13,773 per game, but that's still 85% capacity for them.

[bakes789]

all the fabric in the rafters, above all the fabric of the empty seats. bankrupt in 5 years

[pacmanghostx]

People have been saying that the Devils would be bankrupt in five years... 27 years ago...

Pick a new cheapshot.

[mirzayanov]

no matter who the rangers get they will always suck, I'm not saying that because I'm a devils fan its that every rangers fans I talk to even admitt that, redden was a great player until he came to the rangers so was naslund and so was zherdev and so was drury, yea the rangers shutout the devils in '08 when the devils had there worse team as opposed to when the rangers had their best, if half of the players left the rangers they would be superstars on other teams

[TriFF51]

What are you trying to say? There's some curse....naslunds play was the same as it had been the two previous seasons with the canucks, zherdev was an underachiever with the jackets and he was second on the rangers in points so he didn't get any worse.

[mirzayanov]

Yea thats the sad part Zherdev being the 2nd in points, I change my mind about naslund though, he was good on the canucks but somewhere like in '06 or '04 he got worse, thats why the canucks gave up their captain simply because he wasn't doing well, same thing happen when the sharks gave up owen nolan back in '03 to the maple leafs when he was a captain for the sharks, because he wasn't producing

[mirzayanov]

Its not a curse, you can have all the good players you want but until you have a team you can't win shit, with the kind of players the rangers have they should be no worse than the red wings

[icemanack]

Actually 15,790 & still only managed to reach 23rd out of 30 teams in attendance. Which makes you about as interesting to watch as Columbus, Nashville, Florida & the Islanders. So like I said IRRELEVANT in the NHL. How long are you gonna live off those three cups? You forgot to bring up how you made the playoffs twelve years in a row. Of course you've done nothing with that the last 8. By the way, this has nothing to do with me being a Rangers fan. I just don't like coma inducing hockey.

[theblueguy0889]

Hell yea icemanak devils hockey is just boring plain and simple its almost impossible to watch and those awful announcers truly make it impossible to watch(for anyone with self respect and an IQ over 80) Im sooo sick of hearing how the devils one three cups how long can your ride those three fucking cups what about the past 8 years where you havent done shit? devils fans are blind to the truth that is thier shitty little hockey team have fun in jersey you scum of the earth NY shits in NJbtw

[icemanack]

I love how Devils fans actually think their team matters. It doesn't matter how many cups they win. The Devils will always be irrelevant in this league. I guess people love em though. You can tell by the 7,000 strong that show up to the games on a nightly basis.

[DevilsFan973]

Sorry the Devils averaged over 16,000 you idiot, and a Rangers fan using attendance as a source, how about actual success. 3 cups since your last one LOL.

[shawnjohnsongbpack50]

yeah blue guys.... mickey mouse organization? 3 stanley cups in 9 years. 3 since 1995 how many have the rangers won?

[theblueguy0889]

Who gives a fuck about you 2 and a half cups your team is shit now and has been that way for a few years (since your last cup) I mean you almost got swept by us a year or two ago and now you can barley beat the islanders your teams on a downward spiral i dont give a shit how many records that fat fuck marty might break this year hes only playing for the records anyway u dipshit

[Regulus6891]

Girardi crushed Zajac, no if's, and's, or but's.

That's to be expected though, as both are young and growing players at about the same skill level.

The difference being Girardi is a defensive D man who hits, and Zajac being a passive play making forward.

[DevilsFan973]

giardi is garbage, Zajac is better then your shitty Zherdev.

[theblueguy0889]

yea we shall see how well you do against us this year without your boy scotty clemmensen. in the past two or three seasons the rangers have destroyed the devils everytime that washed up peice of shit marty has been in goal why dont you go get shutout by the islanders again.

[DevilsFan973]

Are you serious? Scott Clemmensen is absolute shit just like the Rangers, you will suck and will never place ahead of us in the standings. You are failures, when was the last time the Rangers got past the second round LOL?

[TONYrandazzo1]

yeaa danny boy!

and the dumb announcer announced zajacs loos due to bien "stunned" from the hit.

DEVILS SUCK!

