Joe Vitale vs Andrew MacDonald Feb 11, 2011

[eddietheguy12]

Vitale kick his ass! Go Pens!

[marsouiccgg]

Not a Pens fan but damn I like the energy that bring Vitale.

[panterror27]

Im not saying you are wrong on bad calls. There is hardly no such thing as a perfect game for referees. So we learn to deal with it but that penalty alone costed the Islanders the game which is pretty hard to forgive.

[panterror27]

The refs were ready to break up the fight because they were right there. They didnt expect Gillies to retaliate after his hit on Tangradi.

[GoPensGo26]

look at how quickly the refs jump in there wen MacDonald went down. Tangradi got punched 10 times before neone came around and it wasnt the refs.

[YamoxD]

#t=0m34s lol pats his ass

[FanOfManyThings5]

The Islanders are the most fucked up professional sports team EVER!

[moviegoer235]

@J060191 That's the most distasteful comment ever you prick....and it not even true the fucking pentagon is in Pennsylvania!!!.....the plane on the way to the white-house came from Pittsburgh...shut up and enjoy your shitty teams

[surffishing275]

joe vitale kicked his ass.

[hskates121]

@italyboyfloyd im not saying that the pens dont have good defenseman i was just talking about that 1 gm macdonalds a good defensman who i think peopke overrate

[peterbeaton8]

uhh pretty sure that Vitale took ahold of his arm than cheap shoted him so props to macdonald for holding his own

[italyboyfloyd]

@peterbeaton8 HAHAHAHA you idiot in a hockey fight its commonplace to tie up someone by holding their jersey. It happens in nearly every fight in the NHL, so no, MacDonald just got his ass beat.

[italyboyfloyd]

@peterbeaton8 And Vitale was holding the center of his jersey, dumbass. No arm holding and MacDonald couldnt do SHIT.

[shaneu13]

FUCK THE ISLANDERS!!!!!! GO RANGERS!!!

[kthoma22]

Way to represent Northeastern.

[13lackLight]

0:34 the reason that guy became a ref was exposed right there.

[msnyder71]

obviously your a pussy if you have to try and punch talbot when hes not looking. the islanders are an embarassment to hockey. the ownership on the team is pretty sad too. oh yeah vitale gave that bitch the BEATDOWN.

[metalofseverance]

@J060191 wow dude you're a fucking piece of shit.

[metalofseverance]

I like the Penguins but I wish Matt Cooke would have been able to skate this game so that faggot would have gotten wrecked. Matt Cooke needs his faggot ass kicked out of the league. The guys a piece of shit.

[NearYa10]

too bad the islanders shots on net arent as much as punches thrown, fucking shit hockey team

[NotMunch]

@J060191 Vitale fights an offensive defenseman. Didn't see him drop the gloves with anyone who is known to throw haymakers. Typical Penguin. Unless it's Godard or Asham, don't expect any other Penguin to fight a real fighter. That includes Cooke & that pussy Talbot.

[italyboyfloyd]

@NotMunch HAHAHAHA Rupp and Engelland drop gloves with anyone, even big bad C. Orr (who Englelland TKO'd), dumbfuck. And people like Grabner or MacDonald would never fight Godard, Asham, Rupp, or Engelland. Vitale and MacDonald are on the same level, and MacDonald got beat bad. Any non fighter in the NHL would not drop gloves with an enforcer, dumbass. And by the way, Talbot fought Haley, even though he got beat, it proves your moist ass wrong.

[penshockey68]

it was a typo, i know they didnt come from quebec

[Dude1015670]

Glad to see Vitale in there. Absolutely destroyed MacDonald.

[nymets6986e]

@Dude1015670 Because McDonald don't fight you jackass

McDonald has never been in a fight before, but he was defending himself. Simple as that so yeah he got spanked but Im sure that Vitale fights a hell of a lot more then McDonald does.

[Dude1015670]

@nymets6986e

Looks like he made an attempt to fight back against Vitale. He threw a few punches, but none of them came close. Besides, after all the crap that the Rangers did that game, he's more than justified in fighting anybody.

