Today's NHL doesn't hold a candle to this era.
Bingo - This is peak NHL. Downhill since these days. Zero heart.
So true
If the refs did their properly the new plan would work. But they don’t. So fights are actually making a comeback
In the toughness aspect it doesn't. However, people who make statements such as yourself, do not truly remember the state of the game in the clutch and grab era.
The NHL peaked in the 80s but by the early noughties, all teams were well coached defensively and 2-1 was a typical boring hockey score. A fight didn't save the day, unless it was one for the ages.
The specific time I personally remember the most fondly is probably the mid 90s, as I was a bit too young to truly appreciate 80s hockey live.
@@woodywoodlstein9519 If the refs did their properly?
What is your source for fights making a comeback?
This was so well done. Two of the best fighters and names from the glory days of hockey.
Along with Stan Johnathan
Ummm. George Laraque
@@fenderboy68 Is that a joke?
This was absolutely fantastic. I swear there was a game when Domi was mic'd up, and Rayzor asked if he could say Hi to his mom. He leaned in to Domi's sweater, said, "Hi, ma. Love you." Then they immediately fought. I wish that clip had made it into the video.
Someone find that!!
We'll never see 2 guys like this again.
This is the best times in the NHL.
Love these 2... they always brought excitement to each game!
when you watch this it makes your hairs stand up!
True that, what a great rivalry they had
Totally agree .
Let's not forget Probert and Nilan also with so many more !
I remember when i was on a flight in 1991 from Edmonton to LA and the NY Rangers were on board. I was sitting next to Randy Gilhen and i saw Domi standing up in the aisle in front of me talking to Mike Gartner and Sergei Nemchinov. I remember Domi had on a cowboy hat and a big smile and noticed his knuckles were full of scabs and looked like his hands went thru a meat grinder. I asked Randy Gilhen if he would mind signing his autograph for my nephew who was a big Rangers fan and he actually said sure and would pass it on to the team. He then gave it to Tie Domi and he had everyone sign it except 'Moose' because Messier was sleeping and didn't dare to wake him. Anyways, thanks to Randy Gilhen and Tie Domi for going out of their way to please a young fan🙏.
That's awesome.
That 1991-92 Rangers team was one of my favorites! You're a lucky guy! You had Norris winner Leetch and Hart winner Messier, and the team won the Presidents Trophy that year! Shame you couldn't get Moose's autograph though lol.
I remember, as a young Rangers fan, being crushed when they traded Domi and Kris King to Winnipeg
Was in tears watching this THEY ARE THE REASON HOCKEY IS THE GREATEST SPORT ON EARTH! THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES RAY AND DOMI!
ABSOLUTELY the greatest sport on earth!👍
Same here I actually had a tear in my eye watching these two fantastic
Couple of good Canadian boys , no one's getting hurt.
Agreed Best sport in the world
Ya unfortunately the game is a far cry from what it used to be in the 90s
As a leafs fan, I remember the domi ray rivalry when I was a kid, fighting 13 times against the same opponent is crazy. Kudos to both tough guys
Beautifully done. Bravo to everyone involved.
Couldn’t have said it better!
Probert, Ray and Domi the nhl won’t be the same without the 3 of them. Great fighters and class acts off the ice. RIP Probie
Bob Probert was a lot of things but class act off the ice was not one of them.
You obviously know nothing about Probert's life outside the ice with ignorant comments like that.
For the record, I think he was a kind hearted fellow, but certainly a very troubled individual who ended up making very bad decisions, and also committing various crimes. Probie was most definitely not a class act off the ice.
I was on the visitors blue line at Marine Midland arena when I was like 15 and I had a Hawk sweater on and Probert waved to me during warm ups. That was the best thing about the whole game for me. Bob was a great dude. Don't judge him for the mistakes he made. Im sure you have made some mistakes but we won't ever know about them because you aren't the most well known enforcer of all time. Show some respect to the man and his family. He died very tragically.
