On this day in 1996, Ron Hextall and Felix Potvin squared off in Philly #Leafs365 #FueledByPhilly #LeafsForever
@mikecommito Ronnie skated in there with conviction figuring things would be easy and realized he was in a situation pretty quickly
@mikecommito The best part of this is how everyone else stopped their scrum and just watched.
@mikecommito @GoalieHistory The best is seeing the other players stop their fights, and just watch this madness.
@mikecommito Squared off.. you mean on this day in 96 Felix pummelled Ron Hextall
@mikecommito Ya Hextall got him with "one". And that was it. Potvin won a clear decision.
@mikecommito Anyone who says the game is better off without stuff like this is just crazy. This was hockey
@mikecommito The best part:
@mikecommito On this day, Felix Potvin fed Ron Hextall a series of muffins straight out of the box.
@mikecommito I love how all the other fights stopped to watch the goalie fight 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@mikecommito This era of hockey was fun to watch. This is why I had my daughter watch Hextall highlight reels instead of Sesame Street when she was a toddler. People now would have a meltdown over just his “unique crease clearing techniques”, they would stroke out over everything else. ❤️him
@mikecommito @GoalieHistory Biggest mistake of Ron’s great career was skating to the others end that night… 👊🏻
@mikecommito @nms92623 IMO, the best part is that all of the other players stopped fighting and were like”Yo, check it out Bro, the f’n goalies are fighting” 😂 🥅
@mikecommito How do you clip this without the part where Domi mocks Hextall from the bench, so good
@mikecommito Hextall thought he wold have a easy time with Potvin, boy was he wrong. Lol
@mikecommito Potvin was never afraid to fight... let's not forget this nugget that Kings fans will never forget: youtube.com/watch?v=0A8-JA…
@mikecommito Those guys were GASSED by the end of that thing 😂
@mikecommito Incredible. I was only 7 years old loved every minute of this!!
@mikecommito Hextall had quite possibly the shortest fuse in NHL history. He had some all-time spazzes.
@mikecommito By the speed Hextall was skating he though he was this mild mannered guy ...
@mikecommito And the cat pounced…
@mikecommito I remember watching this game and totally enjoying it. Felix just clocked Hextall and dominated that fight.
@mikecommito I love how they just let them go and go and go...
@mikecommito Gotta love the homer Philly announcers. Felix would not have it
@mikecommito LMAO, everyone stops fighting to watch the goalies fight 🤣
@mikecommito I loved watching that. Hextall got more than he bargained for from The Cat.
@mikecommito I remember it like yesterday, I could have ran through a bank vault door after watching it. Hextal was the 🐐 #beefcake nation
@mikecommito The 🐈 feeding Hextall his lunch! So awesome! #LeafsForever
@mikecommito The same weekend, Evander Holyfield upset Mike Tyson, but Potvin stole the show ;)