Looks like your hocket team sucks by the way.

[nymets6986e]

@Dude1015670 Off course he did lol you just going to sit there and let a dude feast away on you? His punches look like they came from someone who has never engaged in an NHL fight before.

The Islanders sent a message to the NHL that if you want to fuck with us be prepared to deal with the consequences.

[Dude1015670]

@nymets6986e

So technically they both were fighting. But honestly, it doesn't matter that much. Both teams tried to send a message. That's exactly why Vitale fought MacDonald at the end of the game.

[metalofseverance]

@Dude1015670 umm....they played the Islanders, not the Rangers...how convenient was it becoming a Penguins fan right as they were going to win the Stanley Cup?

[Dude1015670]

@metalofseverance

Yeah, my bad. They played the Rangers today. And actually, I'm only a fan because I am related to one of the players on the team. Guess which one? Haha.

[italyboyfloyd]

@nymets6986e MacDonald had gotten into 2 fights, Vitale had 8 before they fought. No matter how you slice it Vitale showed him what's up. Neither are fighters, thats all that matters.

[nymets6986e]

@italyboyfloyd Who has MacDonald fought?

Never seen him fight at least not that I can remember...seen videos of Vitale fighting in the minors

Did you also notice that MacDonald only had 1 glove off?

[steelersxx24]

I have lost all respect for the Islanders...

[penshockey68]

Gillies: piece of shit. Hayley: piece of shit who got his ass beat by a goalie. Martin: piece of shit who now reminds of me of the waste Bertuzzi. The Islanders: a shitty, classless, embarrasment to the NHL who cant get out of the basement. Move em back to Quebec

[hskates121]

Wow im really mistaken i thought the islanders won all the fights but man am i wrong i mean 0 for 11 is bad but no going 1 for 11 is fine then the pens r really good and vitale is nothing and never will be and macdonald was the best defenseman on the ice last night

[italyboyfloyd]

@hskates121 You forgot about Orpik, Letang, Engelland, Michalek, Lovejoy, etc. Our defensemen are some of the best in the league.

[HabsFanTom]

@J060191 your the faggot

[moviegoer235]

@J060191 Like the ISLANDERS KICKED YOURS!!!

[GoPensGo26]

@moviegoer235

wooooooow. hey heres a fact sid hasnt played in like 10ish games yet he still has more points than ne islander player....wtf are the isles doing???? they also lost more of those fights last night than they won...wow u beat up tangradi wen he was hurt. big man....isles suck sooooo much cock....cut the pens wins and half and maybe the isles and pens could be around the same level.

[moviegoer235]

Pittsburg....all those assholes have is sports....New York is where its at..Islanders might suck now...but we have so much more to offer than Pensilvania its a Joke...JETS ISLANDERS ALL THE WAY!!!...NEW YORK ALL THE WAY!!!!

[GoPensGo26]

@moviegoer235

brosky.... america is built around sports so shiiiiiiiiiiit thats a compliment. hahahah jets all the way? hahaha stupid muther fucker...how did the steel curtain taste wenn ur fat ass coach sucked wards testis. nice baseball team too. also isles omg sid has more points than ne islander and hes been out for how many games now....cut the pens wins in half and then u might be around the same standings

[hijodechago]

lol looked like the linesman fingered macdonald's butt

[slaughterer01]

Very Spirited fight there, win has to go to Vitale for landing the only shots.

[Da412Burgh]

Where are the Islanders in the standing oh thats right clear at the bottom cuz the are an embarrassment to hockey. They pretty much beat a AHL team last night.. and some of those minor leaguers beat the pros ass ..LETS GO PENS!!!

[Flyers20Fan]

@Da412Burgh as bad as the pens lineup is, they hav not been that easy to beat, so still an impressive win for them

[Sk8punkm]

@Da412Burgh if the islanders are an embarrassment what are the pens who just got beat 9-3? not the first time we've beaten em either. and it looked to me like our minor leaguer haley was beating your asses.

