[CanadianStreetHockey]

[G00n3r4Life]

@khav11 cairns had blood running down his face

[khav11]

@G00n3r4Life terrible argument go away

[G00n3r4Life]

@khav11 You're rubbish at observation so i thought id state the obvious.

[khav11]

@G00n3r4Life cairns landed the best punches even tko belak clear win cairns just leave

[khav11]

@G00n3r4Life cairns also won the game of like dummy

[hockeykidii]

wow. i had no idea there was hockey in the UK.

[sj19sharks]

was it belak he was trying to go after in the beginning?

cairns should be embarrassed after this.

[trampbiker]

wow that was wild.. didnt expect to see that

[m93dape]

is this in england?

[Bizkit226]

@m93dape Yes :D

[stonersid]

this was 2003/4 i believe the london racers were put together very quickly and had no fan base, when i said 600 i was being generous trust me!

[Bizkit226]

@stonersid Yes that was the racers back in the 2003/4 season but in your last comment you made it sound as if crowds are regular like that over here now, but it's not.

[erudzitis84]

great

[lagstronaut]

Tony Hand

[shackel11]

The "Rock"- lost his mind yeaH!

[essaw]

Wade Belak playing for Coventry during the NHL lockout was awsome.

Greatest period in the Blaze's history

[Nirvana1313]

This just says what kind of a player Belak really is. Goes to Play in Europe for one year and has the crowd chanting his name. He is far from an all star and he won't be in the hall of fame, but he's such an underrated character guy. Both fans and teammates love to have around. Miss him so much in Toronto, it was hard to see him go.

[Jude2Mahoney]

God I remember this happening at the time. Great fight, poor show in the run up to it though...

[Briggsy1875]

to anybody saying Cairns won, well the only player bleeding after this fight was cairns who got cut big time above one if his eyebrows.

[stonersid]

i'll try to put the record straight...this was during the nhl lockout where a few fringe players of the nhl came to england to play in....what over here is a minor sport.

im a leafs fan and therefore have no need to defend cairns, but i will.

the touchpaper needed lighting on british hockey, crowds as low as 600 people are regular here, cairns made good tv, good debates on radio stations nationwide, and made hockey for 5 minutes important here.

its all about bums on seats!!

[icehockeyuk]

@stonersid

the elite league is on sky, plus the average crowd in the elite league is over 2,000 and there are no crowds of 600

[MrJuha82]

Great fight, NARROW WIN E.Cairns.

[Greg676]

belak belak belak belak! love it!

[khav11]

@Greg676 u love the fact he got trashed ..lol have a clue pls

[Greg676]

@khav11 he never got trashed, what are you talking about?

[khav11]

@Greg676 he got utterly analed by cairnsy k thx

[HellWolfsSwankyGrave]

Whys everybody saying Belak won ? He didnt do anything ! Couldnt even take his stupid facemask off for the fight . Oh you guys were rooting for him to take his clothes off . Then yer winners like Belak I guess

[TheHunted113]

Cairns clearly won!

[werekilledbycowards]

whats the point in fighting on ice 99% of the time u dont k.o n e one?

[hwksfan]

Cairnes is the worst hockey player of all time. The reason he keeps losing his mind is because the leagues he has played in let him. Slaps on the wrists for going after a ref are easy to get over, and lets him do it agin. but really, FUCK ERIC CAIRNES, and his crack head whore of a mother. GO HAWKS!!!!

[NBDGardy]

Belak smashes the head of him haha

[khav11]

not really fatass

[martypowers]

Always nice to see teh chavs get beaten up.

[calgarywilly]

nr 3 of the white team gave him a round and a nice round

ps

what a prick

[cekim67]

what a prick

[birdmandipset]

gotta love the lil sucker by cairns on the way out lol

[Philhockey20]

Then why did they make him a Free Agent in NHL10?:S

Yea I thought he was retired! thks

[birdmandipset]

cairns got filled u retard

[Philhockey20]

lmaoo punches some random guy in the ear and Cairns doesin't play anymore does he? is he in the AHL or something?

[KingLubos]

now he's retired

[pudgekyle1]

wow that was unexspected how long of suspension did he get?

[greymilton]

Cairns looked like an ass. The refs should have ejected him immediatley when her refused to get in the penalty box.

[pblackhawks88]

Holy Shit!

[dirkdriftwood]

are you on crack?...cairns kicked his ass

[BenKnuxxy]

Belak 1 - 0 Cairns

+ Cairns is retarded for thinkin he could take on the whole blaze bench.

