Chris Simon’s two-hander on Ryan Hollweg after Hollweg’s hit on Simon from the Rangers at Islanders game on Mar 8, 2007. via http://www.hockeyfights.com
Now compared to Mcsorley slashing Brashear, this was clearly intentional. However, if it were in the eyes of the Boston Bruins’ commentators, they would say “Nah, this wasn’t intentional. It’s a clean play.”
Us as native Indians have a sleeping beast in us that will emerge at times..say whatever you want about Simon but he'll still destroy people on the ice in any fight.
Back in the day (70's) this would've been a two minute high sticking penalty. Because it's Simon we'll make a big deal out of it. Gary Bettman and his woke crew ruined the sport.
I was watching this game at home in my bedroom doing my homework. I was in High School and I took my eyes off the TV for a second and heard Sam Rosen's reaction. I looked back at the TV and caught the brawl. When I first saw the replay I feared Hollweg might've been dead
This is perfect example of instant karma. Hollweg drills Simon from behind into the boards and what do you expect Simon going to do? I see nothing wrong with what Simon did to Hollweg who is a dirty cheap shot hitter.
Old time hockey. 👍 aka the “battleaxe lumberjack” treatment. Rarely and seldom utilized only in extreme circumstances. Used it a few times myself usually resulting in a TKO or substantial chiclet reduction. Threat eliminated. Best advice: Always keep your head up at all times on ice.
Proven, old, tactic to effectively immobilize an opponent. Nice work 👍
Gotta love when Simon stands up for himself getting checked into the boards numbers first. Give a dirty play, get a dirty play. Refs fault for not calling a call on the initial play, Hollweg deserved it lol.
Even as a Ranger fan, i kinda felt bad for Simon. His career was marred with alcohol. The isles coach , Ted something was also native Canadian and he did hid best to look after Chris. I hope hes ok today

Islanders scum. First the 2 hand to the face by simon. Then, the isles fans chanting a**hole to hollweg. What a joke
That wasn’t even as bad as when he kicked out a players legs
To quote the great Don Cherry …."you mess with the bull"……
Fuck the Rags
Fuck Hollweg. He boarded Simon from behind and the chief gave him exactly what he deserved.
Chris Simon is a family friend to me

How hollweg took that so well I have no idea. When I saw this I was like holy fuck man.
Chris Simon Was Given A Match Penalty For Attempt To Injure & Was Suspended For 25 Games.
The way he pushes his stick away after he's down is amazing
so the steve more incident is criminal and this isn’t. AS AN ISLANDERS FAN, i think he should be kicked out of the league and charged with assault.
Chris Simon had a few screws loose.
They keep saying it’s up high like they are scared to say he hit a guy in the face with a stick lol family show, I understand
Commit 5 minute boarding penalty and get away with it, player retaliates, announcers act all surprised.
March 8th is just NOT a good day for getting hit – same date as bertuzzi hit moore 3yrs earlier
LOL, Uncultured Douchebag Goons aimlessly fighting over basically nothing. 😅😅😆😆😄😄😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

0:21 no trainer coming on the ice???

“He might get 5 minutes” 🤣 wtf 🤬??
as an islanders fan, simon shouldve got suspended for longer
we're meeting in the parking lot after that
clean hit
happy 16th anniversary babe
I love the rough stuff, but that's the kind of stuff that has no place in the game.
Hollweg was a lowlife piece of trash. I applaud Simon here . One of my favorites
How was that a clean hit
Today's nhl should be compared to men's soccer. Soft
How many times do those fucking stupid commentators need to see a replay before they can understand what happened??
It took him 4 fucking views to realize that he him in the mouth?? What the fuck is he being paid for?
Hele!!!! Zmeteg holweg na zemi!!!!! Dobře dobře dobře. Ochutnal svoji medicínu parchant.
Isles fan. Never wanted him on the team. I was so happy when they dumped him. What a scumbag.

My wife’s first hockey game. “Does that happen every game?!!@ 😂
Good hit? What is he smoking?
He hit him right in the numbers, that's obviously two minutes for boarding.
Love it! Great slash. Hollweg's hit was 10× more dangerous (blindside, from behind, into the boards).
Well deserved

15 years later and this is still the appropriate reaction. The only person who should've been suspended was the ref not protecting the players.
Even as a Ranger fan, i kinda felt bad for Simon. His career was marred with alcohol. The isles coach , Ted something was also native Canadian and he did hid best to look after Chris. I hope hes ok today
