GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) Ironic that we should be playing the Preds tonight, because it was 7 years ago today when we had that infamous 9 fight game against them. I didn't watch the game, but I remember seeing highlights of it on the ESPN post game show, and feeling awful that I missed that game. Also, I remember being in disbelief that we had a game like that. Even then the Wings weren't fighting that much, so I was shocked that we were a part of it. What stands out for me in the highlights are the 2 great toe to toe McCarty fights and the Fischer beating of Hartnell. I've tried posting a video of some of the action. Also, we played them in the playoffs that year, so I think it's fair to say this is where the hatred and divison rivalry started.

titanium2 867 Report post Posted October 31, 2010 That Fisher punch and Downey's KO on Boulerice might be my favorite two punches by Wings players. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, at around the 3:30 mark of the video. He looked pissed. I don't recognize the color commentary guy, BTW. I guess the video doesn't have the Fischer fight, which is kind of a bummer.

Where has my youth gone? wtf. Like you, I missed the game at the time, but luckily I other saw an extensive replay or maybe my brother taped it. Can't say I remember how the score turned out, but that video sure is fun to watch. We had such an awesome group in those years. Thanks for posting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess the video doesn't have the Fischer fight, which is kind of a bummer. I believe it is Murphy doing the commentary. And Yzerman was completely screwed by the refs that night. He was not happy about the way things were getting called at all and I don't blame him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was that part of some sort of policy to get thrown out after a couple unsportsmanlike calls or what? Or was that more like a baseball skipper getting thrown out for being too "in your face"?

Roy got booted for chucking his stick across the ice after getting scored on in a penalty shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roy got booted for chucking his stick across the ice after getting scored on in a penalty shot. Well, I mean, who wouldn't kick him out after all that? You can't reward that kind of behavior by letting him stay in the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
