Felix Potvin (Toronto Maple Leafs) vs Ron Hextall (Philadelphia Flyers) fight
The best goalie fight in the history of NHL from 1996 https://www.facebook.com/pages/NHL-Fights/587895761221415?ref=hl Check out this page for more NHL Fights
I was 11 and i remember this was on "NHL today" (i think it was called that) here in Finland, I was and still am a big Potvin and Leafs fan. Good times…
Whats up with this super biased Candian comment section? 😂😂😂. Theres NO possible way you could think Potvin won this fight. He barely landed anything the entire time. Hextall is the goat at this 💩
“I did pretty good, but there was no judge to tell who won and lost,” Potvin said. "The only reason people say I whooped Hexxy's Ass is because He was the type of Love or Hate type player back then." "And it was pretty light on the Love side unless you were from Philly."" I will say this, I wasn't thrilled when he was coming down full speed". But we laugh like hell about it now. "He always says I'm surprised you didn't kill me after I skated 180 feet I was shot" "Helluva Goaltender, And just a great dude. I'm glad we can laugh about it now"

lol I remember this happened on my birthday. I got home from dinner with my family turned the game on and all hell broke loose.
It's not often goalies have a fight so if you're lucky to see one in person as a player even if you're fighting. You're gonna stop and watch too.
who won this fight? that's something I'm trying to figure out
The most interesting thing is that Hextall got his ass handed to him
When Felix Potvin saw Ron Hextall skating towards him, the Cat was probably thinking "It's go-time."
Potvin wom
Old time hockey baby!!! Unlike the snowflake pansy wimp of a game that's played today.
Fuck did potvin ever smoke him when he got the jersey over his head
poor felix didn’t wanna stay and get his ass beat some more😂
Potvin destroyed Hextall in this fight
Every game should have an optional goalie fight at the end.
Potvin was lucky to catch Hextall past his prime because in his hey day Hextall was a beast. He would’ve destroyed him.
Hockey 🏒 = 🔥
Hextall most overrated goalie ever. Barely passable.
Everyone on the ice is like wtf is happening??
Hextall is a useless tool…. so funny to see a moron try and jump another guy and then end up with a few hits to the bald spot for his stupidity.
Potvin was bigger than most people realize. his low crouch made him seem smaller when he played.
nothing will ever touch the nostalgic magic of old NHL
Just listen to that crowd!
POTVIN! All the way!
Hextall was punching air, Felix landed nearly every shot. Homer announcers must have been drunk
29 PIMs for Hextall right here. He had 43 on the season.
People talk about how Potvin won this fight. I don't see it. This fight was a draw if nothing else.
You’re a 🤡 for thinking this.
All The Players Just Watching 😊
Almost every other sport: “oh, this is horrible! This is a disgrace! We need security in here!”
Hockey: “we have rock em, sock em goaltenders!” “What an end to a game!”
Canadian frogs are the toughest frogs

Was / is it an unwritten rule in hockey that goalies can only fight other goalies?
Qué pinche sexy 😅
I love how all the players stopped to watch
😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉
Until the flyers goalie skated up
This is one of my top 5 leafs memories
