Per request, here’s the famous line brawl back in 1996 between the Flyers and Sabres in the best quality I could get a hold of.
Barnaby’s most infamous clash with the Orange and Black came back in his days playing with the Buffalo Sabres. Barnaby was being his usual irritant self, trying to block Flyers goalie Garth Snow from the net, when Flyers enforcer Shawn Antoski came over to push him out of the way, delivering him a fairly brutal cross-check to the neck before getting decked himself. A brawl ensued, with Barnaby laying on the ice, supposedly knocked out of commission by the the cross-check. But then while being attended to by the Sabres medic, Barnaby sprang to life and jumped Snow, delivering several body blows before Flyers winger Rod Brind’Amour jumped on him, who was in turn pummeled by Sabres goalie Andre Trefilov.
The scrum continued on for several minutes, and before all was said and done, three players from each side were boxed, with a combined 13 penalties being assessed, and with Barnaby, Antoski, Brind’Amour and the Sabres’ Brad May all getting tossed.

Andre Trifalov's big moment to shine.
Barnaby was a little BICTH. Just got arrested for choking a bouncer
1.) Rick Jeanneret could have just as easily been a boxing announcer
2.) I remember seeing this on live TV when I was 10 years old, and I can't believe the NHL used to be this fun to watch
A true classic…best announcers too.
Barnababy
What a tough team Buffalo had back then. Ray, May, Bougner, and Barnaby would take on anyone.
Who is this announcer? He is awesome!
I miss 90’s hockey
Hockey died when Barnaby retired.
UFC?
Flyers are like the Muslim extremists. They always need each other to help 'fight' someone.
We need players to police the game, none of this instigating penalty crap
One of Rick Jeanneret's finest calls, thank you Rick for 51 great years as the voice of the Sabres
LOL Snow got his ass kicked by everyone for no reason. Hilarious fight
Who won the game?
1:15 one of the most badass moments I’ve ever fucking seen let’s gooooo
Barnaby laying down and then springing up and raining down hell fire will never not be funny to me
Barnaby clearly wasn't that hurt.
"This is like a r ring circus" 🤣🤣🤣
Matt the Rat!!!
Trefilov had to be a wrestler growing up. What a beast.
This is a great fight but the fact that you can hear barnaby’s punches makes it 100 times better
God I miss hockey like this. Just so much emotions. Todays hockey is so more tame.
Brind amour lol humped Barbaby the entire fight. If you dont want to fight Rod get lost
Faking it !!!.
"This is like a 3 ring circus!!!"
Buffalo.. trashy teams/players/city then, now and forever. NYC loser cousin!!
Miss this wild type of hockey.
Looking back on it, the future will see an NHL GM (Snow), 2 head coaches (Boughner and Brind'Amour) and an assistant coach (Derek Plante) on the ice in that melee.
