Billy Smith, the back up goalie off the bench. Love it.

Have a guy like Gilles do that once to Matt Cooke, and Cooke never hurts another player again.

@91dodgespiritrt : Two words: Dave Schultz. Gillies destroyed him, the first in a long line of fights that usually ended with pussies like Hoyda getting their asses kicked. "Knew they were in a fight?" Too slow, too weak, you lose. See Ed Hospodar's carcass, too, you schmuck. Go back to Philly and get your shinebox.

gutless act going after Bossy. Mel can only pick on someone who cant fight in gerry. very sad.

@91dodgespiritrt doesnt matter,,hoyda was a scumbag anyway.

[oneofthemdeals]

talk about a mismatch, behn "gutless" wilson goes after Mike Bossy? cmon a Lady Bing winner, that's so wrong

[91dodgespiritrt]

Listen to the announcer "Gillies went after Hoyda from BEHIND"... Gillies is a sucker punching goon who could ONLY win fights by attaching guys before the guy knew he was in a fight.
