Flyers / Devils 1987 Brawl: Ron Hextall vs Alain Chevrier

This is a great bench clearing brawl that took place on January 24th 1987 between the Philadelphia Flyers and the New Jersey Devils. The best part is Ron Hextall kicking the crap out of Alain Chevrier. If you watch someone hits them with a cold beverage which seems to cause Hexy to go midevil on Mr. Chevrier. Ahh those were the days!

@leafyrivers Overrated hu? He is only 25th all time in wins a mere 5 behind a pretty good goalie named Mike Richter in 58 LESS games played. He is #1 on the Flyers all time wins list. Bernie Parent is #2. Hextall did that in less games than it took Bernie. He was an All Star, Vezina Trophy Winner, Conn Smythe Trophy winner on the LOOSING team. 1st goalie to score a goal and did it twice before anyone else did it once. Best stick handing goalie ever. No, he was not Brodeur but that ain't shabby!

@Marsdevilsvolta Only when I am right bro… such as is the case here! Why would I admit otherwise?

[Marsdevilsvolta]

@DaveTV2 just admit it, you love yourself and you always think you are right.

[DaveTV2]

@Marsdevilsvolta Again, same season & same players in response to an incorrect and arrogant statement about one game where the pathetic cellar dweller beat the team on top vs your response bringing up something that did not happen till SIXTEEN YEARS LATER when most of those players were long retired. Your response has no relevance.

Funny how you accuse me of thinking I am "hot shit" and then follow with this beautifully written sentence "i real mind knows when to concede and move on" Hu? LOL

[Marsdevilsvolta]

@DaveTV2 you are nuts dude. the fact that you cant see how you bringing up a whole season series to someone making a point about one game is the same as me in turn bringing up what happened after that season makes me not respect you at all. you, my friend, are the only thing here that is laughable at this point. you need to get over yourself, i can just tell from your style of writing that you think you are hot shit. guess what man, i real mind knows when to concede and move on.

[DaveTV2]

@Marsdevilsvolta As for your defense of @HeartagramHJE, I only corrected his incorrect assessment of that one game and reminded him, while he was getting all slaphappy about ONE game what happened the rest of that particular season. That point is completely relevant. Yours? Talking about something that did not happen for eight to SIXTEEN years? Was not. That is simply laughable.

[DaveTV2]

@Marsdevilsvolta The result of what the Devils did was lower TV ratings which caused networks like ESPN to bail. Goals in the league went down by a goal a game. As a result, attendance went down and so did revenue. It took a strike (in part) to rectify the damage the Devils had done by giving the league a blueprint of how to all but remove scoring from the game. It is clear who did more damage and who's cups came at a greater cost to the game and league. BTW, How are the devils doin' now?

[DaveTV2]

@Marsdevilsvolta Lets see, what the Flyers did, good or bad, gave the league national media attention and front page stories on magazines such as Time. Whether people loved them or hated them they sold out otherwise half empty arenas and watched on TV. They created passion and excitement. Remember the old saying "There's no such thing as bad publicity". Now the Devils? What they did take an exciting game and made it boring. There was a MUCH greater negative effect on the league. Cont…

@DaveTV2 lol which team plated a style that "destroyed" the game is up for debate. some would say the way the flyers played, which led them to their two cups, was one that destroyed the game. :) al the guy said was you got murdered then you go off on a rant, i dont see why you think that i need to stay on the point but you dont have to! he was talking about one game, you started talking about the season, i started talking about since then :0 its simple really. enjoy!

[DaveTV2]

@Marsdevilsvolta LOL. What a pathetic and desperate response. What may have happened between eight and SIXTEEN years AFTER the fact is completely irrelevant to the conversation which was what was going on in 1987. If you want to compare their histories I will take the Flyers' 2 cups, 8 Conf. championships and 16 division championships over the Devils' 3 Cups, 4 Conf. Championships & 9 division championships most of which came at the cost of destroying the game any day of the week. Enjoy!
