Classic Blues/Red Wings Brawl

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Since I’m on kind of an ice hockey kick, I thought I’d share with you what is probably my personal favorite hockey fight of all-time, courtesy of the St. Louis Blues and Detroit Red Wings, if nothing else because of the fight between the two goalies (including my favorite Blues goalie ever, Curtis Joseph). Definitely not as ugly as the previously posted Blues/Blackhawks “St. Patrick’s Day Massacre” brawl, but fun nonetheless. This one is from January 23, 1992 (yep, I was still living in Kansas at the time… dammit).

Classic Blues/Blackhawks Brawl

No, this isn’t a fight. It’s a brawl. Probably one of the ugliest you’ll ever see, too. Keep in mind this video is over nine minutes long… and the REAL brawling doesn’t start until about halfway through it, after they flash the score up on the screen, so keep watching for the best part of this. By the way, I don’t remember this one at all, mainly because I wasn’t living in St. Louis in ‘91 (Gina and I were still in Lawrence where we were without Blues hockey on the tube). But later on I heard about this fabled “St. Patrick’s Day Massacre” between the Blues and the Blackhawks and saw some video of it many years later after returning to St. Louis. Now, thanks to YouTube, we can see it again. By the way, I’m willing to wager that this particular brawl was what originated the phrase “I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out.” Enjoy!
