Fights that should have happened - No excuses!
I am sick and tired of listening to people who lament the fact that certain fighters were either friends, distant cousins, or just flat-out respected another fighter, as reasons for not fighting. Indians not fighting Indians – for Pete’s sake they used to scalp each other back in the day and Odjick and Simon or McCarthy have an agreement? I will say this about today’s players this un-written thing about friends not fighting does not seem to affect them – as they will fight anything that comes in-between their team and its health and welfare

Its kinda like Romney saying that Obumma is a nice guy – instead of knocking his block off

Domi s Twist, Wilson vs Brown,
Gillies vs. Fotiu, Clarke vs. Kocur,
Domi vs. Kocur, Domi vs. Clarke

Thats just enough to get started:

I think that if the i brothers, Sutter and Primeau brothers, and whatever other brother combos fought, then there is 0 excuses for the rest of these guys who are supposed to be able to lay all that aside for the team. 0 excuses!

Twist vs. Brashear

Some guys wer just buds and wouldn't fight each other unless absolutely necessary and even then.....

Maybe we'd like it to have happened but sometimes it just doesn't. What can you do?

Probert vs. Odjick, Kocur vs. Brown

In 1974/75 we saw Schultz fight Rick Middleton and John Bednarski but he never looked for Bert Wilson. Wilson was seen cutting Ted Harris open in Philly!

Ray always ducked Probie, no surprise.

why? does not make any sense! He fights, Kocur, Brown, Twist, (for better or for worse) ---- don't buy it. Probie was beaten probably more so than any of the above mentioned - No, it makes no sense that Ray feared Probie, zilch - nado!

Probert was in his head.

Srehm - thanks for that. Pretty entertaining - hey! looks like Kocur might have had enuff with the takedown. Good fight - Never saw that before

it's weird, Probie never fought Ray, Barnaby, May or even Donnelly, not in Sabres jersey nor any other.

I think Ray ducked Probie early in his career. In a game at the Joe in 93' Probert chased Ray around for two straight shifts, Ray found a willing dance partner in Carkner, got the jump on him and got a flash knockdown. Probert was incensed, went after him, had to be held, etc...

Later in their careers, not so sure, maybe they just never met up? Probert on Chicago was really only going with Top 10 guys for the most part, he had ALOT of help to handle anyone else at the time (Simpson, Russell, Ciccone, Cummins, etc..)

Always been the one that stuck in my head though, Ray obviously ducked him early in his career.

It sucks Orr seemed so hesitant. Now that he's stuck in the minors it will probably never happen.
