Amen. Or who was involved if anyone. Or Picard fleeing Lafleurs car. All unproven.
Not quite like the Dougie thing.

DrMoses said:Last time I checked, the function of a goon in the NHL was to fight instead of having the stars fight and risk injury. What do you think the goons on Wayne's teams did?
You have no clue about this sport anyway as you've proven time and time again so I won't expect an intelligent answer from you...
chooch said:You also know pudding about hockey.
Bobby Orr was a fierce fighter (as was Howe); I recall in the 72 finals Orr and Park going at it in a vicious fight at MSG. And then later in the game Orr bursting through the Ranger defence to score a brilliant goal.
Since you and JCD know your goons, who was Orr's protector? Howe's? Messiers?
Lafleurs? Hulls?
got your bus fare?
JCD said:Still attempting to be funny? You seem a bit slow on the uptake so we can make this real clear: it isn't working.
I noticed you removed Clarke from your list, could it be because you were full of crap (again)?
As for Messier, wasn't he on that same goon-laden squad as Gretzky? Wouldn't he be protected by them as well? Messier would rarely drop the gloves for himself, especially after he left the Oilers. He would typically let Wells/Domi/Kypreos clean up his mess.
Besides, how does having a goon on your team make you less of a player? Gretzky was 5'10 and 160 pounds. To think he should be out there fighting is just plain stupid. Especially when he was so effective as a scorer. It makes no sense, but that is what we come to expect from you: sheer and utter lunacy.

Its about toughness - afterall this is hockey not womens hockey. Its about not needing protection because you can handle yourself.
Yes, I dropped Clarke and I also dropped Trottier and Gainey. And I added some names - so what? As usual let me dumb things down for you two.
Clarke was one tough sob - as were Messier and trottier and Gainey.
He did try and goad players into fights and he was successful a lot. But why dont you look up his penalty totals - well over a hundred in the same years he's scoring 100 points. One Tough centreman. No bodyguards required even tho he's not that big of a guy. Over a thousand penalty munites in his career.
You think Messier needed protection? You're right - YOU are the comedian.
With his elbows and glare and willingness to bang (and I dont mean Madonna, DrMoses), no one messed with Messier. Well over a hundred minutes a year, over a thousand penalty minutes.
The point someone made that star players shoudlnt fight is corect but thats not the issue here - only one guy needed so much protection that the bodyguard had to skate on the same line all the time.
Take Lafleur - same size as 99 but he took fierce pounding from Milbury and boston defence; if you ever meet him check out his eyebrows. And the wicked cut on the lip Milbury gave him in Game 4 of the 77 finals.
In game 2 of the 77 finals, he got into an altercation with Milbury and afterwards Cherry and the Bruins threatened to "get" Guy when the series moved back to Boston next game. Well, here's how Guy responded - he scored or assisted on all Montreal goals in the two games in Boston. Sweep.
A hell of a lot different than whooping it up by scoring late in the game against a weak western team with your bodyguard hanging around.
I could go on with trottier and Gainey stories (anyone remember the check on Don Maloney in Game 4 of the 79 finals at MSG where gainey knocked him off the puck and scored on JD?)
But all I ask you again is: who were the bodyguards for Orr, Howe, Hull, Lafleur, Gainey, Clarke, Trottier, Gainey (is that the complete list?)
btw; JCD what the hell is "badmitten"?
JCD said:Clarke didn't have a bodyguard? Talking with a Flyers fan kid. Dave Schultz. Look up his career. Guess what his job was? Best of his generation and might be the best of all-time.

KOVALEV10 said:Completely agree and just wanted to add that Gretz never won a finals by himself like Guy in 77. Despite one of the toughest checking by the Bruins on Guy, Lafleur was in on all of the habs goals in the 3 final games of the finals where of course we swept the bruins and won the cup.
Give it to em chooch!

DrMoses said:Yes. Wayne NEVER dominated a finals...
And the greatest hockey team ever assembled had nothing to do with Guy's cups.. He was alone...
You and Chooch are honestly becoming jokes with this crap...
