Goalie Fight! Rick DiPietro Fights Al Montoya


Supposedly, there's some hockey league that is starting regular season play sometime soon.

In last night's completely meaningless preseason matchup between the New York Islanders and New York Rangers, Islanders goalie Rick DiPietro fought Rangers goalie Al Montoya.

DiPietro entered a skirmish between other players, then Montoya skated down to that end of the ice, proclaimed "My name is Al Montoya, you fight my players, prepare to die!," then (very) slowly proceeded to remove his equipment and fight.

Islanders management must have been thrilled that their 15 year, $67.5 million investment was fighting a guy who has never played in a real NHL game.

Meaningless or not this is classic.  C'mon, who the hell watches hockey that doesn't appreciate this kind of action. I love it. Don't get me wrong, I live in Pittsburgh and watching Sid is great enough, but this is downright entertaining. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come for the season.

Oh, yeah, I love goalie fights too. I hope you didn't think that by saying it was "meaningless", I didn't enjoy it. I think it's right up there with 2 guys fighting in sumo suits.

Between the goals & the fights, hockey is the perfect sport for Youtube. I will always post a good goalie fight.

Not at all. I just meant the game might have been meaningless to us, but not to them.
