2 months down and Thrilla sucks balls for bus fare


So, it's about 1/4 of the season over and despite (or because of Thrilla's cockiness) he's been bumped from #1 position by Blow My Goat. 

The only rule change requested by the 3 winners of Wendel Clark day was to give goalies points for PIMs. This was in honor of Ray Emery doing the knuckle rap on Brandon Holtby's head which made for some misdirected outrage among the NHL's elite about fighting in the NHL, especially goalies. 

So here's the top 5 goalie fights for your amusement starting with Ray-Ray vs Holtby from a fan's perspective; 


Philly fan's play by play; Oh shit! Oh yeah! Oh shit! Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!





This is classic for a few reasons; there's rare footage of not only Zdeno Chara as an Islander but also Trevor Linden not only being the Captain of the Islanders but also 'kinda' fighting. There's also a cameo by PJ Stark rapping on a guy's noggin before the main event of Dan Cloutier destroying Sami Salo.




This is a good one showcasing the crazy of Patrick Roy, having had plenty of time to get worked up and rare footage of Detroit's 'other' goaltender who was always pretty good in his own right. 





How can you not pick a clip that features two goalies going at it, then one of them going a second time with one of the heavier weights back in the day? Emery Take 2!




The Rocky Three of Fights.  Ron Hextall was still a legend at this time; still a time bomb waiting to happen.
