Ray v. Domi | Beyond Blue And Gold | Buffalo Sabres

[@darthwhaler]

This was absolutely fantastic. I swear there was a game when Domi was mic'd up, and Rayzor asked if he could say Hi to his mom. He leaned in to Domi's sweater, said, "Hi, ma. Love you." Then they immediately fought. I wish that clip had made it into the video.

Ya unfortunately the game is a far cry from what it used to be in the 90s

[@miketremblay1713]

I remember when i was on a flight in 1991 from Edmonton to LA and the NY Rangers were on board. I was sitting next to Randy Gilhen and i saw Domi standing up in the aisle in front of me talking to Mike Gartner and Sergei Nemchinov. I remember Domi had on a cowboy hat and a big smile and noticed his knuckles were full of scabs and looked like his hands went thru a meat grinder. I asked Randy Gilhen if he would mind signing his autograph for my nephew who was a big Rangers fan and he actually said sure and would pass it on to the team. He then gave it to Tie Domi and he had everyone sign it except 'Moose' because Messier was sleeping and didn't dare to wake him. Anyways, thanks to Randy Gilhen and Tie Domi for going out of their way to please a young fan🙏.

[@jimmybobby1652]

[@REGIS0717]

Probert, Ray and Domi the nhl won’t be the same without the 3 of them. Great fighters and class acts off the ice. RIP Probie

[@tripsaplenty1227]

Bob Probert was a lot of things but class act off the ice was not one of them.

[@incumbentvinyl9291]

You obviously know nothing about Probert's life outside the ice with ignorant comments like that. For the record, I think he was a kind hearted fellow, but certainly a very troubled individual who ended up making very bad decisions, and also committing various crimes. Probie was most definitely not a class act off the ice.

[@ToddCrispies]

I was on the visitors blue line at Marine Midland arena when I was like 15 and I had a Hawk sweater on and Probert waved to me during warm ups. That was the best thing about the whole game for me. Bob was a great dude. Don't judge him for the mistakes he made. Im sure you have made some mistakes but we won't ever know about them because you aren't the most well known enforcer of all time. Show some respect to the man and his family. He died very tragically.

[@incumbentvinyl9291]

@@ToddCrispies ''Don't judge him for the mistakes he made'' I find this an odd thing to say in a general sense. Why should an individual not be judged for their mistakes, especially when we're talking about a decades long list of misbehaviour and criminal activity? We are after all, talking about someone who served time in prison. That's not exactly a good fellow who strayed off the path slightly and erred a couple of times. Perhaps you're the kind of person that considers drunk driving, drug addiction and adultery acceptable behaviour. I most certainly do not. I can not comprehend why we'd want to pretend these things didn't happen. I have the outmost respect for Probert and the career he had in the NHL. However, that doesn't make me blind to the truth. Probert wasn't one of the ''good guys'', far from it. An additional note. The irony in astounding when you say we should respect his family, when he failed to respect his family himself. Frankly, I think you're embarrassing yourself.

Fantastic blast from the past! Talk about absolute warriors! These boys kept the game a lot safer. Respect!

[@bobabooey4537]

This was excellent to see. I miss old school NHL hockey very much. Watching this makes me wonder where the time has gone. I am 50 now, grew up watching 80's hockey into the 90's and so on. The game has changed so much and I really do miss it, its sad that its forever gone. Its just not the same game anymore.

[@Boxingbear]

It really isn't. My enthusiasm for hockey has really waned over the years. Watching this made me realize why. And it is not just about fighting, it is the energy and tension that just doesn't seem to be there anymore. Too many teams, no Coach's Corner to look forward to anymore. I will always love the game of hockey but the NHL sure isn't the same and we were lucky to have lived through the greatest era of hockey.

[@MacNur-tu3cq]

Yup 90s early 00s were my fave. I don't watch the game now or follow it. I was at bar other night game was on and it was first time in decade watching and what a snooze fest. Then tonight Leafs flyers 2003 game 7 came up on KZbin and the difference is depressing. Way more physical but also better skating and agility imo. Then the fact they finished their checks and refs were not tight asses. Goalies were more fun to watch and more physical and obviously could play pick more. Game just ain't the same. Now it's all about tweets and rainbow tape.

[@MacNur-tu3cq]

@94champs I'd rather have the pace xnd culture of the game the way it was in 80s, 90s and early aughts. Stevens was beast. Lots of tough mfers back then. The players were just different breed back then. They partied harder, hit harder, and didn't have social media to rot their egos and brains. Just watching that flyers leaf game from 03 just led me down rabbit hole of all the great names and games. It really was a better sport and the culture was way better. Hockey was the last stand of badassery in pro sports but now it is falling to the all inclusive soft pc environment. Not to mention guys were still valuable in their later years and still were stars. Now it seems league full of young guys with silver spoons.

[@Odoylepainting]

Rob Ray is the nicest man. My mother worked at lakeshore hockey rink back in the 80s when Rob played for the amerks. I traded him a "give blood, play hockey" shirt for a stick. So cool

[@paulopaulo306]

Wow, this just popped up on my feed and I'm so glad to have taken the time to watch it. Having played against both of these guys and knowing the two of them on and off the ice. It made me laugh and get emotional over the nature of the game of hockey and the era that I played. They did there job, love them or hate them but that was a big part of the game. I was always grateful for the police men I played with, great careers well earned with all kinds of respect. See you around.

I had a great hockey coach throughout my youth that played with Domi for the Peterborough Pete's. He always told us stories about Domi and how he was a great guy. My coach was a goalie that respected the game just as much as anyone. So his words were always were held in high regard.

No better time than after a dirty play when the crowd would start chanting "Ray! Ray! Ray! Ray!" and then Lindy would finally put him on the ice and the crowd would explode.
