The Most Penalized Game in NHL History 

The bench clearing brawls of the 80's and 90's are still something to see today. Those were usually how the penalties built up to record numbers. You won't ever see them in today's NHL without MUCH backlash. Still, there have been real zingers past then, such as Flyers-Senators brawl on March 5, 2004.

Hockey was still pretty brutal in 2004. Started to shift after the lockout. Today guys stand with their backs turned facing the glass not thinking anyone is going to hit them.

Was at that flyers game. Been to a lot of games but this one was crazy and a blast.

One of the greatest games I ever watched. That and the 2007 team brawl between Ottawa and Buffalo

Jacques Martin is the Sens coach again lol! Take that Bobby Clarke.

No one will ever break Randy Holt’s record of 67 minutes in a game in 1979

Great video Paul! Been waiting for a video like this for a while now.

I was visiting Philadelphia for a table hockey tournament. On one of the off days, we decided to go to a Flyers game, it was this game. Being a Bruins fan, I was so lucky to be here to see this in person. The arena was electric, and I lost my voice.

We really missed out on a coach fist fight, old men scrap!! old men scrap!! Great video as always baby ❤

I remember being at a Canucks game (against the Flyers, I think) in the early ‘90s in the old Pacific Coliseum where Gino Odjick (who was evidently using an Easton Aluminum at the time) crosschecked someone so hard it just bent the stick around him. Needless to say, a brawl ensued and Gino ended up shirtless with no pads left from the waist up challenging anyone who was willing to go. Man, he was a tough SOB!

This kind of behavior is despicable. There's no room in hockey for this nonsense, and it needs to be STOPPED ASAP! Suspensions and fines need to be stiffened. Hitting(aka: "checking") is antiquated and has no place in the sport of hockey today. **Haha, nahhh, I'm just f#cking with you, I LOVE this kind of shit! The NFL is slowly turning into a pansy fest, and we can't let them neuter our game of hockey like they did to football!! Checking is a skill. Players are taught how to give and receive checks, so as to minimize risks of injury to both players. There is a risk of injury in every single sport. You will never have a risk-free physical sport. But that doesn't mean you eliminate all aspects of it. I love hockey. Please don't f#ck with it.

I remember watching that flyers/sens game. Taped it on my VCR too. One of the most crazy and fun games I've ever seen. Edit: great video, btw. It was great seeing Rex out there in a flyers uniform again. Dude is one of the most underappreciated players in the league. My all time favorite.

That call still makes me laugh. Everyone on the ice gets a 10 minute major. Lol

That Fla/Ott game didn't shock us. It amused the living bejeezus out of most of us and gave the season a helluva spark.

Flyers & Sens 😂😂😂😂. Every player on the ice - GAME MISCONDUCT 😂😂😂

The fact that the most recent game was not even in the top 5 of all time is crazy.

The Montreal/Quebec game on good friday was insane !

Matty’s a beauty! Old school, strong, and skilled.

Martin the Rat Havlat. What a throwback. Made Brad Marchand look like an angel.

I am very proud to say I was at this game..it was bedlam. I lost my voice and yes we booed for not fighting right away. What the broadcast doesn't show is the amount of equipment that was strewn all over the ice between the brawls

You've gotta do that Penguins/Islanders game. It was unbelievable.

I remember watching this game live. This was insane.

That game was a treat to watch. Still remember being over at a friend's house for a sleepover. Found the Sens game with the rabbit ears (my friend was out in the boonies).

My favorite team being in a riot for an nhl record 1 month and 1 day after i was born has never made me prouder to be a flyers fan, i was born for this team

I was at the Sens vs Florida game.. absolute gong show

Poor Marty Havlat...only player I know of who missed nearly half a season from an injury caused by climbing over the boards to start a shift.

I remember watching this game live. What a great night.

This… This is Hockey. Penalties.

That game is a badge of honor for any Flyers fan. The league has pussified the game and I'm glad to see a bit more fighting creep into the game.

There was more to it but you did a decent job overall. Would have been nice to see some Philly commentary.

I wish refs would let goalies go at it more nowadays!? It's so rare when it gets that crazy, that the goalies even think about fighting each other and if it gets that far and both goalies seem wiling then let em go at it!!? It's 2 goalies in full pads...the chances of either of them really hurting the other with punches is pretty slim!? Most goalie fights r just awkward fights with punches thrown but not many landed and they usually end up in a heap fairly quickly falling over each other's equipment!? I say if it gets to that point and 1 goalie looks down ice and challenges the other or if one of goalies comes to red line to challenge other goalie and they're both willing then let em go at it!!? I remember a Bruins game not to far back where Ullmark I think was in on scrum around bet a lil and other goalie came to red line and when Ullmark saw him he went towards him and it looked like both goalies were willing to fight but the refs stopped it and wouldn't let Ullmark close enough and other goalie just waited on his side of red line!? Refs should've just asked em both if they were willing to fight and if both said yes then they should've let em go!? When goalies fight it's a pretty slim chance of either of em getting really hurt cuz if they get chance to fight it usually doesn't last very long cuz they tire out quickly with all those pads on, and they rarely land any punches let alone any really good ones!? It's more just an awkward grabbing, pushing,and shoving sort of wrestling match with a few wild punches here and there!? And they usually end up grabbing each other and spinning around while wrestling with each other and trying to get off a half decent punch!? If goalies r willing to fight I say LET EM GO AT IT!!!?