@@ToddCrispies ''Don't judge him for the mistakes he made''
I find this an odd thing to say in a general sense. Why should an individual not be judged for their mistakes, especially when we're talking about a decades long list of misbehaviour and criminal activity? We are after all, talking about someone who served time in prison. That's not exactly a good fellow who strayed off the path slightly and erred a couple of times.
Perhaps you're the kind of person that considers drunk driving, drug addiction and adultery acceptable behaviour. I most certainly do not.
I can not comprehend why we'd want to pretend these things didn't happen. I have the outmost respect for Probert and the career he had in the NHL. However, that doesn't make me blind to the truth. Probert wasn't one of the ''good guys'', far from it.
An additional note. The irony in astounding when you say we should respect his family, when he failed to respect his family himself.
Frankly, I think you're embarrassing yourself.
bro , there's too many dudes to name
This is just awesome! Brings tears to my eyes! Man I miss the old NHL, the old days, the old world.
Good to see this uploaded. Remember when the NHL wouldn't let the Sabres post this?
Is that seriously why they didn’t post it? What, the NHL didn’t want to put a spotlight on fighting?? Lmao
@@jakebates4903Exactly what it was. Petey (Andrew Peters for anyone who doesn't know who I was and am now referring to) mentioned it on an episode of After The Whistle (don't ask me which one). NHL would only let them air it on intermissions for a while and wouldn't let the Sabres post it
@@zwhit5760 I didn’t know that was the reason lmao what a joke dude
@jakebates4903 if you watch the highlights posted by NHL it almost never shows any fights. They're trying to pretend it doesn't exist
@@zwhit5760 They don't want people to see how GREAT the NHL used to be compared to the garbage product it is today. I'm 100% convinced of that. Bettman ruined the NHL and that will forever be his legacy.
I grew up not far from Ray's Fathers machine shop! I can clearly remember walking by from public school and having him sign a autograph for me! He also did a weld job on my mini bike as a kid. When I went to ask how much he said no charge! I still have the autograph and the childhood bike. I also still skate on the pond across from his parents place every winter! As a kid I dreamed of the NHL living in this small town! It's cool he made the SHOW!
Awesome.
Did Hughy weld it for you?
Rob Ray is the nicest man. My mother worked at lakeshore hockey rink back in the 80s when Rob played for the amerks. I traded him a "give blood, play hockey" shirt for a stick. So cool
Two tough hombre's. Sabres need one of these two guys today.
As do the Leafs though I guess we have Domi's son.
@@randomname9758 except, Max can't fight
Man those times were awesome more exciting..
This was excellent to see. I miss old school NHL hockey very much. Watching this makes me wonder where the time has gone. I am 50 now, grew up watching 80's hockey into the 90's and so on. The game has changed so much and I really do miss it, its sad that its forever gone. Its just not the same game anymore.
You can thank Bettman. He ruined the NHL. But if you say that, younger people will call you "boomer" and tell you to just shut up. They have no clue what they missed out on. After the 2004 lockout it was over for the NHL. Playoff games now have less intensity than a preseason game did back in the 80s. Zero passion in today's game.
It really isn't. My enthusiasm for hockey has really waned over the years. Watching this made me realize why. And it is not just about fighting, it is the energy and tension that just doesn't seem to be there anymore. Too many teams, no Coach's Corner to look forward to anymore. I will always love the game of hockey but the NHL sure isn't the same and we were lucky to have lived through the greatest era of hockey.
Yup 90s early 00s were my fave. I don't watch the game now or follow it. I was at bar other night game was on and it was first time in decade watching and what a snooze fest. Then tonight Leafs flyers 2003 game 7 came up on RUclips and the difference is depressing. Way more physical but also better skating and agility imo. Then the fact they finished their checks and refs were not tight asses. Goalies were more fun to watch and more physical and obviously could play pick more. Game just ain't the same. Now it's all about tweets and rainbow tape.
@@MacNur-tu3cq Can you imagine Scott Stevens in today's NHL? He'd be suspended most of the year every season for some of the hits he threw back then. Today's game is weak sauce. Look at the lineups too. These guys wouldn't be in the AHL back then, let alone NHL. Yet we're lead to believe today's players are "faster and better" than ever? Yeah right. What a load.