[GoPensGo26]

@Sk8punkm

wilkes barre and pitt have better records than ne new york hockey team.....suck them balls muther fucker.

[SuperHenderson13]

@Sk8punkm they are team with tons of injuries. the islanders proved nothing last night other than how dirty and how big of bitches they really are. in 2 weeks, when the islanders are selling, we will be buying. have fun watching the playoffs because they'll be in them. ... your franchise is a joke. sorry

[hyrussk71]

vitale 1 - 0 macdonald

[PHDLUV8]

@J060191 Ya...that's what he did....oh wait...he's a pussy stick hack.... ya...that's more accurate.

[oReFLeXiioNz]

@J060191 That "faggot's" team is kicking Vitale's team's ass 8-3.

[boyrandom72]

Vitale tuned him up. Islanders are officially a joke.

[lvgordo]

Vitale looks like he has done that before.

[ratmfan20]

@J060191 and who won the game?

[Pmaurizio412]

I hate gillies more than sean avery, and thats says something

[oneofthemdeals]

Classless going after someone who doesnt fight...Pens got raped and deservedly so..

[italyboyfloyd]

@oneofthemdeals hahahaha VITALE DOESN'T FIGHT EITHER. Dumbass

[angustus5]

macdonalds a good cape breton boy

[shannonstamey]

There are times when I really like Max Talbot and there are times when I despise him.. I guess that's what his role is. Nice to see the Pens ego take a shot in the gut for once though.. Go Flyers.

[jammac31]

@J060191 tough guy talking behind your computor just defending andrew

[StillersFan33]

good shit Vitale...after this game Islander fans should be ashamed of their disgraceful team.

[GuitarGuru1125]

@StillersFan33 no shame in scoring 9 goals. im not an islanders fan. honestly i don't care for the islanders at all. but there is no shame in what the islanders did. its hockey. you don't like fighting? go watch golf

[StillersFan33]

@GuitarGuru1125 no, fighting is fine. assault is not. the islanders are trash, 9 goals or not, they're trash.

[GoPensGo26]

@GuitarGuru1125

sucker punching is hockey??? wut hockey r u watching? russian league?

[tanbobman5]

@GuitarGuru1125 fighting is great, throwing an elbow at a non fighter and attacking him while hes concust, attacking talbot from behind, strange how tough guy haley didnt want to fight engelland or godard but he fine with max, craig, and the goalie

[atdi345]

@StillersFan33 Haha nah we're pretty psyched about this one.

[wickedbuzzproduction]

nice job by Vitale

[pringals]

... I got a feeling these two teams did not meet for drinks after the game.

[stevedrums]

What the hell went on last night??????? I was looking for names like Loney, Caufield, Gillies, Vukota, Baumgartner, Nystrom.....

[subtleserpeant]

Funny Pens forget they were in the same boat as the Isles are now, they were bankrupt and almost run out of pittsburgh, they were saved by the "all team Lottery Draft" if that wasnt a fix, remember pens fans your team will be there again im sure, everything is a cycle. .......Oh and yeah way to go Vitale going after a NON fighter.......see how stupid that sounds morons, its hockey stop with the non fighter bs pens got their asses handed to them tonight by an AHL team.

[pauleeboi]

@subtleserpeant Did you even watch the game or are you just basing your opinion on this sole video alone? You probably have no idea that the Pens were all full of AHL players that game too.

[jammac31]

Andrew hardly got his gloves off, all those cross checks before the fight, they have to have a rematch. Vitale is going after a guy who isn't a fighter, Andrews leading the islanders in ice time.

[StudentENU]

Неплохо он ему настучал.

[expos1994]

Unprovoked, Trevor Gillies charges & elbows top prospect Eric Tangradi, then jumps him and starts swinging away, while Tangradi is obviously injured. Then, he taunts him while he is on his knees being tended to by the trainer. Now Tangradi has a concussion. GET THIS GUY OUT OF THE LEAGUE. Minimum 25 game suspension. Pussy. Let's see what happens when Deryk Engelland is on the ice; I bet you'll be on your best behavior, sissy. Guy won't even be in the league next year. Isles are pathetic.

