You can hear bull shit just flowing out of Domi’s mouth…when him and knuckles aren’t talking over each other. Any kid who can kick a 50 yard field goal in high school football is a phenom and would never consider playing a different sport professionally. With the salary and health security it’s no question
Being from Toronto…. Tie ( as with Clark, Gilmour, Sundin, Sittler) is a ‘pillar’ for us leaf fans!! Pound for pound one of the toughest pitbull’s in NHL history of enforcers.. we miss Tie
So great to see Tie in this interview. A great Leaf and I'm sure he was loved by his team mates. I'm excited to see his son Max playing in Toronto. I love how he imitates knuckles
As an 11 year old in Queens 1990-91, i became a huge Domi fan. Every picture in the NY Post, Daily News, Newsday of Domi went on my wall. Hockey was MUCH watch TV back then. Teams hated each other and the rivalries were so intense. I miss that era so much. Great Interview Boys!!!!
When a hockey podcast episode begins with a story about Tie Domi pushing Chris chelios into a fountain before wrestling Cheli and Nilan in the hotel after drinking at Jay miller’s bar following Cam Neely’s charity golf outing, you know it’s going to be a doozy.
These interviews are so good, Chris i'm real proud of you nice job, Definitely innovated the inner soul of hockey players and their thoughts from the from playing Yes kids juniors all the way up to the pros., We'll continue watching these Keep up the good work, brother.
If only Domis dad allowed Domi to play in Europe we would have had another Messi. What a loser. Wouldnt be surprised if he pipes Marky Marky where the sun dont shine.
All the fights Domi lost (which were many), he never lost bad, and never really got hurt badly. And at 5'10 and 200lb, that's amazing. The fights with Rob Ray were amazing. And Ray was bigger than people thought at 6 or 6'1 and 220. Domi is all heart and had decent skill. Great player going against players much taller and heavier constantly.
Yah yah we get it Tie. Enough with the ball busting on the accent. After this, I like him, but is real easy to see how he gets under your skin. He has a knack for it.
As a Bostonian who has lived out west for 45 years I can't tell you enough how aggravating that is. For some reason people have no idea that mocking the accent is totally obnoxious. I have no idea why they think the accent is so funny
I believe Tie when he says he just wanted to win! Growing up a Sens fan in the hay day of the battle of Ontario, Tie had countless timely goals. He provided what his team needed at all times. I loved to hate him! Can't thank him enough for his contributions to the game. He's not a member of the club I support. But I will happily admit he's one of the classiest gents to play the game!
It's nice to see real hockey fans. You can love and cheer for one team while respecting other teams, players, and fans. Guys like us are few and far these days
Another great show guys. Domi has got a great sense of humor and it was nice to see two of the toughest ever in the game get along so well. Im getting addicted to this podcast but I wont be goin to rehab for this one😊
Chris... I loved when you came to the Rangers I've been at blue shirt fan since I was 8 years old my dad had season tickets for 52 years in the blue seats. I played travel hockey as a kid in high school college, men's leagues Etc I got to tell you your podcasts are the best. This one with Tie Domi is just wonderful ! Keep doing what you doing knuckles !
lot of comments on what a proud poppa he is regarding Max. How many times did he mention he daughters? non existent. But does name drop every celebrity and high end NHL'r he is buddies with.
Oh probert hurt him he’s to prideful! Read what it’s like to fight Bob probert Bernie nichols said that ties head was so swollen in rd 2 that he could barely put his helmet on!
No man I have a book on what it’s like to fight job probert like o said Bernie nichols played with domi on the rangers that night he fought probert and it’s quoted by many others to that domis head was so swollen that he had a hard time putting his helmet on. This isn’t even ptobert talking! But even probert knew cuz the trainers told probert he had ice ps is in during the intermission. I mean cons on man why I post non sense! It’s like saying probert never got hurt! I’m 100 percent sure domi has cte! Easily!!! Seeing as he had the most penalty minutes out of any fighter. He got whooped many times too! I mean I grew up with probert but I’m not a biased person. Probert had his fair share of losses. But what made him the greatest was that he had the best fight card out of anyone! If he lost he was going avenge that loss. I mean u do know he fought domi 9 times abd6 of those fights he won. Some rather decisively! Brown also put a bad beating on domi and ray! So anyways. Idk where ur getting the info that domi was never hurt! He’s just to stubborn to admit it! Hurts his ego! I mean he even lies about the probert fight. Saying Bob dropped his gloves first and started wailing on him. When in fact it was domi who dropped the gloves first! Then he talks about how he didn’t get hit at the end ti get knocked down by Bob! So domi is the biggest full of shit statement s I ever heard. But if u why a pic of the article I’ll send it to u buy it’s very true! Domis teammate isn’t going to lie! I mean what does he gain out of it?!
Late to the party but this is a great episode! I enjoy Tie talking about Max. Type I diabetes is tough (36 years with it here), and the demands of pro hockey (travel, lack of routine, extereme exercise and emotions) would make it tougher. Well done Chris and Tim, great podcast.
