Al Montoya vs Rick DiPietro

Rick DiPietro is my hero.

great fight, I dont know why but goalie fights are so much more exciting!

Neither goalie was a "coward."

How are you a coward when you hit someone that goes down? He came down the ice, dropped the golves, and should have expected anything...

Good win for DiPietro. Looks the the tight jersies might have actually helped their mobility while punching (not so much the case for players).

Lol Dipietro had to instruct Montoya what to do rofl.

Ricko laying the beat down...... and i gots to give a99hammer some PROPS for being beyond correct......... if you voted win for montoya your a TOOL

First I need to clear a couple of things up. I'm an islander fan but I tell it like it is. 1. DP killed the guy. Montoya waited to grab on before he would take his mask off and I would have punched him when he's down regardless. Next Orr is one of the top 5 fighters in the game and would beat Simon 3 out of every 5 fights. Hollweg has no shot at simon, He's not even a middleweight! If Asham were still here he would destroy him, never mind Simon. Avery is scum who likes to instigate and only fights on his terms. He tried to bait Asham last year knowing asham had a hand injury and if any of you Rangers fans thing that Avery is nothing more than a pest who can fight sometimes when he wants and the time is right your out of your minds and don't know hockey. I hope Asham meets up with him this year. You all saw when Asham made Barnaby cry and I can tell you, avery is not in any one of those leagues. Avery will get his. Also when Simon was being tied up after he hit Hollweg 2 guys came after him, That's bull****, you go after someone man to man and I don't like it when the Islanders do either. In teh end I will state the obvious and that's the Rangers have a better team and that's what counts, I just want Avery beaten to a pulp for being nothing more than a pest. My dad would have kicked my ass if I ever acted like that. You screw with someone and then when that person wants to fight you, you cut and run, Hell know!!! My dad would have come down to the ice and kicked the other players ass and then mine regardless of my age. Your either a man or your a bitch and that's what Avery is PERIOD!!!

why should Montoya remove his mask, which he did anyway? That's DiPietro's stupidity, did he take his mask off before he joined the scrum? Simon didn't get enough being the ultimate coward by baseball swinging Hollweg in the face? This is why Ted Nolan didn't coach for long in the NHL and could only catch on with the bush league Islanders and only as a "bad-boy" novelty. Do you have to wonder why no one wants to play for the Islanders, the biggest joke franchise on the planet

ISLANDERS KICK RANGERS ASS

Good stuff. Without seeing the whole thing, you can blame this on that little toilet bug Hollweg going back to last season. He started it, Simon is finishing it and others who weren't really involved have to suffer for it.