[italyboyfloyd]

@expos1994 I'd fucking love to see Engell knock(out) Gillies right on his ass...no doubt if Godard could take Gillies Engelland would do serious damage.

[darkknightnine]

Serendipity baby!

...wait....

[MrJuha82]

Vitale with CLEAR WIN

[TheProdigy15]

AMD what a beauty

[SarieContrary]

Vitale is my boy. As if I wasn't proud enough to wear his number to games.

[NJ2NU]

Nicely done, Joey.

[TheEndgame]

macdonald speared him in the nuts at 0:48 holy fuck are the islanders pathetic. gillies is absolutely hand down the biggest fucking idiot in the entire league. i have never hated a player more then him, gillies is the biggest stain in the NHL. his mustache is gay, and that gay "tough" look he tries do to all the time makes him look like a fucking idiot.

[sambudwiser]

How do you get your ass kicked and lose to isles in one night?

[wegettinarabmoney]

Man why cant there be more of this goon hockey around!! Like Edmonton vs Calgary...Toronto vs Montreal...LA vs Ducks...Columbus vs Wild...Shit Islanders and all those shit hole cities would sell more tickets Bettman!!! Bring out the GOOOOOONNNNSSSS

[hunkatiel]

@wegettinarabmoney The Hansen brothers could coach.

[avaguiar]

Pounded the f@ck out of MacDonald...Way to go Vitale!

[hollandracer83]

ISLANDERS SUCK MOVE THE TEAM FROM THE TRASH FANS ON THE ISLAND

[goodboy6666]

Islanders fucking fags

[facingthehorizon]

I feel fighting on message boards is stupid but this deserves it...the isles beat the pens B Team as they had almost as many AHL players in the roster as NHL players and their backup goalie, also only had 1 first liner and 2 2nd liners and they did it by being Goons...in fact they called up players including Haley soley b/c they play dirty...Good job fellas...now on to Gambler.. I got your back but we did have rupp, godard and engel tonight, and cooke is a puss and wont fight...not helpin.

[facingthehorizon]

[SSt4rr]

@J060191 no need for anger. you lost. accept it. move on. 2 of them were former isles also

[TheGamblersCousin]

Yeah he hit his helmet a bunch of times. Penguins win won. Isles win 9-3 and embarrass the Pittsburgh homos on Long Island as the Isles MAKE A FUCKING STATEMENT!

[JohnsMusic25]

@TheGamblersCousin What statement would that be? Check the standings buddy.

[NameYouCantHate]

@TheGamblersCousin How are things going at the bottom of the standings? Yeah... sucks to have a terrible team like the Islanders doesn't it?

[GoPensGo26]

@TheGamblersCousin

islanders make a statement???? wut that they wont make the playoffs for the next 10 years....congrats the isles found a way to beat a AHL team...yea sorta sucks wen half of an NHL team is filled with ahl guys and ur top 3 scorers are injured....maybe the islanders cant have a 50% winning season by 2020. who knows.

[seakid123]

@GoPensGo26 the last part of your comment is pretty fucking ironic considering how the penguins used to be in the same spot.

[GoPensGo26]

@seakid123

difference is the pens didnt do shit like this wen they were on the bottom of the standings. isles go and pull up thugs bc they are pissed johnson broke dipietros face.....isles showed their true colors and will get no respect from ne NHL teams. the guys who charged tangradi and then hit him for 30 secs wen he was down should get a mad suspension bc i think tangradi was out once he got charged then fucking hit 50 times while the refs stood there. 2 months itll be funny

[MarcSavardisapussy]

@TheGamblersCousin yeah if by making a statement you mean losing fights to a bunch of people, going after goalies and not fighters, throwing cheapshots, and winning against a team as injured as the pens. shit half the lineup is WBS.

