And the Rangers just stood there and no one came to Rolph's aid.

The Rangers suck.

good stuff,its only reason i'd go and watch,should have more fighting in football :-)

It's so different now. Players don't want to get hit and with spin and bullshit until they see an opening while these guys just fucking threw the punches until they took your head off. Very different times

@mrceebees14 I remember the Isles and Gillies...but don't remember his fighting prowess. But I'll take your word for it. Cools stuff tho. I love watching the vintage hockey. I just wish NHL Network would play some of the games rather than 4 months of playoff repeats. Enough already.

@krametorg Clarke Gillies was better then both of them, he is regarded as arguably the best fighter of all time. Ironic you mention Shultz though, because that was Gillies most famous fight, Gillies beat the tar out of Shultz at the Spectrum in front of a packed house. To add insult to injury, Gillies was a rookie that year.

@mrceebees14 I'm starting to get gray around the ears so I do remember. I loved Park because he was tough. Ah...old time hockey. The good old days. Magneson: Is there a better fighter than that guy? I grew up in Chicago...I love him too. But Schultz takes the cake for toughness.

[mrceebees14]

@krametorg You might not remember this (hardly any one does it was such a long time ago) but Park was already pretty banged up from fighting Shultz at the Garden earlier in this series. Giacomin even went after Barber and Barber did nothing to him, it was just a very intense game and the Rangers were literally being intimidated right out of the playoffs.

The Flyers were scary, I know they scared me when I saw them at the Coliseum, and that was when the Isles were tough mother fuckers.

@MrRob7004 Kid? ha I wish, I have been watching the sport for 35 years. Read what I just wrote, why do you think they created the third man in rule over 30 years ago? To stop donny brooks from breaking out, because in the end, 20 physically strong young men are NOT going to be stopped by a few refs if they don't want to stop.

You get it now? Errr ahhh junior?

[mrceebees14]

@MrRob7004 Not when you are getting the shit beat out of your that bad, you must be new to the sport or not know the history. The reason they made the "third man in" rule ions ago was because third parties would jump in to help a guy out whether he was winning or losing, so you are wrong pal.

Rolph was not a fighter, he was a steady stand at home D-man who played some really good hockey with the Kings before going to the Rangers. But Rolph poked him and Shultz too exception.