DOWN GOES SPEZZA!!! DOWN GOES SPEZZA!!!

It wasn't as bad as it looked. If you wanted to tangle with Rob Ray you better be ready. Brasheer was a big tough guy and I'm not sure he was up to the task. Also I think Clarke had a valid (slightly) beef about the wrong guys fighting. Although if you have made it to the NHL you know how to fight. You think Crosby hasn't danced? Or even the Great One? Think about when Gretzky started playing. During the Broad Street Bully era. You know some coaches tried to stop him through murder on the ice.

Those Sens home jerseys were sweet

Wow this is crazy

Please do more of these games

I got an ad so it's not age restricted yet

Who would've guessed? THE FLYERS Also I've met Rob ray, nice guy, if you mess with him he can and will rock you

Chara was even in there and getting penalty minutes as big Z should

The lockout partially ruined the NHL. It really killed the iconic rivalries we saw in the 80s and 90s, and really watered down the intensity in the sport. I think salary caps have also diluted the talent pool of some teams despite the NHL's mantra that hockey players are the most talented they've ever been in general. Wings and Avs of the 90s, or the 80s Oilers would absolutely destroy any modern NHL team.

I hate the instigator rule. I miss pre lock out hockey.

I gota Watch this be4 it gets age restricted

Crazy game, but definitely one of the most entertaining in the history of the NHL. Merry Christmas, Paul!!

Ottawa may suck but we’re a tough group of men

Laine will one day get the most penalty minutes in a game cause he has the ability to be up all 20 players on the team

I was at this game

all goog til you drop "Jocks Maartin"

So sad about Moore :( but he used his elbow to injure naslund. He could’ve had a long career.

It’s hard to believe it’s almost the ten year anniversary of this game.

I mean, you don't just hit Rob Ray and get away with it.

wtf was that faceoff at 4:52

Sens had a good line brawl VS the Habs a few years ago, I think it was round 1 of the playoffs, I was there!

Did Havlát fight in the match?

Todd Bertuzzi was one of the most dogshit players to ever skate.

Two things I can't help but notice are missing in your commentary. 1. By the end of the game, there were barely enough eligible players left on either side to finish it. 2. And where was Havlat the entire time? Safe & cushy on the bench and in the box. 🤣

ahh i remember when Gio was a factor

Sweet 😅

fans went to a fight and a hockey game broke out smh

All of this stemmed from Martin Havlat and his antics in previous games. He was very dirty player, slashing players just all around dirty plays. He was a coward, in hockey you will have to pay the piper and Havlat always let his teammates fight his battles. The Flyers (and for that matter most of teams) had enough and took makers into their own hands!

The officials really need the power to terminate games and mean it.

Rob Ray went after Sami kapanen that's why Brashear got involved

This game was pretty tame. They only started fighting with 1:45 left in the 3rd period. The refs gave a bunch of players 10 minute misconducts, and double game misconducts. That's why the game got the record for penalty minutes. The refs over did it with the penalties they gave out.

Probert and Kocur would have whipped all these guys

The whole game can be seen here on RU-vid

Ummm.... Donald Brashear is a legendary fighter. He knew who he was picking the fight with. It doesn't matter who wins. If it's you're willing, that matters. But, Brashear won that fight.

Seizure warning!

Where is the Iceberg vid

The problem with you young bucks is you don't look back at the '70's and 60's for your facts. I am sure there were worse games back then.

Fr also plz pin is a coated channel

where iceberg video

Rob Ray never won a fight with his shirt on!

mace n taze

Such garbage bag hockey lmfao. So glad we don't get this anymore. That said, the Sens/Panthers clown fiesta was pretty entertaining. I mean, why not? It was a blowout anyway xD

God I love my Flyers. Especially the ones I grew up with. Today's hockey is terrible. Funny how ratings plummet the softer the game gets. If you wanna see real hockey anymore I gotta go watch the local high school teams 😂

Bobby Clarke is one of the all time clowns of the league.

the only people who dont want hockey like this are rich old people and soft bellies. the fans loved it, everyone watching on tv loved it. only people saying is was a scar on the game are people like bettman who came from the NBA to keep the NHL at the bottom of pro sports in america.

BEEEEEEEEF

Only pro sport that has 2 different rules. One for the season and none for the playoffs. Thats why the star players that carry this sht sport on their backs, cant perform during playoffs due to the 4th liners becoming stars.

Why not show the goalie fight? 😒😒

The games gettin soft.

didnt show goalie fight. thumb down

you need to work on your scripts: the next game in line is not the "recent" one you chose between pens and isles, but the bruins vs north stars with 13 minutes less. Obviously if you go down the list until you get to that pens/isles game, of course it doesn't come "remotely close", since you skipped 4 games in between the two in the all time list. What's kinda sad about this is that I watched many of your videos, and this is always the same: you come up with a great idea, but the result is, at best, "fine". I would compare you to a high draft pick that just never makes an impact on the game: lots of potential, but basic skills and no improvement from one game/video to the other

I envision Brady and Matthew punching each other over and over forever and ever.

I watched the 2011 NYI/PIT warfare live. Still one of my favorite hockey experiences ever.

GO FLYERS!
