@RRaquello did you know that bettman thought it was the old school "ace" bailey who died on 9/11, and not the more current one who played for the bruins, blues etc in the 60's and 70's!!

Jerry Butler fed Gassoff a few good lefts. That was nice to see.

Gassoff was the meanest SOB there was.He could have gone down in history as the best fighter in the NHL.I loved the guy.

Funny thing about this fight, the Blues & Rangers were frequent trading partners in those days, and at least half the players fighting were teammates on both the Rangers & the Blues—all 3 Plagers, Sanderson, Fairbairn, Bert Wilson, Davidson, Jerry Butler, Pierre Plante, Greg Polis, Ted Irvine.
Gasoff vs. Bill Fairbairn has to be one of the all-time mismatches. Ace Bailey here is the guy who was on one of the planes that hit the WTC on 9/11/01. I remember seeing this on WOR Channel 9 in NY.

Plager gave the Turk 5 or 6 solid shots the first being a cheap shot and still couldnt drop him, Derek was TOUGH!!!

If this was the same fight I remember, Gassoff took on and took out about three Rangers that night. I remember Dan Kelly calling it, and Gassoff was clubbing people left and right. Thing is, Gassoff was on his way to becoming a very good overall player before the accident.
gasoff beat up like 5 rangers

This brawl took place during the 1974-75 season (back during the NHL's bloodbath days). Unfortunately it goes down as probably the WORST camera work in the history of hockey brawls fights as the cameras literally missed all the main fights of the brawl. And RIP Bob Gassoff. One of the greatest.
