Other Penalties: Each player received a misconduct.
Crap fight. Goddard is a useless goon and Gilles is a useless human being. Why was the game "clean " after that? Engelland and Rupp were still on the bench. Things went crazy last game because they were both tossed early for nothing. Who are the Isles going to cheap shot on the 8th green?
Gillies is a retarded goon..Never would make it on a real hockey team..The Isles show their class having an idiot on their team like that..Then again their team sucks so a goon/clown is their only thing to cheer about..As for Goddard..He will be in another uniform next year..I hope he is better where ever he ends up..
Everyone knew this bout was coming since the Feb game between Pit /NYI. Gillies the clear winner in this bout. Love Godard, though.
Gillies with a clear win.
Gillies a clear winner? I say a clear waste of a fight. I give neither of them credit except for maybe a good disco display. They both looked like crap in that fight. I have never seen people throw more wasted punches at the air and pads and everywhere but on the button. And for all of you who are going to say he landed a bunch of them, then he must be a real weenie then if he couldn't KO him being as big as he is. Gillies looks like a chimp when he's getting ready to scrap and acts like a total ass after most of them(his wannabe evil stare and big mouth, give me a break)and Godard, who I actually like his sprotsmanship,can't stay on his feet to save his life there. What a waste of bench space. Gotta learn to keep your eyes open when you throw punches guys, you might land a few more and better ones at that. NHL fighting is pathetic these days. Kocur and Twist need to start training these guys how to punch and land punches with some real impact. Oh the good 'ol days!
Win Gilles. Godard in his prime would win. Gilles is just was hockey doesn't need anyway. He's a punk. I was hoping Martin or Haley would fight Godard or at least Asham. They couldn't find the agitator type opponent. Can't wait for them to fight an actual enforcer!
Gillies.....second biggest P.O.S in the league........
Guess nobody here actually follows the season. Didn't anyone else notice Godards attempt to keep his side of the face with the recently broken orbital bone away from any punches . Never kept his balance with the awkward stance. Geez
Gillies is nothing more than a minor league bush p*u*s*s*i*e. He is minor league hack playing for a minor league team. Eric Godard should have shown him his Stanley Cup ring while Gillies was flapping his jaws to the minor league fans he plays for.
An injured Godard vs a career GOON. No surprise here....
eric godard manhandled gillies.
Congratulations to Gillies for winning his first fight all season. Smart move by the refs for tossing him before he does some goon crap.
Expected much, much more here. Godard looked like he borrowed George Parros' skates for this fight...
gillies with the win,woulda been a good bout between Gillies and Engelland,come on Godard you can fight better then that.
Meh. Crap fight.
LOVE IT Gillies with easy win
Gillies kept squirming, and eventually managed to out-point, a lethargic looking, Goddard with both fists, and a series of takedowns. Not at all what I expected.
win for Giles
Goddard was horrible. This guy is a heavyweight? That mongrol Gillies with the win here.
Godard looked indifferent--I first used lethargic but saw brother Behn Wilson already used the word.
Wow, Godard has really lost it!
Gillies with the easy win, Godard sure doesn't seem to have it anymore.
Godard sleepwalked through this tilt. He hasn't been the same since having his orbital busted.
Uhm...to all you Islander fans who have commented that Goddard comes to the Island to get his ass kicked...you must have forgotten that Goddard clearly beat Gillies that last time in the crazy game.....check out the fight and the vote.....jack#[email protected]
Good fight. Some haymakers !!
Gillies is the best fighter in the league.
Remove the letters "god" from godard. Washed up. No defense vs. lefties. Rupp does a better job at this point.
Completely unexpected, a younger Godard would have made paste of Gillies. No animosity to G-man, loved his days on the Island, he just looked like he was sent in and didn't really want to be there. Gillies knew it might come down to this, and completely made the most of his marquee opportunity. Bet he was secretly glad to be the man in and not Michael Haley. Hope Colin Campbell doesn't suspend him for this lol......
Islanders's guy wins easy.......
godard took it too cautiously.kinda easy win gillies...gave it 6
I love it!!! W Gillies.
gillies gets the win in this fight.
I agree that although some of the statements about Godard, his recently smashed orbital, last fight etc all may or may not have anything to do with this fight, the undebateable reality is Godard was destroyed i this fight. Keep in mind the fight was mutual off a center-ice draw, not defending a late hit, cheap hit etc so not sure I buy the counter argument. Godard would be unlikely to accept the fight or frankly even be dressed going into the playoffs by his coach if he was able to hold up. Gillies has not gotten his due respect as a fighter at this point. He has been dominant when he's been dressed. Cheers!
Close, but that P.O.S. Gillies wins w/ the nice connection at the end. Godard not dressing at all lately definately seems to have hurt him.
Goddard never got going. I would rather have seen Engelland go with Gillies...would have been a better fight and a different outcome.
Wow, I was expecting a better show from Godard. This was a fight you gotta know he has been thinking about and wanting since the big brawl 2 months ago. Gillies with the DOMINATING win.
Nice bout, good performance by Gillies against Godard. Wouldn`t expect that before;)
Gillies dominated this one.
Wow, Godard got his butt kicked. Did he put his feet up during his 10-game suspension or what?
