The GM of Toronto said it best when he has the press conference where he said that the game has lost its way when a guy like Colton Orr doesn’t have a spot on the roster.
Orr probably would've fought Boogaard but like the announcers said he got knocked out in Pittsburgh the game before and probably still wasn't feeling great.
Sean Avery was smart enough to figure out he didn't have the talent to stay in the league so he had to clown it up to stay relevant. The problem with that is clowning doesn't make a career.
@jeffreycairns767 Exactly. Being a professional athlete isn't easy. He recognized he didn't have what it takes so he went a different route to make a post NHL career. Whatever it takes.
I dunno about that. He had some decent seasons, especially for a pest with high penalty minutes. Scored 15g a couple of times including once when only playing 57g. Prolly woulda got 20+ that year had he been healthy. He also played special teams. A lot of analysts think that if he toned down on his antics and off-ice distractions, he woulda been better or at least lasted even longer than he already did. Not the other way around. 247 points in 580 games and a +16 isn’t exactly the stats of someone who couldn’t play…

Never would have imagined this kind of hockey would become extinct
Boogaard was a beast. Such a shame RIP.
Boogard
Orr said he wouldn't fight him cause he was drunk

It's amazing how freely guys were able to two-hand whack each other without a penalty being called back then.
13 years ago = “back then” lol
@@enwhy7810 😆 I know it wasn't long ago 😄
@@MMoses87 it WAS tho 😫 lol
I know Orr either had a injury or wasn't 100% for some reason, he's not one to back down from fighting. Boogaard was definitely ready to go.
What is this? Bodychecks being thrown? No scrums after every check?….miss this shit
Boyle trying to act tough against Orr is fuckin hilarious. Boyle would get KTFO
This must’ve been such a cool team to have been on. From players to the head coach.
NO one wanted to drop them with the Boogey Man. He was a beast!
God I forgot about Sean Avery.
Up until last year, Phil Kessel hadn't missed a game since before this one.
I went to a boxing match and a hockey game broke out.
Mike Brown was under-rated
And he couldn’t play hockey
Mess with Brown ,you go down.
Orr was tough nobody wins every fight boogy was never the same when he came to ny because of his huge drug problem what a shame
Sean Avery straight outta pickering
Orr got an ass kicking in Pittsburgh
What was with those 🆕 York Life banners behind the Goalies - talk about cringe 🤐😬
Rip Derek Boogaard
it seems the people came just to see them fight more than just the game ..
Still had fights back then.
I hope nobody was too seriously offended by this?

Yup, it makes him a goof and nothing more

Not a fan but he got paid
Didn’t seem very rough.
If there's a fight, I put "rough stuff". Ever seen any of my videos before?
look at the leafs now, bunch of panzys
Not worth watching.
Miss this type of hockey!!..now a days the players wear skirts, not allowed to hit and God for bid you fight. They ruined the game