Thanks Chris & Tim. Domi was such a cool player to watch when I grew up in the 90s. He was an enigma to me, a mysterious and fascinatingly violent player who would do anything out there on the ice. He fought Gino Odjick in a Memorial Cup game 😄and that's the way he continued to play for a decade and a half. Incredible longevity to do what he did. I loved it. And towards the end of his career I got the chance to see him play in Sweden during the '04-'05 lockout. I'll never forget it. Watching Tie during the pre-game warmup was like watching one of the Gods of the enforcers out there. He looked so menacing and intimidating. He had 3 points that game if I recall correctly, and was voted first star of the game.
When I play NHL video games, I always compile a team of enforcers. Nilan and Domi are ALWAYS on it, along with Probert and McSorley (Probert is a first line scoring threat). Usually I get Joey Kocur, Rob Ray, Dave Schultz, Bryan Marchment, Larry Playfair, and Garth Butcher as well. In season mode, the goal is to win the Stanley Cup while seeing if I can compile 5,000 team penalty minutes in a season. Puttin' on the foil!
Mr. Nilan!!! ... I just discovered your channel, 65 years old die hard Habs fan here ... you're quite a character that I always loved and it's so much fun watching you on RU-vid. You're a natural at this podcast thing, interviewing people is not easy and you do it very well ... compliments! I just spent hours watching a bunch of your podcasts ... I wish you all the best!
Tie is a beauty. I hope Tie corrects me if I have this story wrong....I remember when he got drafted by the leafs....he and John Kordic fought in training camp....in Newmarket I think it was. The story goes that John won the fight but broke his hand on Tie's head so John went on the DL and Tie got his shot with the big club. Also, I think at one point I think he was the fastest skater on the leafs. Great forechecker and underrated player You are right Tie...that Neidermayer game was the best game of your career. I watched it on TV and Harry Neal said the same thing. Hey Tie why do you sit with the crowd at the leaf games when I am sure you could sit in a box?
Probert was so mad that the tie wore hockey skates, Probert was training the whole summer on white skates... could you imagine being Bob Probert every time you fight if someone beats you up its Front Page News Bob was so upset when Ty did the belt but the next game my grapes could not even get a seat and had to pay for it Bob destroyed TD he did he did not celebrate he just went to the Penalty Box Bob Probert was the greatest fighter ever maybe he lost fight maybe he did not have that knockout power like Dave Brown what number 24 was the greatest fighter of all time and the only thing I don't like a bow tie is he said he's never been hurt in a fight once that's what he said on previous interviews give me that's nonsense look what Bob digitorum in the rematch he was hurt case dismissed
Many players have said you couldn't hurt Domi, because his head was as hard as a bowling ball, but he's only human and I remember him getting rattled a couple of times by Chris Simon and Georges Laraque.
I just saw Tie Domi's doc 2 days ago. This is the 2nd interview i watched. Born in a Maple Leaf family we didnt care what team Tie played for we were cheering for him. I wanna say you can see the gratitude in Tie Domi. Thanks for the memories
I have respect for Tie and his tenacity and toughness. No doubt. But I lasted 15 minutes and I will now comment and turn this off. This was hard to listen to. I’ve known multiple Tie Domi’s in my life. Legends in their own mind. Great at everything they ever did even though they weren’t. Does that little giggle after each line of bull he’s throwing. The greatest case of small man syndrome I’ve ever seen. I love you Knuckles and Tim and I understand why you had Tie on. But please no more. :).
Domi was best athlete in school in every sport. He could play in todays nhl cuz he's fast, he was the toughest in school. I don't find him particularly likeable. But that's me.
“I was the best athlete at my school, and I protected everyone.I punched a guy 40 times in the head when I was in school.I don’t like to talk about fighting.I like to say Newyawk50 times,Im funny.Hold on I will show you Im friends with a famous actor. I knew I could beat Probert when he told me he couldn’t hurt me, but I got him.” Probert never said that, Dave Brown did,Domi said it himself in the documentary What It Takes. Probert said in his book that Domi was lying on the trainers table with ice bags all over his head in between periods after he TKO’d him in New York.He made it pretty clear in his book he didn’t care for Domi at anytime. I can see why.
@@jscottrockford Hockey tough guys are only hockey tough guys, I grew up in Canada in a rural community and I was also the best Athlete in my entire School,and I threw down with hockey tough guys on weekends for fun.Knuckles story is great but its an average weekend in the 70s-80s. Thank you AllKnowing the edit was needed -- to much Root Beer on an empty stomach.
@@Allknowing I get a little ahead of myself when I hear people like Knuckles and Domi and other lunkheads talking , its exciting to hear if you lived that life to. I am old and will always miss fighting and violent tests of skill and will and the real rough stuff.