RANGERS 09-10 SEASON BABY!!!

[zherdev14]

dan girardi destroyed zajac

[AEMoreira81]

This is an odd one---I would have expected this to be David Clarkson.

[shawnjohnsongbpack50]

guys. girardi is like 5 times the size of zajac. plus zajac is 1000000000 times better than that no namer will ever be

[TriFF51]

Zajac is 6'2 200....Girardi is 6'2 210

[Watchmen09]

thats just wrong. look at them standing side by side. there is NO WAY they are the same height. zajacs head top is at dans chin. they can both be 6'2.

[TriFF51]

Well thats what NHL(.)com says...point is, the guy was wrong saying girardi is 5 times zajacs size.

[dmak646]

girardi WISHESSSSSSSSSS he could play as good as zajac!!! but travis.... please stick to playmaking lol leave the fighting to rupp or clarkson

[theblueguy0889]

Yea give me a fuckin break guy im not saying that girardi is a big name or anything but no one gives a fuck about travis zajac outside of new jersey let along knows who he is. Zajac is absolute shit along with the rest of your mickey mouse team go suck martys lil chub

[TriFF51]

if zajac had hit girardi you better believe chico would've went crazy...instead of not even acknowledging the hit like he did.

[aypee16]

wow girardi just absolutely destroyed zajac... huge hit then a couple shots right to the face ahhaha, way to go zajac!

[ricktheprick12]

lol girardi crushes him then pops him, whatta prick

[d2jeter81]

what a fucking horrible announcer how do u not mention a monster hit like that has its happening..he kept talking baout his gay story,,horrible chico

[mcgowakt]

chico is such a homer

[QarlosKarlos]

Girardi is a fabulous defenseman - I'm happy he's on our team!

[maimingbetty]

I still love yah Zajac! Girardi was just being a sore ass bitch because we were kicking their asses. Go Devils!

[corruptedyouth75]

... Or maybe Girardi was just playing a game called Hockey. When you get the chance, you hit like that. Not to mention Zajac went after Girardi once he got up... Bad decision making.

[rangerhockey14]

thats a rape fest

[BleedBlue1994]

haha this is great, first girardi drops him with a huge hit, and then drops him again with a punch. LETS GO RANGERS!!!

[LetsGoRangers95]

ok everyone shut up that was a clean hit period their was nothing wrong with that hit and then the fight zajac got nocked the fuck out woooooo. LETS GO RANGERS!

[SucksNerd]

Hey fuck head myirga, you have no clue what you are talking about do you?It was a fair hit, Zajac had his head down which everybody knows, if you have your head down your gonna get your ass knocked down.Your just a fucking typical Devils fan, always trying to make excuses when your players get their asses kicked.Giradi fucking KILLED him.Haha Zajac didn't even have a chance.

[NYranngersgirl23]

Haha Yeah Girardi! He did nail Zajac! Then he got up and knocked him down again! Haha Go Girardi!

[shutupbi]

giaradi nailed him

[tracerxy]

That Zajac is a terrible person for tryin' to hurt my cousins fist with his chin...HAHAHAHAHA !!!!

[Gmets31]

Nobody cares if hes your cousin, tell him to skate with his head up next time

[hawkharley]

OK.. this is simple.. Girardi rocked him with a clean open ice hit.. elbows down.. no shoulder even.. good clean hit.. G is not a scrapper or a cheap shot artist.. just an old school tough (& complete) hockey player.. Zajac got rocked x 2.. He obviously wanted to go after the hit.. G knew it and was ready.. any of you guys that played the game know when it is going to happen so best be frickin ready.. G was.. end of story..

[kingryge]

from that dirty hit he gave trav a concussion,...

he didnt even knew he fought

[ryanleo3]

if he got a concussion from that clean hit he wouldn't be playing right now...

[pimpchia]

woooooooooo thats how welland boys represent

just tunin that fag atta boy girardi, play maker, goal scorer and fighter!!!

[s2killa]

are devils fans watching the same video as everyone else???

1. there is no way in hell girardi "sucker punched" zajac

2. zajac is a little bitch that got rocked twice... i dont care how hard it is to get up after you get laid out and try to fight... heres some advice, dont try and act like a tough guy then...

