@mikecommito Watch all the other combatants stop their scraps to see this spectacle. Hextall had no idea Potvin could fight, coming from a family of Quebec minor league rogues.

@mikecommito Goalie fights are so awesome that even the other fights stopped so they could watch.

@mikecommito Imagine if this happened today, all of society would be in an outrage that hockey is too violent.

@mikecommito and Potvin kicked his ass. Would've been nice if this clip showed Hextall's bloody face after this fight.

@mikecommito Hextall got much much more than he bargained for, and deserved it! The only time I've cheered an @MapleLeafs win since they last won the Cup in 1967....(I was young and stupid.)

@mikecommito Imagine skating all the way down the ice just to get your ass kicked! Way to go, Felix, the cat!

@mikecommito Don’t know fight etiquette in hockey, do the goalies usually start mask on? Kinda like the added challenge of having to get through that, get behind and you’re done, phase 10 with fists