[Reaper33X]

what a tool!

Sums up British hockey in one.

[lilitalian1847]

lol, Cairns is awsome! Everybody has to snap sometime

[Crispy27]

Wow, this surprises the hell out of me. Cairns was always one to follow 'The Code' to the letter. Here he's cheap shotting and punching refs. Very out of character for the guy. I'm a huge Cairns fan, but this is just disgusting.

[IAMCANADIAN1998]

@Crispy27 Dude, Cairns sucks. This isn't out of character, and among modern athletes, there is no 'code.' That's just Hockey News BS.

[Crispy27]

He's scouting for the Isles, mate, not the Rangers.

[VonMuff]

During the locout, yeah. Cairns hasn't played for the Pens or in the NHL since like 06

[tropicalinc1]

after the lockout cairns went and played for pittsburgh in i think the 08 season ...

[joneyer]

lol british hockey player can't fight hehe no balance

[VonMuff]

Except they're both canadian and from the NHL. They were playing over here during the lockout

[M1cvyo]

Belak now plays for the Preds.

[TheWebBard]

Cairns is one of the greatest Isles of the last 15 years!

[pepsigenerate]

nodch on belak in this one ,tripped on a lace from a glove, but it was all belak there.... cairns was really angry here ,but didn,t scare belak one bit..so belak gave him a beating.{belak just wanted cairns to settle down here}, so belak took it easy on cairns, {cool heads prevailed after the fight... it wasn,t one of belak,s good fights ,.. he was more the sheriff here.

[Kurzgan]

Wow look at all the keyboard warriors!! you are are the TOUGHEST! LOL!

Lace up a pair of skates and go out there and stand in front of a guy who is 6'6" 230 lbs and then post here :)

[Reluctant]

I remember this like it was yesterday, Cairns was such a prick! You can't go after the officials like that.

[tomgledhill]

Cairns, what a psycho. Russ cowley should have gone after him when he got cheapshotted by him, although he would have got destroyed by him

[XGARDNERX71]

cairnsy= pussy Belak= HERO

[jbold5]

hahah look at the screen at 1:37 like to the left of the screen look at the 2 players goin at it ahaha

[twoislander]

cairns won the most punches in the face, could'nt fight in the nhl , now he gets punched out in london,, what a pussy,speedbag... waaaaaaahhhhh

[hollaXboi]

wow that guy is a little prick!

[tr68]

This is not old time hockey.. that display from cairns was an absolute joke.

[PocketHercules99]

can you say " alcoholic wife beater "

good job belak would've been sweet if he put him to sleep

[TheMetalChick]

Man was Cairnsy pissed off!

LOL- I love him though and Im glad he is still part of the Islanders organization.

[zciweiksim]

This reminded me of grade school, when some loser would spazz out, and its just so entertaining, because they look like such a goof. Even better when Belak smokes him in the fight. Always good to watch some mentally unstable person go off...keep up the good work Cairns, you douchebag.

[flamingdudette]

look at that lil nip he gives russ cowley at the end there.. as if everything else wasn't enough lol

[Turecast]

As a former American hockey official, I hope this dude got a lifetime suspension. If this happened in Canada, he'd probably have a long conversation with the local Crown Counsel. Somebody post, please.....

[VIVIsectVI]

eric got owned by wade.

belak! belak! belak!

[igobykp]

OLD TIME HOCKEY! and in England no less! Listen to them Brits, they love this stuff!

[scottwiggins1973]

Hmm, I was there it took an hour to finish the first period. There was another cracking dust up that started immediately after as well. Cairns was banned from all the remaining games in the league.

[aljanadcob]

wow i never knew cairns was such a hothead.he wanted his pound of flesh hell or highwater.

[TheEqualist]

Well, yeah. He's 6-6, 255 pounds. He's a force to be reckoned with. Hopefully, he gets back into the NHL. He's perfect for protecting small guys.

[Tim5213]

cairns won you fucking retards

[dudeLaurence]

he got sttttttrrrrrriiiiiiiipppped!

[03edwardsa]

haha! if u cant find any one on the ice, just jump into the opposing teams bench and punch the nearest player!

[cod120]

haha cairns got his cunt knocked in what a big fucking fanny

[ProbertFire]

Huh? Belak doesn't drop the visor AND he loses the fight.

You're an idiot.