3. and dont fight with a visor on... fuckin pussy...

[myirga]

Zajac wasn't trying to act like a tough guy

Girardi totally cheated by body-checking Zajac unfairly

[s2killa]

hahaha i hope you you are being sarcastic...

and in noooooo way was that a dirty hit kingryge... wipe the mans milk from your eyes and watch it again...

[myirga]

wat u talking about??

Girardi came out of nowhere and totally knocked out Zajac UNFAIRLY when Zajac wasn't even facing him....

and then Zajac came back up and got ass kicked fairly...... but the first body-check by Girardi was totally cheapshot

[WristShot527]

CHEAPSHOT???!!! Who cares if the hit came out of nowhere. It's still a clean and was a clean hit! Zajac had his head down and Girardi told him to keep it up after that hit. I'll give him credit for standing up for himself but he got embarrassed a second time again by Girardi.

[Gmets31]

Came outta nowhere? more like came straight at him, Zajac had his head down and if anythings unfair its the fact that you devils fans are giving Girardi a bad rap for a clean hit on a simple mistake of Zajacs

[myirga]

i am NOT a Devils fan... i HATE the stupid Devils

I'm a Flyers fan my entire life.... Devils are a team that i hate and hate just like the ugly Montreal Canadiens team

Go Flyers!!

[maimingbetty]

and the devils hate you.

[myirga]

radical.... i don't want u devils loving me lol..... Flyers are the team to win the cup this year, Devils are good, but Flyers are still better

[maimingbetty]

haha, we'll seeeeeeee.

[myirga]

i'm just wondering wat will happen when Brodeur returns... r u guys gonna sell him for like a bunch of 1st round picks?? or are u gonna get rid of Clemmenson??

give one of them to Washington, they need a goalie badly lol

[harbordocks]

yea wtf are you talking about? you skate with your head down you're gonna get laid out, just like zajac. And then the fool got beat down badly. i dont know what was worse the hit or the beat down.

[mcgowakt]

king know what your talking about that was girardi's first fight. Zajac has scored what 2 goals now against the Rangers in his career so about 25 games. I couldn't give a shit is he was your cousin, he got destroyed by a better hockey player.

[girardi05]

wrong, girardi make 1,700,000 (1.7)million this year

next year 1.8 million

2nd, Girardi lays out everyone, hossa, malkin and crosby all in the same shift last playoffs.

Stop ruining your mouth cause you know he won and he knocked his ass out. And dan will continue knocking people out when they talk shit.

Who said they are dans cousin? anyone?

[kingryge]

hey my cousin makes twice as much as yours

[hockey4ever30]

zajac makes $984,200

girardi makes $1,500,000

[kingryge]

haha opps

saw something that said

550,00 for

girardi, must have beeen before his new contract...

[tracerxy]

hey kingryge...my cousin bounced yours....HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[BigRedYeti]

Keep your head up, Zajac...you dumbfuck. And keep your mitts on too while you're at it.

[JCastle420]

lol. Well said!

[kingryge]

hahah

watch the vid u idot

trav was skating away

and giradrdi talked shit.

zajac is a pussy fuck u..

hes my cousin and lit up your fucking tendy, we have our fucking backup in and won LMFAO

thats embrassing...losing to a team who has a back up goaile who played what 5 games last yr... lmfao slap to theface.

[ryanleo3]

41 seconds in the video, zajac gets up and goes immediately back to girardi. continue watching, the fight was mutual and he just got destroyed

[JCastle420]

I hate idiots who claim every hockey player is their cousin... get your own life and stop trying to live someone elses.

[headsh0ot]

nice that was awsome nyr koing that littel girl team

[graves0927]

that wasn't a cheap shot, watch the video they drop the gloves at the same time. zajac must have still been fucked up from that hit and cuz he's a little bitch

[kingryge]

girardi is one ugly fuck

[kingryge]

giradri a guy who fights often,

or zajac, who had he first fight of his career... giradri is a little bitch...oh yah.

who had two snipes that game..?

trav ...

