Rough House Hockey

I like the 80´s...that was the time I started to follow the NHL and I was lucky that my dad got us a satellite dish and I was able to start following the NHL and watch a few games every week. This was around 84 or 85. During this time the real heavyweight goons entered their golden age with the likes of Dave Brown, Bob Probert, Joey Kocur, Marty McSorley, Jim Kyte, John Kordic etc etc.

Here are a few fond memories of some personal fav fights of mine. If anyone would take time to chime in to post links to their own 80´s favorite fights, that would be great!

Man, you don´t see ´em going like this anymore...

Here are some highlights from a 1980 brawl I just came across for the first time, Oilers vs. Penguins. For an 81 second clip, this thing's got everything. Semenko with his hands full against a smaller Penguin, an Oiler third-man-in at 16 seconds, a squareoff at 19 seconds with one guy standing in the penalty box, Sather going nuts at 30 seconds, at 44 seconds there's ugly Bobby Schmautz waving at somebody, and then a couple of women in the stands hugging and crying, etc.

That was a great clip, great video quality aswell. Who did Semenko fight at the start?
