Remember this?

Back in 98, the weasel got x-checked by Suter and Ducks did nothing. Then later in the season Stars' Ludvig throws a monster elbow on Selanne and **** hits the fan, big time.

One of the best moments in Ducks history, Cup victory excluded, the whole team went apenuts. I love this documentary. Severyn must have felt pretty bad after killing Sydor and then becoming his teammate.

i find myself watching these clips every couple of months, love em. wish something like that would happen to the stars every week.

enjoyed this and the calgary brawl.

Oh, yea I remember this for sure, I still think that is why we play Dallas differently.

I remember being pissed that they took Leboutillier (sp) of the ice because I want him to take someone out.

Remember 99-season when Ducks loaded up enforcers, they had Grimson and McKenzie, Leboutillier, Stevenson, Pushor, Marshall etc and craploads of AHL/ECHL fighters. Fun years. Well, except they had zero talente after the weasel and Selanne.

Watching that documentary about the famous brawl makes my cry (well almost), the best thing that Burke brought here was the goon days but also success. Greatness.

I remember and I forgot about McKenzie, I remember him running into one of our own players, I think Pronger (Sean) and actually hurting him along the boards.

Back to the video, I get shivers seeing Page's face with that stupid wtf expression.

Edit: Wasn't pronger as he was traded the year before, oh well don't remember

I love how Ludwig defends himself in the interview "he was one of their key players"... in a 5-1 game with 4 minutes left against a bad team. What a giant piece of crap.

On the bright side, it's hilarious to me that twice in his career Sydor has been KO'd by a Ducks player.

edit: Gotta love that color commentator, what a vagina.

One of my favorite Duck enforcer moments is when Kevin Sawyer dumps the puck in, chases it deep, Kings goalie (it was either Potvin or Checkmanek, can't remember) goes to play it, and Sawyer just goes full speed and checks the goalie into the wall, triggering a mini-brawl.

Hilarious.

Kevin Sawyer was the man. As was Denny Lambert, the fat bald guy.

This is one of the things one actually likes to remember from the "old days" as is the CGY brawl.

Brawls aren't what they used to be.

enjoyed this and the calgary brawl.

Unfortunately, the said Calgary game wasn't televised but box sheet was filled and a total of 3 roster players were available on both benches at the end of the game.

To me, that game is a perfect example of why I don't give a damn when people call the current Ducks dirty. We got pushed around and cheapshotted for many years, and no one gave us a lick of sympathy. Even non-tough teams all of a sudden became chippy and brave when they faced our team of pansies. So I'm not going to shed a solitary tear when we start returning the favor. If anything, we've got about a decade of pushing the envelope to go before we're even with the rest of the league.

At the end of the day, better to be the cheapshot-er than the cheapshot-ee. They can cry all they want about how the Ducks cheat their way to victory, but after years of watching our team lose to similar tactics, I don't give a rat's ass. No one cut us a break when Maltby chopped down Teemu and hobbled him for the rest of the series back in '97, so any cries of "cheap shot" when Brown delivers a perfectly fair open ice hit on Hudler, or when Pronger delivers yet another physics lesson, are going to fall on deaf ears in this corner.

:shakeheadPierre Page:shakehead

Easily the most clueless looks on his face of any coach I have ever seen.

I miss things like this, seems to really brings teams together. That being said, I understand why they don't happen with our team. No one would want to go up against the Ducks in a brawl I imagine

Freisen, what a puss, way to stand up for your team.:shakehead

OT: Where can a get a roster of players from past seasons? I forgot about half of those guys.


Edit: Niedermeyer with a shield and Iginla without wtf?

shot in the dark

you never played hockey at any competive level. Ludwig's hit was off side. However, when I was playing junior B hockey in Alberta--we were up 6-0 in a game and with about 8 minutes to go I didn't finsih a check on a player I was covering--my ears still hurt from the coach yelling at me after the game.

First two rules in hockey

1( keep your head up

2)Always finish your checks

The hell are you babbling about? Did you watch the clip?

Elbowing a guy (quite blatantly) in the head is gay no matter what the score is, but it's especially stupid against a non-playoff team when you're up that big. I also don't know what this 'off side' is supposed to mean.

"keep your head up"... WATCH THE CLIP. How is Selanne supposed to have his head up any more? Ludwig jumped into his head.

I'm sorry your coach yelled at you. That must've been rough.

Neither did you if you think thats what finishing your check means dumb****.

read the statemenet--I said that ludwid's hit was offside--it was a clear elbow to the head. But a few people were suggesting that that late in the game it would be allowable for players not to finish thier checks--again--Ludwig's hit was an elbow to the head and was stupid. I am just saying the in the 15 yers I played hockey from the age of 5 to 20 and the last six at a physical level--my coaches ripped into me for not finishing the checks regardless of what the score was. Again ludwig's hit was stupid and a head shot--he could have finished his check without the elbow.

please re read my comments and post where I said ludwig' hit was fair? I never said it. I was simpy responding to those who thought it was wrong not to finish your checks.

How often late in games have you seen a d-man not finish his check and then a goal get scored and then the d-man gets ripped by his coach.Selenne was lined up cleanly for a shoulder rub out--there was no need for the elbow

No one's complaining about anyone "finishing their check". You have no argument, other than one that you're inventing, apparently to point out what a bad-ass you are for playing freaking Junior B in Alberta.

Junior B! Wow, gosh, you truly are the authoritative voice on all things hockey.

God I hate the offseason.

Duh. That's what I was saying. Being in the mindframe to throw an elbow like that makes NO sense in that game. I can see in a chippy game, or one that has BIG implications where your emotions might get the best of you, but it was really unacceptable in this instance. I never said (by the way) players shouldn't finish checks late in games.

I think V-Man is very confused...
He is arguing against us, arguing against the hit?
Yes, finish your check, but its hockey, man up and pay the price if its borderline.

Neither

The earlier statement saying that suggested that late in the game you are not supposed finish you checks. The check was bad and what happened is what was meant to happen. I was involved in fights just like that--when their was a head shot done to one of out 3rd line players let alone the best guy on the team. I am not defending the head shot--that would be silly. But, regardless of the score you finsih your checks. I have other problems with how he remembers the check and how he suggested that teemu was faking it and the implication that teemu played dead to ensure the malee happened.

Show me where. No one suggested anything like that you just made it up to try and preserve your hockey god status around here that everyone gaffed at.

Meh. Your hockey knowledge and fandom are in question because you weren't born/played hockey in/are a fan of a team on the right side of the border.

Now, now Snark, we are, as Ducks fans, un-knowledgeable in the ways of hockey.

Did I ever tell you guys I wrote a blog about the time I played hockey in Canada with Canadians?

Stop saying I didn't.
