Since there seems to be no home for us Old Tyme Hockey Fans to stretch out our tired ass legs and relax, I made this thread up....
I played some in the ECHL back in the 80's and 90's, mostly preseason and practice squad stuff... I was a goon... A slow goon with an OK slapshot....
Anyways, my hero was Bob Nystrom, and still is to this day... I grew up on Long Island with that man involved in my life... I was a stickboy for the Isles in the late 70's, and he was The Man...
Im a big fan of Old Tyme Hockey, and own 2 copies of the movie Slap Shot... Now let the fun begin and post what u want... I got loads of stuff...
Vid CLip is Scott Parker and his big right hand verses Oliwa...

Hey, you got Nicky Fotiu there - he's from my old neighborhood. One time he approached a bunch of us while we were playing roller hockey. He Gave me a set of gloves and 4 sticks. Great guy, terrific fighter!

Dude, u wouldnt happen to still have those gloves do ya???
I knew Nick was from Staten... He was one of the most feared pugilists the sport has ever seen.... I think I got a clip where he and Marty McSorely wanna go at it, and they just dance around, never throwing a punch....
Story was that Marty was talking sh!t the night before and Fotiu said for Marty to make his move...
Marty didnt...
Yea I got it heres the clip and a pic I had of Mel Bridgman and Nick...

I was at a Kings vs Redwings game in 1987, before the Gretzky era when tickets up close were affordable.
I remember one of those guys got into a fight with a Kings defenseman and one of those guys got a tooth knocked out. Saw it leave his mouth and hit the ice. He grinned and then punched the crap out of the Kings guy.
I never laughed so hard!!!!