[cod120]

your a tit so shut the fuck up ya prick

[ProbertFire]

Go grab a cup of tea and stick your pinky out, you fairy. You're blind and a fruit.

Go suck a dick you flamin' sissy.

[cod120]

[ProbertFire]

"like your mum did to mine"

What the fuck does that mean, you inbred dicklicker??

And talk fucking English you confused twat...you make no sense.

How was the tea? You butt-fucked little swisher. Did you get the burgundy panataloons from your Mommy for your b/day?

Queer.

[cod120]

im bored with you now so fuck off and go fuck your ugly mum whilst your dad shoves his dick up your arse you canuck cunt.

[ProbertFire]

"im bored with you now" = just got OWNED

See you around you penis-worshipping Limey queer!

Wow, you used "whilst" in a sentence! You're kinda like Shakespeare! Except not as manly! HAHAHAHAHAAA!!

Pip pip and Tally-Ho! You pathetic faggot.

[allhockey]

hahahahh omg best comeback...ur a tit lol...cod120 easily won this fight

[mccarthy155]

cairns is a pussy- i say that and he is from my town. what a bitch too bad belak didn't knock him out

[soad316]

lmao he got all helmet when he was leaving ice if you gonna cheap shot make it a good one jesus

[Pellefanten]

I wish I where at this game....Damn

[xoxoxmaddiexoxox]

go cairns love yooh

[ibeleaf]

cairns is a bitch... BELAK BELAK BELAK BELAK! toronto misses you!

[marshallbanon]

that cairns is a piece of work

[idonteatduckfeet]

atta boy wade

[Gdragon09]

I say Belak won the fight lol:P:P:D

[mardgn81]

lol that was ridiculous. It seemed like after he punched the ref he was just like "oh well, I'm going to be suspended for a long time... screw this league I'm going to get my money's worth." And he just went insane.

[Warrior2137]

Wow, he sucker punches a ref, a player on the bench, then an unsuspecting player. *clap* Way to go Cairns, ya fuckin' hero.

[cnaugzz]

what a goon lol, thats the way hockey should be played

[ingenframtid]

That's a very cute visor Belak is wearing

[PositiveChillout]

What a faggot punch at 2:29 what a douchebag!

[deadrisingfan123]

Eric Cairns owns

[TimboBandit]

Eric Cairns is such a little bitch. He thinks just because he's an NHLer he can make a big scene in the EIHL like that, shoving the ref no less.

Brashear was kicked out of the LNAH for less.

[HerpKeeper]

Cairns was kicked out of that league. And Brashear deserved it man, so did cairns.

[JohnUnit]

insane fight, I love it.

[CCampLI]

Belak sucks, blow leafs blow.

Eric is back home with us on Long Island.

[jarcher15]

keep that little faggot back there with ya

[Hopkinator]

LOL, I loved when Cairns was skating off the ice, and he punched that guy in the head.

[xBaitMyScenex]

GO LEAFS GO

[wyldebuzz]

Cairns is a gutless useless sack of crap

[basspro16]

well said

[Boogaardfan24]

i loved when Cairns headed for the bench and bolted to the other bench

[teeoh38]

as far as hockey fights goes fighting a guy without a jersey puts the guy who still has his on at a definite disadvantage cause there is nothing to tie his arms up with whereas the other guy does...belak knew this he's not stupid.

[martymars]

Didn't help him Wade kicked his ass still.

[VIVIsectVI]

what a fucking loser

[danewithers1991]

belak is a machine

[passionwagon33]

cairns is loser bad player and role model to children in crowd hes just plain dumb his moto is, im not clever but i can lift heavy things durr lol

[akhockeyguy]

Belak is a b&%^h for fighting with his visored lid on. He's always been a punk that hides behind the visor when he knows he's got someone on him that'll smoke his ass.

[Ovechkin81]

Belak doesn't use a visor...

[shibbiness]

cairns is a puccy loser, he punched random guys and walked away..

[MolsonIceLndr]

Ahahaha Cairns is fucking awesome...Belak got fucked once he decided to actually fight.

[keef186]

Wade's a KILLER!

[Xclusive412]

Thats Why He Lost? Cairns For Life!!!

[keef186]

Yeah sure buddy. Cairns takes about 4 or 5 shots to the face before they even break free from the rest of the scrum. Cairns is such a tough guy for taking a cheap shot at someone on the bench then tries to hide behind the rest of his team mates before Belak starts using him as a punching bag.

The only reason why all you fags think Cairns won is because Belak obviously was tired after wailing away on Cairns head for a good minute before he actually started fighting.

