"If you're gonna start something, you should at least stand up and follow through"… Wow! This should be a standard work ethic for people of any trades, any professions at all. Good philosophy, Billy!
My mother told me she baby sat Billy and his brother Gordie(Washington Caps D man),but just couple of times,because the brothers were always fighting…so it started young.(Perth Ont.)
Back when men were men. You finish what you started, and left it out on the ice. Players policed themselves. Now it's babies and whiners in a game so soft it's boring as hell.
Love him or hate him… the man was a legend… all those Stanley Cups… he was a big part of a Dynasty. As a Leaf fan, I hated him but respected what he did. That's just the way hockey is. God bless both those legends.

Two beauties!
How do you trade a heart and soul player like Lanny McDonald. Stupid Leafs.
"If you're gonna start something, you should at least stand up and follow through". Gotta respect that!!!
Ranger fan but I always loved Billy Smith. Talk about a solid guy.
Lanny! Billy!!! Greats!

Pertnear put Ruff's eye out, though.
Smith was a great goalie but dirty as they come with that stick..
almost hilarious comments from both lads…
Great old guys.
You gotta admire Billy for being humble and admitting that he lost
Lanny and Billy are both Legends. Hockey is awesome, no sport produces more class.
glad you beat Billy, way to go Lanny!!
Love to see how many games Smith would manage in the NHL now with video technology. Banned for most of his first season then slung out of the game
Comforting to know such humble, old-school warriors are still among us, these definitive "men." 💪🏻
you gotta love these guys. hockey has such a great history
