Riley Cote Could Care Less if You Can Fight Back
Mar 07, 2008 in Flyers
there’s nothing that makes me happier than a good hockey fight. i had the honor of being at flyers/penguins earlier this year when two hat tricks were scored. was that awesome in and of itself? of course. when the “where’s crosby?” start at the end of the game, did i get the giggles like a young homosexual watching american idol? you bet. but what really made that the best game ever was the amount of fights and glimmer of hope that a goalie fight was in the cards.last night against the tampa bay devil lightening, there were some fights and some throat slashing gestures and enough f bombs to make steve coates blush. and we won thanks to the new mike richards, jeff carter.but the moment that shall live on forever is the video above where riley cote lands a clean left that would make a klitschko brother proud. and yes, andre roy may have a right to be miffed that he only had one arm free, but i don’t see the marquis of queensbury lacing up his skates anytime soon. guess what, bro, it’s a fight not a square dance. if you’re not ready to fight, don’t just stand there like a douchebag. and maybe next time, don’t let the guy grab your jersey. have fun being suspended for the throat slashing gesture too genius.
