[@stevedrake604]

George McPhee and Rick Tocchet. That's as good as you get.

[@michaeljoseph8674]

I knew they would fight I was like 18 I took the train in to the city and bought a ticket hoping to see them go and they delivered lol

[@patriotpride16t]

Rick Tocchet was the epitome of a “5 Tool” (Baseball Term) Hockey Player! He can score He can pass He can hit He can fight He can back check 🎤 drop!

[@alschmidt8963]

Hanlon is a tough guy on the bench....chicken

[@shawnwhalen8314]

Crazy thing is if I remember Hatcher, Probert and Tocchet where on the same OHL team the Soo Greyhounds...talk about a team!

[@kasandrapurplekitten]

no they were not Hatcher never played in the Soo he played for North Bay Bobby's only year he played for the Soo was 84-85 (the best team never to win a Memorial Cup 33-0 on home ice ) after the Hamilton Trade. Tocchet's last year in the Soo was 83-84 the 84-85 season he was in Philly

[@kevinparker5557]

The dude was a fuckin' pit bull.

[@christoskaloudis8800]

I’m a ranger fan. George McPhee was my idle growing up in the mid 80ies. McPhee and Tocchet had many a brawls back then. Though I bleed red and blue, much respect to Rick Tocchet. He was a great player and even a greater fighter. One of the best of his era. Balls of steel for sure.

[@patrickkerin7854]

Epic Battles...McPhee took on all comers...I think they fought three times...Tochett put a shiner on McPhee, next battle McPhee opened him up good...

[@christoskaloudis8800]

@@patrickkerin7854 that is correct… 85/86 playoffs

[@patrickkerin7854]

@@christoskaloudis8800 yeah back in the day they called the Rangers The Smurfs...McPhee wiped that name out!!

[@christoskaloudis8800]

@@patrickkerin7854 - McPhee was a small man by stature but he had a heart of a lion. I had a relative who met him at a signing where you can meet some of the players and get their autographs ( of course I had a game that day and couldn’t go) but he said he shook McPhee’s hand his hands were like hammer heads… real strong guy for his size. Lotta good fights with the flyers. Though of course I hated the flyers I respected them. Behn Wilson, Dave Brown and Tochett were my favorite flyer fighters. Shultz was a little before my time but the flyers were always known to have good fighters. For the rangers barry beck in his prime was good (a lot of injuries) Nicky Fotiou was an amateur boxer, he was big and could throw them. What days those were. Early to mid 80ies. I think hockey started getting a little boring when the Europeans came over bc they played a different style game. Very skillful but not aggressive.

[@patrickkerin7854]

@@christoskaloudis8800 yeah loved Nick Fotiu from Staten Island...saw a video of him and he looks at peace from that temper he had...fun to watch!! I remember watching black and white Saturday game against flyers there was an icing call and I think Poulin skated up and put his arm around Dougay, couple seconds later Dougay snapped and took it to him good!! Rangers got some muscle with Hospodar and then front page of sports side showed Gillies punch that broke his jaw...Rangers then traded him to Philly and that was tough because I liked Hospodar. But it was Holmgren that got to me...he was menacing looking. He would skate with the blade of his stick turn downward and he looked like the Grim Reaper on Ice. Beck neutralized him every once in a while... Flyers had monsters... Rangers had Melynk, Laidlaw, Maloney, Ed Johnstone (heart) ... Toooooo many times I almost jumped through my little 13in black and white tv to help the Rangers fight these Flyer Goons...Lol!!!

[@guidovalenti4986]

Rick Tocchett is a true Flyers ,

[@jcg2922]

Great fighter. Fast, switch-hitter, and nasty. Also Tocchet was as sturdy as they came. He only ever got knocked off his skates by Kris King and Joe Kocur, two guys who threw big bombs. Though Kocur seemed to knock him over more than really tag him with a punch.

[@trollslayergaming]

Surprised he lasted so long in the nhl considering how much coke he did.

[@jdbankshot]

a pro athlete doing coke in the 80's?? no way, never, not possible.

[@corndog4766]

Where would you guys rank Tocchet on the list of power forwards for scoring, hitting and fighting? Here’s my tentative list. 1)Howe 2)Gillies 3)Clark 4)Tocchet 5)Neely Honorable mention to Shanahan

[@LetsGoFlyers2011]

Even though he didn't last long, I'd have to put Lindros in there. When he was healthy, he was the best.

[@Livingforwhat]

Do a video for "Chief" Berube was my fav as a kid

[@kellismith4329]

I remember when he rocked Baxter, who just turtled on him Baxter was a fraud

[@benjaminmatte5225]

About 17:00, very well done boys, good scrap

[@stevedrake604]

The 19 other guys on the Flames bench HAD to be embarrassed by Baxter's act.

[@neilm2794]

I wonder how the Rangers players felt with that idiot Hanlon whooping it up, while Mike Keenan has Dave Brown and Dave Richter sitting right in front of him ready to go out there at the next faceoff.

[@Jesse-f4e6s]

Got 1 right in the labonza lmao

[@Jesse-f4e6s]

I hate that Rangers Hamlet

[@47tooter]

Rick probably holds the record for the most instigator penalties of all-time. All of his fights were Jumps.

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

A lot of Flyer devotees, in Woodstock Ontario ...I was friends with a # of them ...we had some good times ...I miss them 😎🍁🏒

[@Shadowmick]

yes !

[@christoskaloudis8800]

Adda boy Georgie! #21 💪

[@tpatrick6902]

Tocchet fought everyone to the death. His adrenaline would pop and he'd forget he was playing hockey. It became a street fight for survival. I think he'd be just as dangerous off the ice with that disposition. Cranky guy.

[@47tooter]

He had a terrible attitude, The guy was an ass-hole. When he played for the Bruins he was a jerk to the Brass and they quickly got rid of him. He fights Neely on the video but it doesn't show Tocchett attacking Neely for a clean body check to another player. A total jump.

[@47tooter]

Never like him, He always played dirty and cheap. He was a bully and a jumper.

[@55Porter]

Tocchet was more of a Penguin than he ever was a Flyer and he's said that numerous times.

[@mygirlpiper]

55Porter That's not true, before Tochett joined the Penguins staff he worked for the tv. Flyers post game show as a analysis and has said at heart he is a Philadelphia Flyer, the team that drafted him with whom he identifies the most but at the same time he felt grateful to join the early nineties strong Pittsburgh team and Win, also he met his wife in Pittsburgh. So there is strong ties to both city's, but his Allegiance at heart belongs to Philly The Team That Drafted Him, it's a split decision but edge goes to The Flyers. " Dam auto spell TOCCHET."

[@tonygambino5905]

When did he say that? Cite your source.

[@LC-ht7sg]

haha good one.

[@dondavis7687]

Tocchet once told a friend of a cousin of an uncle of a 3rd cousin removed from Europe of a relative of Tocchet’s Atom teammates mum’s Bridge game partner that Phoenix was actually his favorite place he called home during his playing days!

[@robertbeck2604]

Poor man's Brendan Shanahan. But In loved the guy.
