Bob Nystrom vs Mel Bridgman rd.1

[harwicke]

The toilet the fish sticks inhabit is the leagues biggest embarrassment.

[Flyers20Fan]

bridgman might be the most underrated fighter to ever player, its hard to make that claim tho but he is definitely one of the most underrated, the guy rarely lost and has wins against people like nystrom, o'reilly and more, if u search him on youtube, good luck finding a fight where he lost, i still dont think i hav seen one

[meanwiddlekid]

@Flyers20Fan

No.  Bridgman has been claimed to be so underrated he's become overrated. He nay have been the best fighter on that team but none of them ever fought their own battles anyway.

[harwicke]

@meanwiddlekid God, you are dumb. Loser.

[yimmitznarf]

A young Gillies would scare anyone. He was fast, strong, and mean. He was also a hell of a player. 

[siddy17]

Wow...I had absolutely no idea that Ross Lonsberry could drop the gloves!!! He looked awesome.

[morningman33]

This a great clip...lots of clips of Bridgeman rearanging the faces of pussy Islanders...nut RosCo, Ross Londsberry(sp) beating the shit out of Hart is like bonus BJ night...Hart was dirty player and Rosco didn't fight much he was a good fighter...What a treat...

Flyers Rule...Always have...Always will

[bareknuckles2u]

It's too bad the NY Islanders franchise, a once proud organization, has been run into the ground.

[MrStones64]

Bob "knuckles" Nystrom?  give me a break Bridgman was a better fighter historically.

[SCROGY]

@MrStones64 You're going to use this joke of a "fight' to make that call? This wasn't even a fight. Bobby had a better record and fought more top fighters than Mel. Mel couldn't carry Thor's equipment bag as a player or a fighter.

[MrStones64]

@SCROGY don't think so. I guess Nystrom jumping Fotiu from behind(we all know Nicky would have kicked his ass) counts as a win in a 5-second mounting? Nystrom never gave anyone an ass-kicking. He was a scrotum tool.

[SCROGY]

@MrStones64 1) You're speculating on the outcome

2) Nystrom never kicked anyone's ass? Ok dude. You obviously have never seen any of his fights because he pounded Wensink, Kelly, Dykstra, Bridgeman, Korn and plenty of others. Thor won far more fights than he lost.

3) What's your irrational hate for Bob, did he beat a fighter you have an attachment to?

[MrStones64]

@SCROGY no speculation.. Fotiu was simply a better fighter. He boxed in the Golden Gloves.

[SCROGY]

@MrStones64 Dude boxing or Judo or wrestling has SHIT to do with fighting on the ice. If that were true Flody Mayweather could beat Behn Wilson or Bob Probert. Just because you can fight off the ice doesn't mean you can fight on skates. Anyone that knows anything about fighting knows this.......

[MrStones64]

@SCROGY not necessarily. Probert boxed. Did you know that??? I'd say he could beat anybody on their best days.

[SCROGY]

@MrStones64 He was an exception. Dwight Schofield and Kevin Hatcher boxed (at the Kronk gym) too, and they were nothing special as fighters. Kieth Magnusson did martial arts and he sucked total balls as a hockey fighter.

[MrStones64]

@SCROGY well, anyone that saw Fotiu fight knows he was the man. No question.

[SCROGY]

@MrStones64 Yes I did. But there is little that Bob would have picked up in boxing that would carry over to standing on a 1/8" steel blade.

[MrStones64]

@SCROGY speculation or not, nystrom isn't one of the guys you would pick to beat Probert. Maybe Gillies when he was younger, because Gillies was the best fighter on that team.

[SCROGY]

@MrStones64 Actually I would pick Nystrom for one reason. Gillies didn't have Nystroms cardio. Nystrom was know for never quitting if the fight went into the late rounds. I'll agree with you that Gillies was probably the more dangerous fighter because of his size (he usually pounded or overwhelmed guys), but remember Probert is a late rounds fighter and so is Nystrom. I don't see Gillies pounding Probert, but I do think a Probert-Nystrom fight would resemble the Probert-McSorley marathon.

[proton3227]

@MrStones64 Nystrom did not beat Fotiu...he mugged him.  Nystrom was indeed a tool.

[MrJuha82]

Bridgman landed better/harder and Nystrom wasnt good at all here, as he was passive of the two.

NARROW WINNer is M.Bridgman!

[gumbylips05]

nice quality douche bag

[leafyutube]

Nice crystal clear digital HD picture.

[jimsboy1mike]

@leafyutube Hilarious!  I thought I was watching Avitar

[MrStones64]

islanders suck cock-4 great years and shit otherwise.

[MrSinister99]

@MrStones64 Actually arse wipe...they dominated the league from 1977 to 1984! Eight years of dominance like likes that the panty wearing Flyers have NEVER had! and never will! I wouldn't trade my teams accomplishments, and memories for your shitty cities TEAMS in a billion years LOL...wait, the NY ISLANDERS have won MORE championships as a franchise, then EVERY SINGLE PHILTHYDEPHIA TEAM COMBINED!!!! LOL what a loser city! The city of Losers, hey, great adage!

[MrStones64]

@MrSinister99 i'm not from philly. I'm from long island. Just stating fact that the Islanders franchise is a joke. Keep living in the past if it makes you happy. The flyers will surpass the islanders in championships no matter how long it takes because the islanders will never win again.

[zpie587]

@MrSinister99 76-77 lost in semis, 77-78 lost in first round, 83-84 lost in finals in five. I'll give the Islanders their due - they were a dynasty and a great team but to say they ruled the league from 77-84 is a joke. Btw, Flyers: 2 cups, Sixers: 2 championships in Philly, 1 in Syracuse, Philllies: 2 WS wins, Eagles: 3 League Championships, Philadelphia A's: 5 WS wins.

[harwicke]

Islanders lucky the whole crap franchise hasn't been sent to Hamilton. Meanwhile the Flyers have had sellouts for the last 35 years.

[lakeerie90s]

@harwicke yes, but so have the toronto maple laughs, sell outs for the last 43 years in fact, but haven't even made to the finals once during that time.

[harwicke]

@lakeerie90s Leafs fans are the most loyal fans in all of pro sports.

[malawri67]

@harwicke they are also the most desperate of all,with such a sorry organisation.

Laughs SUX!

[malawri67]

@lakeerie90s lol!;)

[meanwiddlekid]

@harwicke

To go along with their zero Cups for the last 35 years.

[harwicke]

@meanwiddlekid When do you think the Isles will get back to MAKING the playoffs...Fishsticks.. Beyond pitiful.

[meanwiddlekid]

@harwicke

Never. And that's too soon. Just like your shitty city. If you can still set foot in it and not get shot.

[tylercurvesthebullet]

Mel coached my midget A team during the Memorial day tournament. haha hes a great guy but now he tells us not to hit anybody haha

[clagarqc]

Islanders 4 Stanley Cups....Flyers(jerks) only 2 and it will stay there...

[MNWildfan72]

"jerks" is right.  asshole fans, too.

[dzanier]

1975-1976 season.