Current Islander beats the ex Islander
godard wasnt fighting like he was mad as hell,gillies tuned him in.i thought godard was really pumped for this?guess not.
Godard flopped.
wow, Gillies handled Godard easily in this one... I agree 100% with kbelanger regarding Bettman/Campbell and Boston
Enough goddamn excuses for Godard already! If he couldn't fight he wouldn't! He is trying to protect the orbital bone, but again if he is willing tough shit. Also when he jumps Rosehill for hitting Crosby then punches him in the back of the end while down and breaks his nose it was way to go Godard!! So f u c k Godard, he got his ass kicked fairly, deal with it!!!
Goddard would have whipped Gillies in his prime. Goddard just too old. Excuse, excuse, excuse sad PP fans. Goddard is 31, Gillies is 32.
Really wanted to see more from Godard. Honestly wanted to see him pound the snot out of Gillies. But Gillies walks away (to the locker room... wtf is up with that...) with a stuipdly easy win. Really not a big fan of Gillies, but he answered to the call and sent Godard packing.
so much for GODARD beating the crap out of GILLIES .all GILLIES, im sure there will be contrary statements to provoke arguements,from guys not knowing the sport .or just hating GILLIES or PENGUINS fans hating .you might read something about goons etc it was just .two enforcers squaring off .GILLIES won this time..next time who knows .
Gillies beats up Goddard and embarrasses him.
Whats up with all the hate for Gillies? The guy dominated all season and Tavares makes the big league scoring team. Hes got Domi circular gravity move, can go with either hand KO power and takes one to give one. Give me a break you god damn yokels.
Guess Godard forgot about the potential for a left left jersey jab. It was all downhill after those.
that was bullshit that they both got tossed. . .I would of liked to see Gillies put more trash on the IR and stand in the tunnel and taunt (that was awesome) nice job at blowing a great game, The rest was terrible to watch. The Hens must of cried to the league every day following the last time.
Hey yngblonde1, your real tough behind a computer. I bet you can't even skate, you retard. Why don't you go stick a plunger in your ass, then go buy a pair of glasses. Gills is as tough as anyone in the league, he's an amazing skater and has very hard to get where he is. Your a fuckin retard and you really make all of us that come on this site feel shame.
I feel bad for Godard, he's had a rough season against the Islanders
We'll happy to see Gillies with the win, for people saying why is he in the nhl? Thats the reason. Was pure domination but either a good showing by gillies or a bad showing by godard. Love seeing pens get beat up
GILLIES, (the player who Bettman,Campbell,The referees have made their whipping boy, when there have been so many worse incidents than the ones he was involved in, that have gone unpunsihed, the guy they make an example out of every time they can) WITH THE WIN. Bettman/Campbell/Refs-the NHL will always be a joke because of the way you run it. You pick your favorites and that is that, nothing is ever fair...here's to the Islanders and the other dis-respected teams around the league-sticking up for themselves. Someones gotta do it. You suck at life. Boston Bruins smartest team for signing Campbells Son. The team gets away with murder. Lucic cross check to moore's face, Chara's attempt to end paccioretti's career-all UNPUNISHED! Gillies would have been awaitng the electric chair. HEY ICEBREAKER-Guess you had bad seats and didnt see ENGLAND get his ass up ended by Haley. England real tough-he didnt even do anything to Haley. had the whole game to go after him but pussed out.
Looks like when Godard fights an Islander straight up, he gets his ASS KICKED
Bad fight..draw without a doubt and gilles didn't get tossed just a 5 + 10
Big Pens fan here but in all fairness I gotta give the edge to Gillies. We were on the glass for the game and while it was far from a great fight Godard really did nothing to even get him a vote in my opinion. That being I got a chance to see Gillies up close and personal and it confirmed what I already thought, he's a low life piece of crap. A guy next to me yelled at him and he zones in on the guy and starts wagging his tongue and making crazy faces. He looked like a cross between the WWE and KISS and definately represent his team well. Lastly it's interesting to note that once again none of the Islander's band of tough guys skates anywhere near Engle who is the new tough guy in Pittsburgh. kbelanger33nyi Of course I saw the hit, you mean the late one where the puck was gone and Haley hit him low, that one right? Not quite sure how a cheap shot qualifies as standing up to someone and challenging them to a fight but maybe that's how it works in your world. By the way it's Engelland, he's a defenseman not a country. Your're obviously an Islander fan so maybe you could explain the Crosby sucks chant late in the 3rd Period of a very close and entertaining hockey game. What does have to do with anything at that point. So the Pens open the Playoffs in Pittsburgh and the Isles open at Bethpage Black where they haven't missed an April tee-time in years. Have a good round!!
I like the respect tap from Gillies, Not a great bout. But it will do. Win Gillies.
LooneyTunes Gillies takes advantage of God(ard) of Thunders ringrust.... a good win solidifying his spot on the Top Heavies List
Gilles ownd this one
Did Godard step on the puck?
no doubt about I that time, gillies handed godard his ass!
Pretty good fight. Gillies mustache makes it like 5 times better as well!
This one was all Gillies.
Easy win Gillies !!!! Good job man. Those refs are real joke