[Xclusive412]

No, I think cairns won, because he did, it dosen't matter if belek was tired, thats his own fault, cairns owned the fight once they broke away. To everybody said that cairns hit belak while he was down, the refs should have broke it up, but they diddn't.

[TylerShow]

Cairns needs a good shit kicken

[zances]

Cairns hit Belak when he was down

[conleykills23]

Cairns!Cairns!Cairns!Cairns!Ca­irns! He is the shit.

[shadesofreadiness]

you guys should check out belak vs janssen, awesome fight.

[nebukatnesser]

there's two ways to play hockey; the normal way and the canadian way. i think this is the last one... 'though we're in england...

[baddaddi]

Belak won by a bit...I mean Cairns was fricken naked !! that is a HUGE advantage when fighting, hence the jersey(bob probert) rule in the NHL...The Uppercut off the start by Belak was wicked...and Most of Cairns shots hit the back of Belaks head..

Go Wade

oh yah Cairns is quite the tool eh?

[baddaddi]

helmets are only shed if the fight is "arranged" by the players before the game idiot...

[ollie7777]

No it's if you wanna really go toe-to-toe with a guy youll take your helmet off so he does then you can really go at it, if he doesn't you go in hard anyway and call him a pussy if you lose :p

[studma]

whoever posted this you are the man. Cairns is a beast. I love the shot on the other guy at the end, belak knows his job but he cant beat eric.

[shadesofreadiness]

do you even watch hockey studma, belak is an enforcer and one of the best where as eric cairns is goon that gets no respect. he was swinging at everybody. fucking punk

[maxwell94]

Eric Cairns is nothing but an animal he should be in the LNAH not the NHL

[wi77l]

what a fight belak rockx

[crosbyluver]

if he rocks, then why did cairnsey whip him?

[wi77l]

lets see u go toe to to with belak or cairns tough guy it kinda hurts when u get punched and the refs gettin in the way does not help any so its hard to fight on skates also!

[JoeBlow8]

anyone know how big cairns suspension was??

[chavmo101]

i think he was thrown out of the league. i hope wade comes back to the blaze someday

[icechris]

Two year ban from the league, possibly from IIHF leagues as well (Can't remember if it was all IIHF or just British)

[Roz5]

Sorry fuckers, Cairns got him. He landed WAY more than Belak did. Belak makes me laugh. He's one of the "best" fighters in the NHL and he doesn't even shed his helmet. I don't ever remember the tough guys wearing visors either. That's some funny shit.

[MercurySilver]

Cairns is such a dumbfuck. A disgrace to a great sport.

[BrotherSneaks]

Wow, I like Belak so much more now. And I like Cairns so much less...

[BigK0]

lmao Chara isnt tought at all he doesnt even fight all he does is trys to swing people around like a pussy because he cant throw his fists

[warx]

It tells you something when Maxwell, Cornish and Robinson are holding someone back!!!

[callummcpake]

cairns is an idiot. what was the crowd chanting during the actual fight?

[dcskater08]

they were shouting BELAK who was a beast n it looked like Cairns face was ruined

[rayraysworld]

what an absolute dickhead sport. free tickets to see a game were offered at my child's school. should i really take a 7 year old to see this sort of crap?

in any other sport, he would have been arrested. he came across as a real coward to me. i'd knock him out.

[crosbyluver]

see, you're the kind of tea sippin, crumpet munchin, queen lovin, pussy piece of shit that gives the British a reputation for being pansies

[eddievile]

Gotta agree with Crosbyluver. Get a set of balls and take your kid to watch ice hockey.

Our hockey is pretty amateur compared to other countries, but at least the dudes don't dive around crying like our soccer players.

[richardjohn89]

Your kid is going to be a shirtlifter.

[MembrainJ]

Lol... not defending Eric he was in the wrong the whole time but you wouldn't stand a chance against him or Belak for that matter.

Eric is 6' 6" and 243 lbs... i'd pay to see you knock him out

[khav11]

@MembrainJ cairns never has been around 230 throughout his career i wonder if he roided prolly lol

[stadnek]

love how he punches the guy on the way out. lol

[vondebob]

that was a dickhead move.lol my ass dickhead

[Ollied]

lool cairns went went on MAD and that was the last of his biritish hockey :)

[appof]

Jeezus. Cairns hasnt got a chance in hell against Chara. No one has. He is a man among boys.

[hendrix1313]

way to go belak