- Tie Domi not wanting to talk about fighting is like having Albert Einstein on your podcast and he doesn't want to talk about physics. - The elbow on Neidermayer cost Toronto the series, and NO Tie didn't fight Jim McKenzie in the first game back the next season. He turtled and McKenzie picked up a game misconduct after pummeling him. - I wish Chris would have asked Tie about his fight with Brian McGrattan and the aftermath of Tie whining to the media that Nathan Perrott should have been the one to fight Gratts.
There was a delay between our internet connections which made it tough. I know what you mean, but to be honest there was an issue with the audio. But thanks for your feedback much appreciated
Ya but he is to prideful. He got hurt bad in that second Probert fight I read rangers players talk about how swollen his head was he couldn't put his helmet on. But I like tie. But he needs to be real sometimes. Because he will never say he got beat.
@matturibe5256 He was never hurt, always walked away with a smile and only a few would go with him. He also never back down. He may have lost some but he was never beat
@@jeffreycairns767 he walked with a smile cuz he got his ass embarrassed lol! U do t want to piss off the geoat! That’s what he did. He talked shit and if probert even thinks he lost or even drew in a fight the second one ur done! Like Bernie said he had big bumps on his big ass head to the point where he could barely put in his helmet! Anyways ur comment was just dumb! Don’t take it personal but think before u comment! I would never say oh probert was never hurt of Dave brown was never hurt! Those are the top two in my book! 1.probert 2. Brown. 3. Wilson 4. Laraque 5. Breshear 6. Kocur 8. Mcarthy 9. Berube 10. Twist
@@matturibe5256 Although I completely disagree, we are entitled to our own opinions. Also, where's Rob Ray? Wilson? I seriously hope you're not talking about Tom Wilson. I'm guessing not but it was the first Wilson that popped in my head
@@jeffreycairns767 No Bein Wilson, come on dawg. Well, every number past number one can be debatable, but Probert has a card way above anyone else. So, I am open to opinions after one. But what is it you disagree on? Domi not being injured or my list?
I said it before and I’ll say it again. Love hearing the come up of these national leaguers. Knuckles and Tim do a great job of delivering it. Thank you gentlemen.
Have 2 stories. I went to the University of Guelph 90-94. My roommate played with Tie at Peterborough. Said he was the toughest guy he ever met. But also the nicest. Had tons of stories of Tie that showed how he stuck up for everyone Fast forward 30 years. My daughters boyfriends father played va Tie in that semi pro league and was at the game where Tie went after the player. He said the whole team was scared shitless that Tie would kill all of them. Said he was a great soccer player as well.
I thought it was Vic Mackey and Shane Van Drell from The Shield maybe for a fancy dress party . Actually Tim looks like a cross between Walton Goggins and James Murray from The Impractical Jokers. 😂
FK Please Tie come on Winnipeg Sports Talk, Hus and Remo could care less about the fights, they, us, all in Winnipeg would love to hear your stories of being a Winnipeg Jet in the Prime of your career.
Damn I used to hate Tie Domi when he was playing for the Leaf’s.. didn’t know he was a huge Habs fan…. He’s now one of my all time favourite fighters 😅
Is Mark Wahlberg lost his mind please tell me that he was joking when he said he wanted to fight Ty ty, he's either got a good mind for comedy or a very warped view of reality, actors are there funniest sometimes when they are off screen it was funny how neither tiy domi nor Chris nylon even gave it a response
Great show! Always appreciated Tie when he played; glad you finally got him on. Funniest line - “I wouldn’t wrestle him, I’d hit him over the head with a baseball bat.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't think the fighting rule in junior hockey is the best decision. Because in the pros there is nothing worse than getting a new guy with out the heart to take care of a bully.
Nobody gave tie credit for his skating and playing ability. I grew up a leaf fan Wendle and tie not very big guys but tough as nails different breed the size disadvantage never stopped him. He would have destroyed people now days excited to see max play in the blue and white
I love Knucks, always had such great respect for Tie. One of the most under-rated tough guys of all-time. However, the whole, "I was the "greatest this" and the "best that" and "no one ever hurt me" blah blah blah. Sure, he was tough. One of the toughest, but, c'mon dude. He got blasted and dropped by Probie a few times. He got creamed and dropped by Simon and others. Sure, it was rare but c'mon. Still love the guy. And thank you Tie for KOing Ulf!
Great podcast! Loved this episode! I wish you would have brought up the story of the penalty box incident in Philly and whatever happened with the fan.
Tie said a lot of good things about Bob Probert. He was a gladiator, I remember a game in Junior A where Bob tangled with Guelph player Bill Loshaw, nicknamed Bonecrusher later in his career. Loshaw was only 16 and Bob 20 and I don't think Bob really wanted to fight but Billy insisted. They had a brief bout where one of Billy's overhand rights caught Bob. They sat in the penalty box and things got heated. When they left the box they just went at it again. This time Bob was pretty angry and ready to fight, forgot the rookie status, punching Billy into submission. Sometimes he took no prisoners.
As a bruins fan i love when he took ulfie out. How come nobody knows mocking someones accent is annoying. I moved from boston to the west 45 yrs ago. People just go on and on just like tie is doing.