@@94champs I'd rather have the pace xnd culture of the game the way it was in 80s, 90s and early aughts. Stevens was beast. Lots of tough mfers back then. The players were just different breed back then. They partied harder, hit harder, and didn't have social media to rot their egos and brains. Just watching that flyers leaf game from 03 just led me down rabbit hole of all the great names and games. It really was a better sport and the culture was way better. Hockey was the last stand of badassery in pro sports but now it is falling to the all inclusive soft pc environment. Not to mention guys were still valuable in their later years and still were stars. Now it seems league full of young guys with silver spoons.
90-е это лучшее время НХЛ . Время величайших вратарей , величайших защитников , величайших нападающих , и конечно , величайших энфорсеров !
The best 18 minutes of video EVER! These guys are both class acts and so glad to see this and be able to watch it over and over again. RAY VS Domi were special moments. Thank you to both guys!
Glad this is back up. Best era in hockey
Brought me to tears. True sportmanship i dont think we see to much of today as we did back in the day. The CODE is fading away,
I still love hockey
It’s a great game of speed and skill filled with physicality.
But I’d be lying if I told ya I didn’t miss this part of the game.
Wow!!! That was by far the best Interview with having two of the greatest Fighters in the N.H.L. sharing their memories and the respect they had for each other. Brought tears to my eyes and so nice to see them as friends again. Thank you Ray and Domi.
Never I ever thought I was going to be teary eyed watching this video let alone seeing Ray getting emotional at the end as well Domi. Mad Respect. Thanks for the shows when I was a kid in the 90’s 💪🏻🏒
Is it weird that I shed some tears 😢 at this!? Watched all these fights as a kid in my early teens. Miss those days 😪
Those fights bring back such deep emotions and feelings that I had for the game of hockey. Something I will cherish forever. RIP NHL 👊🏼
Sadly, you're right 😢
That was a great video... Much respect for both of those warriors. I saw 1 live fight between Ray and Domi at the Marine Midland Arena, and let me tell you... I've never heard an arena that loud in my entire life. I thought the roof was going to come off the place. It was truly electrifying. I believe it happened less than 3 minutes into the first period. Wow, what a beauty!
Watching this, makes me love these guys even more. True warriors..
Man growing up a leafs fan, Domi was everything!!! Man those were some fun games to watch.
Wow, this just popped up on my feed and I'm so glad to have taken the time to watch it. Having played against both of these guys and knowing the two of them on and off the ice. It made me laugh and get emotional over the nature of the game of hockey and the era that I played. They did there job, love them or hate them but that was a big part of the game. I was always grateful for the police men I played with, great careers well earned with all kinds of respect. See you around.
Yes I grew up in Toronto and had the TV warmed up to watch the games to see this!!! Domi was one tough little dude for a small guy there is no tougher than that guy!!
lifelong Leafs fan, thank you for making this. awesome idea and have respect for both these guys.
Gotta love the respect they have for each other
Hate to admit it but this genuinely brought tears to my eyes. Hockey’s such a beautiful game and this just encapsulates everything I love about it.
I remember one of Ray's first interviews when he retired was Tie, the tension was off the charts!! Amazing to see them like this. great video
I miss the old nhl. Now everyone is a baby.
Bring back beyond blue and gold
man that was beautiful. didnt know I needed this. Makes me proud to have grown up when I did (born in 91) to be able to get just old enough to catch these two go at it. My father took me to games young. (was at the last aud game ) my favorite era of hockey tbh. nothing can touch it. these two beauties made some of the biggest impacts on that. Of coarse with the help of RJ calling them fights. Loved being at them but NOTHING brought them to the level of chills like RJ could make them. Times im glad happen. cheers and well done boys.
I was at the last aud game too……vs the whalers
oh yeah I was young but never will forget it. special place @@danevertt3210
True warriors that made the game that much more exciting. All class and humility. God bless them both ❤
Great seeing two like that sitting down together
Epic fights! Loved watching these guys give their bodies in this battles. My best friend got a pair of boxing gloves framed and signed by each of these guys.