[TMLaunhardt]

@MarcSavardisapussy half the team is WBS cuse they are a bunch of diving wusses...

[CameToSeeRVD]

@MarcSavardisapussy

yo i agree 100% with you.. i live in WBS and have season tickets to the little pens and on thursday 2/10 i heard that Pitt pulled 4 WB players.. i instantly knew that WBS would be taking a huge hit from that (since they were all good players) and i think no other team in the league has more injured players than the Pens...

[Bigbig1083]

@CameToSeeRVD I think the Rangers might be leading the league with injured players. They have been sending guys up and down from the CT Whale, all year.

[shannonstamey]

@MarcSavardisapussy Are seriously trying to plead a case for the Pens? I hate Pittsburgh, but that whole team has depth, even with the all the guys they have out of the lineup. Everybody out there was fighting and not all of them were fighters. Big deal, someone challenged Johnson from across 2/3 of the ice. If Johnson didn't want to go, he could've easily turned him down. When you've got someone jumping off your bench to double-team another guy, that's shitty. This isn't early 70's hockey

[atdi345]

@MarcSavardisapussy Haha someone's a little cranky because his only 2 good players are hurt and the rest of the team is thugs who got their asses handed to them last night. Cheapshots?? You have Matt Cooke on your team, shut up. The Islanders have the most man games lost to injury of any team this year, for the record.

[mastrlegacy]

@atdi345 The Islanders have no one so i wouldn't talk. Jonathan Tavares is going to be a beast,but he needs a supporting cast. This was brewing,it was going to happen. The guy going after Johnson was a little ridiculous,but it was the heat of the moment so i can't blame him for that. The sport of hockey benefited from what happened last night. It shows you how much emotion goes into this game. Where you see in other sports guys laughing all the time. It shows how much these guys really care.

[SuperHenderson13]

@MarcSavardisapussy best post i have read... agree 100%

[cortez899]

@MarcSavardisapussy are u stupid? the islanders have more injuries thena anyone in the fucking ngl

[GoPensGo26]

@cortez899

isles could have every player in the lineup and still would suck ass. BJ did the isles a favor putting dipietro out of commision.

[panterror27]

@GoPensGo26 yea but they beat your team that night. so that shows how little your logic is.

[GoPensGo26]

@panterror27

they beat the pens 1 game out of a 82 game season. the pens made it to the playoffs while the isles made it to the golf course....dont worry pens 2-0 against the isles this season already. always nice to have some guaranteed wins during the season right?

[panterror27]

@GoPensGo26 Yesterday's game you guys got lucky. Okposo was pushed into the net and you guys got a power play and scored. If there were fair referees we would have won that game 2-1.

[GoPensGo26]

@panterror27

ur going to tell me that ur goalie being way out of the crease and cookie barely touching them cancels staals goal. the way i see it, take away staals goal at least give us a PP. and we scored. our PP is garbage for the most part neways. isles fault for not killing it off.

[panterror27]

@GoPensGo26 He wasn't way out of the crease. He was just in the crease from what I saw and Cooke's screen got a little too close with Nabokov and interfered with him. Our PP is bad also

[GoPensGo26]

@panterror27

Regardless. If ur going to point out Okposo's penalty u should prob say something about Fleury clearly tripping the islander wen he stole the puck and had a wide open wrap around but fleury threw his leg out to trip him which worked. there are always bad penatly calls in a game and calls that should be made which are not.

[panterror27]

@GoPensGo26 What about the fact that Orpik didn't get a penalty in the first period? He was just as responsible as the players who went in the box and your criticizing Comeau? lol. As much as I hate Comeau he did good by stealing the puck from Fleury but failed miserably on that open net.

[GoPensGo26]

@panterror27

na wut im saying is that the pens also got away with the trip from fleury.

[Fleury292929]

@TheGamblersCousin what that every once in a while you come out of the basement of the worst team in the league and can possibly get more than 45 points in a season?

[Sinsemilla4u]

Ass whooping! WTG Vitale!