[MBHockey]

girardi fights often? That might have been girardi's 1st nhl fight. don't be mad zajac is a puss.

[ryanleo3]

zajac is a little bitch. he cant accept a good clean hit and carry on, he has to run his mouth and start acting like a tough guy. girardi simply proves how tough he is.

and that was girardi's first fight sooooo get your facts straight before you stir up a debate

[pillowpop]

hahah got creamed like little bitch..twice!

[ch15C]

Girardi's such a little bitch giving a sucker punch like that.

hes just mad zajac embarrassed them for his second goal of the night..... ugly sucker punch hes should be ashamed what a pussy.

[hybridsoldier300]

What sucker punch are you talking about? Girardi leveled Zajac. Zajac got up and tried to act tougher than he is and was running his mouth. Notice how Girardi started to skate away from Zajac after he hit him, then turned around after Zajac was running his mouth. They dropped the gloves at the same time. After the gloves are dropped, there are no sucker punches b.c dropping the gloves means u want to fight, and therefore expect to get hit. Girardi's just way tougher than Zajac.

[ch15C]

i could really care less

[hybridsoldier300]

if you could really care less, you wouldn't have been bitching about it in the first place

[NDfan1992]

really, what fucking cheapshot, the completely legal check or punching Zajac had given his consent to fight

[hybridsoldier300]

you're probably the average devils fan that doesn't know jack shit about hockey. Like i said before, girardi hit zajac. a clean hit, but could be considered borderline dirty, at the most. Then after Zajac got up, he tried to be all tough, ran his mouth, and couldn't back it up with a fight. if anything, Zajac dropped his gloves a split second after Girardi. either way you consider it, he brought it himself.

[toooeboi]

that was such a cheap punch..

[bbnewyork]

You just got knockedthefuckout!

[kiernan8666]

Do any of you know how hard it is to get up and challenge somebody to a fight after you get smoked open ice.

[slaughterer01]

Good on Zajac to get up and stand up for himself, too bad he slipped on the ice and fell.

[mcgowakt]

and zajac got owned with a visor on which makes me laugh

[Nocashstyle]

Zajac isn't a fighter at all. the devils killing the ranger makes me laugh

[mcgowakt]

if girardi and staal weren't playing as a pair, our defense would be worse than they already are

[ryanleo3]

they dont play as a pair, girardi has been with redden and staal has been with mara or rozsival

[s2killa]

best line: " Zajac went flying and immediately got back up in his face "

What he should have said was, " Zajac got laid the fuck out, and got up and tried to be a tough guy and got knocked the fuck out!!! "

[bmitchelf]

Zajac should be careful what he wishes for, getting his face punched in five times, more embarrassment after the hit.

[LoFFeN1987]

Zajac got destroyed twice.

[matt3135]

zajac is a bitch

[Ahhh26]

Girardi...holy shit knocked the fuck out!

[seehound619]

HAHAHAHAHAHA..... keep your head up zajac...bet he dont make that mistake again soon...... that was like watching someone get hit by a car.

[wingsfan28]

zajac fucking owned in this game! couple points, fight, not too bad of a night

[Homeskillet1991]

he also got fucking owned.

[ZuljinRaynor]

As did Queen Henry.

[s2killa]

yeah your first regular season win over us in over a year... shut the fuck up bitch...

[ZuljinRaynor]

2 in 40 was it? Versus 3 in 9?

[hybridsoldier300]

i think its funny how a team like the devils can win 3 stanley cups, a reasonably short amount of time, and still ,nobody giving a shit about them whatsoever. At the Ranger-Devil games, the Ranger fans pretty much out number the Devils fans. IF the people from NJ gave a shit, they'd sellout more than a few games per season, and not just playoff games.

[damnnnnnshorty]

they sell out playoff games?

[ZuljinRaynor]

Except against Tampa probably.

[ZuljinRaynor]

You know, considering how NY and PHI surround NJ, it's not surprising they have more fans. South Jersey is basically Philly and north has always been NY fans bleeding into NJ.

[Dubinsky98]

FUCKIN GIRADI OWNED GAY ASS ZAJAC