That’s awesome
Absolutely amazing! So happy we still get to listen to rob ray to this day I’m hoping it’ll stay that way for a long time!!
When the Leafs and Sabres played, their was always energy in both buildings back at this time. Ray and Domi sure brought it for their respective teams. Great memories
Pains me to say it, but well done Buffalo, a fantastic video and a deserving tribute to two of the toughest to ever play the game!
Eh, I support the Leafs when you are in the playoffs. We are neighbors after all.
That was a fantastic piece. Watching them look back at their battles, with the respect they have for each other and the game was emotional. Great job.
No better time than after a dirty play when the crowd would start chanting "Ray! Ray! Ray! Ray!" and then Lindy would finally put him on the ice and the crowd would explode. Then the gloves would drop immediately when the puck dropped. I know I was there for a Domi fight when we were chanting for Ray prior, it was awesome! Thanks for the memories, gentlemen!
As a Bruins fan I always hated these guys...but I respected them, still do. This was well done Thank You.
How touching to see these two showing so much respect and love for each other. Makes you think about how certain people affect us, if even for the oddest of ways.
Nothing but total respect for these 2 warriors of good old time hockey ❤
I remember watching these two titans and man they went right to it,absolute Legends of the game and seeing them now and having that respect for each other is awesome, great video.
Probably the second greatest video ever made by the Sabres. You all know what's first.
Jim Shoenfeld beating half the Bruins roster up after whipping Terry Orielly through the doors?
@@pablobarosa27 The RJ Tribute.
@@hockeyteethWhy? He was horrible
@@jeffreycairns767 you're horrible
This was brilliant - my only wish is that it was done in a bitttt more detail. If this was an hour long - it’d be top 3 hockey content videos
Two of my favourite hockey players of all time. This was an amazingly well done video. I wish Tie and Rob great health and happiness.
This was great and those were great days of hockey. 2 guys who admire each other.
I really enjoyed this!!! Thank you so much. Great respect for both these guys. Not an easy role to play night in and night out, year after year. Well done boys...and thanks for the memories!!
One of the best hockey clips I've ever watched, that was great !!
I loved this. 2 of the toughest fighters that ever played the game
Bravo! Would love to see more content like this.Domi was a Bull and was fearless,he would fight anyone.Love how they can sit in the same room and laugh about it.True respect towards each other.
I had a great hockey coach throughout my youth that played with Domi for the Peterborough Pete's. He always told us stories about Domi and how he was a great guy. My coach was a goalie that respected the game just as much as anyone. So his words were always were held in high regard.
Not gonna lie, I got a little emotional. Makes me think of the background of an era. I miss my parents and grandparents so much, loved watching the boys. It was a great moment in time!
I wanted and got a NYR #28 Domi jersey for Christmas 1992 when I was 13. It was best Christmas present ever. Domi got traded 3 days later to Winnipeg and I was devastated. Still have it to this day, it doesn't fit and it’s pretty beat up but it’s still my favourite. Thanks Tie and Rob for the great memories.
I lived in Buffalo during this era and saw most of these fights. I miss that era a lot. I barely even watch the NHL anymore.
Good to see. The hearts of champions and warriors. I played in the 70-80s but consider their era to be the last of the Enforcers.
BBG, another video for the ages, exquisite. Now fix the team you're rolling out onto the ice this year.
I personally would love to extend a heartfelt thank you to both of these gentlemen. Watched every one of these tilts growing up. They meant so much to my youth looking back, realizing it more now later in life. Great players & competitors. This was so classy bringing these 2 together like this.
