Who was Iggy fighting in your clip? It won't load here

Yeah my bad, not working on my phone for some reason. It was his fight with Rinaldo from last year. I am/was an Iggy fan when he was with Calgary and I know he's a tough guy. That being said, I think Backes could hold his own against him.

Backes I don't know he has size but isn't a very good fighter, Iggy just got old still one of my favorite players. Too bad they had cap Issues in Boston he fit great there.

Backes doesn't really get beat up...but he's a sad fighter. His tussle are usually more embarrassing then anything.

Likes Randy Marsh drunk fighting

haha yes. awesome comparison

 

[KirkOut]

huh

 

[Veneficus]

I love Backes, he's definitely one of those dudes you love to root for, hate to play against. Sob line is freaking awesome right now.

Love him as a player, very tough player just not a good fighter

Definitely, is anyone on this team a fighter besides Reaver?

 

[The Note]

huh

It's almost like he's...good? No, no, that can't be right. He let in a soft goal three games ago.

 

[LGB51]

He still would have worked anyone on the Blues except for Reaves, we have a huge drop off after Reaves in regards to fighting

I think you're forgetting about Sobot.....Oh wait

Nope, he is all they have if the game goes in the alley

 

[LGB51]

Maybe Iginla WAS a good fighter. I think age has caught up to him.

Fixed vid for you.

 

[c-carp]

He def smoked Iginla there, could have been a case of sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you. Iggy got caught early there it happens

 

[Total Bender]

Fixed vid for you.

Thanks for that! What was I doing wrong?

When you embed a YT vid, all you need is the letter string at the end of the URL between the YT tags. Example:

Much appreciated.

This may be a better example of Iggy's abilities, more recent as well. Maybe Backes is better off not fighting him, definitely no need for it tonight.

 

[KirkOut]

I dunno, beating up Brayden Schenn ain't exactly like going after Probert

 

[c-carp]

That def looked more like the old lion that Iginla is!

Semyon Varlamov robs Vladimir Tarasenko in 3rd

 

[c-carp]

Terasenko and Schwartz are both on the verge of becoming not just stars but Superstars? Did Bill Armstrong run that draft or was that Jarmo's last one in charge?

Glad you got that little bit of Cole standing up McLeod. We're going to need him to keep up the physical game going forward.

When I read this I thought back to before the 2010 Olympics when he was fighting everyone from team Canada. I want to believe that after the fight when he was being escorted to the penalty box he started shouting. "I'm sorry I thought this was America. Isn't this America? Thought this was America!

 

[Ranksu]

I want that Backes 'Bye Bye' gif.
