Todd Gill fights Darryl Sydor after he disrespects Gilmour

[@OneEyedKeys]

Gill was under-rated. Good fighter, had a great hard low shot from the point. Not a top 2 D on a Stanley Cup team, but certainly a solid NHL depth D with a respectable career who could have played on any team anytime during his day. Can't say that about everybody.

[@cavdragoon]

100 percent agree. Gill was a solid D man

[@Boxingbear]

Gill was mocked early in his career but as he matured he became a solid blueliner who could hold his own. Met him once in Toronto and he was a really nice guy.

[@forechecker2263]

Todd Gill was often underestimated but got the better of many a larger opponent in his career.He was a skillful fighter who threw with both hands and was fearless while protecting his team.A real old school hockey player.

[@AndrewsArchives]

Its actually hilarious how Gill just glides in there, all casual like, and just starts shit up again

[@liveclassictunes]

and more hilarious how he beat the shit out of Sydor...

[@soupyfly1]

Gill so smooth reaches back 2 make sure the tie down was hooked in..Then ya you know the rest of story lol atta boy

[@mikespark72]

ah, the good ole days of hockey. This era was my fav as a Leaf fan, I still have that awesome poster in which the team were dressed up as doctors and nurses and such. What an awesome team photo!

[@brianfantana8510]

And the announcers quoting Shakespeare. Would could be better?

[@bobabooey4537]

I appreciate Todd Gill a lot more as a grown man than I did when younger, more naive. I miss this Toronto Maple Leafs hockey... I miss the old NHL a lot.

[@eyeswideopen67]

I'm a leaf fan in 20/20 so I have to look at old clips of the leafs if I want to see any toughness.

[@Wayne_155]

I feel your pain Paul. I'm hoping the acquisition of Thornton, Simmonds and Bogosian make a difference in the young Leafs attitudes

[@raymondchan3618]

Thanks for making me laugh.

[@gdavies4]

@@Wayne_155 they are helping. I can't wait to get Wayne train back. So nice to have some protection for the smol boys.

[@Wayne_155]

@@gdavies4 He's definitely a guy that's gonna be missed for the next 5 weeks

[@gdavies4]

I wish the little leafs could have protection like this today

[@liveclassictunes]

so true... they could use it.

[@raymondchan3618]

I wish NHL would play like this these days.

[@PianoMoverSmith1]

Gill gave Sydor two fights. He beat him with his right then the left. I loved Todd Gill as a kid. A great team guy. Could contribute in all ways and was always there for the boys. Liked how Domi was also circling towards Sydor but had an official on him so Gill was left alone and able to get in. Not like everyone didn’t know who Todd effing Gill was. He throws

[@christopherpittard1974]

Always had mad respect for Todd Gill. Wasn't flashy but always got the job done and was fearless when it came to an opponent when it came time to a fight. wish we had more of that on the leafs for the last 10 years.

[@liveclassictunes]

beautiful job by Gill... he taught Sydor a very good lesson.

[@michaelroberts104]

Todd would be a 2, 3 Dman on the present Leaf team. The rest of the present day Leafs would play bigger knowing that they had a player with his heart backing them up.

[@strigoi5890]

Gill was underrated in many aspects

[@christrudell7966]

Didn't happen often, but nice to see Sundin in there

[@jacknone1564]

Todd Gill was a perfect No. 5 defenceman. Not perfect, but took care of his crease and an off the glass and out kind if defender. Could throw down if he had too, and was effective at it. Same with Jamie Macoun. Perfect 3rd defence pair.

[@Mohipya]

Excellent example of a true teammate right there ladies & gents. Gill was always sticking up for the boys. #23 was a bad dude who could throw with both hands 👊👊 just mangled Sydor.

[@DeathWish1974]

Todd Gill made mistakes but he was a good teammate

[@gabegood8989]

Sydor in a turtle again 5 videos into my rabbit hole dive tonight started with Dallas vs Ducks with Sydor in a turtle in all 5 vids

[@JustineC86]

Take that sentence back!!!

[@anthonysitler7591]

SYDOR SHOULDNT SHOOT OFF WHEN HE FIGHTS LIKE A OLD WOMAN

[@dd5921]

That’s what’s needed today in hockey--you want to act like a tough punk, you’re going to get an ass whuppin!! This separates the men from the boys and you don’t go disrespecting a teams captain without paying a price.

[@PianoMoverSmith1]

Macoun, a vet and a tough, was assessing the situation the whole time. He knew he had Domi and Gill on the ice with him. He sees Gills taking care of it and he neutralizes Hatcher. Refs take Domi out of it

[@man-bagdammit2297]

Gill took alot of abuse by stupid Leafs fans in Toronto, but he was a heart a soul hockey player who always stuck up for his teammates. He wasn't all that big either, his teammates loved having him on the team. The Maple Leafs today could use a Todd Gill on their blue line.

[@80travisbickle]

Gill was a tough middleweight. Gill vs Rypien in their primes would have been something.

[@michaelhill8244]

GILL WAS A GREAT TEAMMATE. HE STOOD UP FOR HIS BROTHERS.

[@Battlemaddlio]

I never respected Todd gill until I saw this video. He's the man

[@spietroify]

Ahh the good ol' days. Today's players are all softer than a spunk-filled kleenex. Literally anyone can do literally anything these days, and the only consequences are maybe someone will slap them or shed tears on them. Here Sydor did something slightly disrespectful, someone came to defend Gilmour, Sydor stood in there and everyone moves on. The way it should be.

[@pags8591]

Lmao..hilarious..true

[@Musicrecords10]

Why did Gilmour bother starting any shit when he knew his goons would answer the bell for him?

[@jessewahwah]

You answered your own question.

[@Jokerlevin]

Why do Sydor keep insisting on acting tough? Hes a punching bag?

[@Musicrecords10]

I've yet to see a Leafs brawl where Gill didn't fight someone.. what a goof, fighting was like a drug addiction for him

[@chongqinger]

A fight and Shakespeare, what can be better )

[@pags8591]

Gill what a dude! I remember seeing Grant Marshall killing domi...can't find the fight looking for it..dropped him and dominate missed a few games.

[@oneidawolf776]

Sydor got what he deserved. He's not so tough after all.

[@eisenpferd4975]

Atta boy Gill. Way to kick Sydor's ass.

[@dennis8309]

The way it should be done. Unlike when Alfredson hit Tucker from behind, and nobody did a thing. Sad, especially knowing Tucker would help every and any teammate...

Destroyed. :)

Eh, kind of cheap.

baahahahahahaaaaa!!!!

[@HeGuyo]

Prob wants fighting banned. Likes the instigator rule. Summers at parents cottage.

[@robertfloyd3081]

Very cheap. Sydor is trying to put his jersey on and dipshit just came over and starting punching him.

[@glennokeefe7336]

Another example of Gilmore stirring the pot only to have someone (usually Clark ) come to his rescue

[@aok4418]

Gilmour was tough as nails. He took cheap shots all the time.

[@sixclocks]

gill should have let the phony tough gilmour fight his own battle. but gilmore is too cowardly to do that. phony tough.

[@d.r8425]

Gilmour was always a wimp. Did he ever fight?

[@davidsuarez3003]

@@d.r8425 I think he fought his babysitter when he was in St. Louis.

[@andyhedin9947]

Gilmore was such a wuss. The Matthew Tkachuk of his time. Stir it up, turtle, skate away and let someone else fight your fights.

[@aok4418]

You obviously don't know what you're talking about.

back when the leafs had decent teams
