The 67 Penalty Minute Period - The Randy Holt Story 

Randy is my cousin. He had a brother Gary who was drafted by the Saint Louis Blues. He, right up to the 90s, was still brawling in men's league in Calgary, busting people's Jaws and such. Because of his reputation, people just had to try . He's a hoot at family reunions I'm told. I still have the three leading penalty minutes in the NHL hockey card with him framed by Tiger Williams and Dave Schultz.

Gordie Howe was the most versatile team player of all time, two way player, prolific scorer, didn’t hesitate to drop the gloves and always wore thin elbow pads and sharp elbows, other teams hated him on the ice and loved him off the ice.

Randy was from my home town, I watched him play Juvenile. He was tough on the ice and gentle as a lamb off it. His brother Gary also played in the NHL. Nice guys!

those were the good old days of very entertaining hockey !! I miss em' !

Randy is one of my favorites of all time. I had season tickets with the Caps for his 2 years with them, and I was on the edge of my seat for every one of his shifts.

When the Kings played the 70's Flyers; *this should be interesting*

Holt was brought in specifically in anticipation of dealing with the Broadstreet bullies!

Hey there, Odd Man. Just a note to let you know I enjoy the subject of your videos. Even more so given your accent. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems you're from the U.K. If so, I would love to see some commentary from the pro league in the U.K. Any footage from former NHL players would be awesome to see. No big deal if there's no footage; your NHL commentary is very good. Keep on keeping on, Odd Man Rush

I was at the Spectrum this day and Randy Holt showed us no fear..

Randy Holt gave me one of his sticks at the last game of that 79/80 season. Having season seats behind the bench had some perks

I have this whole brawl on tape, it was the 1st tape i ever got as a kid in the late 80s. the video actually had some VERY weird background music on it but i absolutely loved that on tape.. The NHL is soooo vanilla and boring these days, there is some occasional fireworks but the league is night and day different from the great days of the 90s and early 2000s, i barely can watch the current game as its just so vanilla most nights,. Sports needs rivalries and good guys/bad guys, white hats vs black hats (makes it interesting) ... i hated the Flyers in the back in the day but i LOVED watching their games as the amount of intensity they brought to a game, so fun and entertaining

Love your videos!!!! Just wanted to post that!!!! Keep it up!!!!

Might rename my personal trophy I award players with the most Penalty Minutes to “The Randy Holt Trophy” Or Maybe keep it the Marty McSorley Trophy. Lol

The Randy Holt game was also had the most penalty minutes combined by two teams until the Bruins/North Stars game of 1981.

I also believe this game set the PIM record at the time which was later beat by the North Stars -Bruins in 81 and then later by the Flyers/Sens in the nineties. Fantastic recap here Odd Man!

he is Ryan Reaves, Tom Wilson, Evandro Kane, and Matt Martin combined lol

I like the rough elements of the game today but man am I happy it has evolved past this..

Goons had their place and other teams were less likely to cheap shot the stars when the goons were on the ice!

First hockey game I ever attended. I was 10 years old. Funny how he ended his career with the Flyers. He still hates Linseman to this day

He’s a fucking beauty!!! Love seeing Randy Holt footage!!!

1 penalty minute for every 3.3 minutes of play. Randy Holt can rest assured that he owns a record that will never be broken.

My family had season tickets in Calgary, I remember him playing there...long time ago.

You said 1348 penalty minutes instead of 1438 when saying his overall stats

LMFAO. Legendary

see the picture of him with Stan Johnathan at 8:50 to 8:55? That would have been one heck of a scrap, two of the best middleweights in NHL history!

Unfortunately, there is not a real lot of video of him, but he was an enforcer on the level of any of the tough guys in the mid 70s like Dave Schultz, Dan Maloney, Steve Durbano etc. He also had a vicious left hand.

Great video. Bob Kelly of the Flyers was Hound Dog Kelly.

If I'm not mistaken, Jim Dorey had his high penalty minute game in his NHL debut.

Wouldn't it be a better idea of you said the '80% not subscribed' thingy at the end of the video instead of at the beginning? Someone that watched the whole video is much more likely to subscribe

Visit my dads Facebook page. Randy Holt Hockey Career to see more articles, videos and photos. Thank you for sharing and including the details that my dad shares when he retells this story. He always shares he was told to ret-tie his skates as they were coming for him :) Enjoy, The Holt Family.

For whatever happens to you should do Ben Scrivins as he went from the top to the bottom really fast

Wow 67

Hey OddManRush, you should do a video about “Mad” Mel Angelstad. One of the best fighters minor hockey has ever seen

Still not as crazy as Link Gaetz , do a video on him. He was on some teams for one day because he would fighting, owners, teammates , GMs, bar fights. On ice and off ice fighter.

Went with Gretzky in the Blues jersey, nice.

Not sure where you got that penalty sheet but it is not accurate. I watched the game on TV in LA and seen the full video. Steve Jensen did not fight Bob Kelly but did fight Mel Bridgeman THREE times. Bob Kelly fought Mark Heaslip. Go back an watch Holt and Holmgren and you will see Holt nail him twice right at the end.

How is it possible? One game misconduct for getting three major penalties, one for getting two 10 misconduct penalties and one for general principles, I guess. One misconduct was for getting two major penalties.

I played in a Church league in Calgary in the 90's. I played with Randy for a couple of years. He skated around never imposing himself on the game. Once someone was cross checking Randy, acting like an idiot and was warned to stop. It continued until Randy ended the guy's game in thee seconds. A few years later I heard he was arrested for assault in Edmonton. I don't know the circumatance in this case.

Anyone have any idea what Blake Dunlop Said to Randy Holt?

Holmgren thought he was going to mop up Holt and found out otherwise. Three straight left hands on the button and Holmgren was holding on so he wouldn't hit the ice. Holt was tough as nails.

Steve durbano still has the most penalty minutes per game( alltime)

9:50 Is that even a nose?!

Butch Goring needed protection?!?

I watched the game. It was a wild scene. The Flyers were goons

Hi

CTE? What's that? .... CTE? What's that? .... CTE? What's that? ...

Terrible refs. Lol three blind mice. Holt is a beast

Did he like to fight ?? Or did he fight to stay in the pros lol

the original Gordie Howe hat trick was a Goal an Assist and a Penalty ....it is only in the last few decades it has changed to a fight

What was the final score?

But, was Holt a good fighter??

I wish hockey was still played like this. Everything is so fake and phoney now and it shows all over the country. Sad

Toughest pound for pound fighter was Stan Jonathan of the Bruins

You chirpers dont know hockey

Stick to darts limey blah blah blah

Quit your whining about subscriptions! Thumbs down!

I've played with a lot of tough guys. Drafted by New England WHA, MY roomie at camp was NICK FOTIU. He saved my ass. My agent then sent me to Chicago's camp where my roomies were Randy Holt and and Doug Kerslake. Randy was built like a Brick Shithouse. If you're into checking stats i also played with Wally Weir, Quebec,Mike Busniuk Philly NHL, Gilles Bilodeau, James Troy, Frankie Beaton . They were Teddy Fears off the ice except for TROY(NYR). He was big , tough and could really throw them, so he didn't put up with much. DWANE BYERS BEAUCE 1975