These guys were why, after playing Big Ten football on a year (1-year Red Shirt) 5 years total with an injury that ended my football hopes of NFL. I went to my second sport ice hockey. I loved ice hockey, but not from Canada, so got a late start 10 years old. played in my late 20s until 48 when I hung up the blades. Had 1 fight and knocked their big guy out---never another fight. My skating weight was 285 lbs. 6% body fat---missed my calling--- wished I was younger and went hockey instead of big ten football with hope of no injury to NFL. ....I loved protecting my teammates and scoring slapshots from D. Only one time scored from behind the red line with a blazer----Even I could not believe it----Still not violent as football almost as fun for me---love ice hockey God bless all you great ones who play ice hockey from an American football/Hockey player!!! Ray v Domi---You both made the game great---We fans, ex-players love you boys!!! We all got our hockey stories---No hate for sharing!!!
Tie calling someone else's head a "melon" is wild.
Thank you for this Video! Ray and Domi, for me the best fighters ever. ❤️
Heart warming seeing two of the toughest guys of thier ere going from fist's to hugs.👏👏 respect!!!
I always pictured these two guys and flyers uniforms playing together. Can you imagine!! Wow!! 🤣👌💪
Two warriors who were throwbacks to another era, Domi will always be my favorite he fought hard and put on a show then make you laugh and he would sometimes hug his opponents and let them know that he respected them!
Classic piece with 2 top class guys. Yes, I have something in my eye.
What a great interview. Two great warriors with big hearts going over their battles over the years. I wish the NHL was like that today.
Most of the fighters back in the day seemed to really respect each other. It’s amazing. They could be trying to knock each others head off one moment and ready to go out for a beer together the next moment. They had such a tough job. Warriors.
that was awesome to see.. two guys who put it all out on the line, and reflect years later. Beautiful;!!! RESPECT
I remember them all......2 tough bastids :).....so much fun
Ray v Domi ....what a great video! Been waiting for its release
That was admirable. Sabres have some cool history. Dryden vs. Dryden comes to mind for me.
Two guys that Sabre fans adore….RJ and Razor. Immortalized in the hearts of Buffalo fans. Rob Ray is such a gentleman, hard to believe he had the enforcer mentality.
Thanks Razor and Tie!
Superb Bravo!!!
These two men are tougher than woodpecker lips, what a great time to watch this sport.
I’m not crying. You’re crying.
Holy cow. Bless these guys
Absolutely awsome watched these guys throughout there careers well done
Always was Amazing to watch
THIS WAS AWESOME!!! BRILLIANT TY ROB AND TIE FOR THE MEMORIES
That was really nice to watch.
Grew up playing ol time hockey.
Throughout the 80s, the game was starting to change. I wasn't a fighter. But was in a few. I took a few pops to noggin and nuts between lightning up the pipes.😎 Respect to all those who protected me when otherwise I was toast!
Thank you for producing this.👍
God Bless these two. A lot of these guys have pain pill addictions and troubled lives after their playing days. Rest in peace to Probert and the Boogeyman and all the others that struggled after their glory days.
awesome a lot of history and memories
thank you
Ray & Domi
Amazing hockey players. 2 of the best ever in my book.
Wow!!! Now that was SPECIAL!!!
That was awesome Respects to these two Legend enforcers
I just LOVE how much respect they have for one another and how humble they were.
Ray and Domi are really well spoken.
True professionals. Domi would do well as a color analyst, just like Ray.
Ray is tremendous in his new role.
PS: Ray definitely won the war! ;-)
Disagree, as a Leafs fan. Lol
This brought a tear to my eye….not only for the memories of these two warriors respect for each other, but because I miss old school hockey where the players policed themselves.
Wow!!! Very interesting the respect between each other!
I'm a Bruins fan since '77 Hockey is the best game Ray and Domi are one of the many reasons why. I'm glad I was around to witness the good ole days.
Greatness never shouts, it only whispers. This speaks to a forgotten hockey era, the best era in my opinion.
Great tribute to two legends
Amazed at the respect for each other, and the difference of option I have just listening to these guy talk. I do not understand the fighting mentally however the respect for each other now is amazing.
My favorite part of this is how back in their playing days they were enemies on the ice and always were going at each other. Now, they can get together like 2 long time buddies and reminisce about the glory days. Gotta love it!
