When he arrived and destroyed Tie Domi it pretty much ended Domi as a fighter and turned the battle of Ontario in Ottawa's favour. If memory serves Ottawa won 6-1 that night.
McGrattan was always a beast. I’m a Rangers fan, and he always had great tilts with Colton Orr when he was in NY. But, I have to say, I think McGrattan was a bit sloppier in his earlier years in Ottawa. He turned into a nearly invincible wrecking ball in his later years in Calgary. I think the confidence he had in his sobriety played a big role.
@@johngallagher72 Legendary Tie Domi is much higher on the alltime tough guy list from the NHL.Nobody ended Tie as a fighter, not sure how much you watched NHL hockey lol.
@@bobabooey4537 father time catches up to us all ...McGratten smoked Domi in their first fight. In all fairness Tie was near the end of his run and wasn't the same after the fight . I liked Domi as much as anyone ...but you were saying ... czcams.com/video/bvqRj6Z2raA/video.htmlsi=8b19SICyd3ovs6KX
I met Ryan at a club in St. Louis and I was like a kid meeting Santa Claus. He was greatly loved in St. Louis and we will never forget those years! Awesome dude!!
we seen him around here in wpg. we seem him in hooter. he seemed like an asshole to the people tryna meet him. i didnt really care to meet him lol he had that asshole vibe
Denny Lambert and Scottie Walker were my favorite in Nashville. They took ZERO on the shit-o-meter when they played for the Preds. They were just what a southern town needed to sell hockey tickets back then. Miss those guys, for sure!
Good times in Ottawa with McGratton.. love hearing all the retired veterans from other teams on podcasts nowadays saying that Ottawa was a team back then everybody was scared to play them because they were the toughest and most talented at that time.
The fights the public see's Big Ern in are a cake walk, he wins every single time. The possibility of him fighting the toughest ever, is up to him. Awesome gentleman.
That’s absolutely not true. He got relegated to a role player but in 2014-15 he was playing up in the blues lineup and creating some offense. Dude has way more skill than the old school enforcers of the past. Guy has earned a career in the NHL no doubt besides being a tough guy.
McGrattan bled easy bc he had a lot of scar tissue and way more fights against Legit heavyweights like Orr, Godardz MacIntyre, Boogaard, Belak, Laraque, Brash... Guys wayyy tougher than Reaves. Hilarious Reavo thinks he missed time bc he hurt him. Totally delusional
There is NO way that dude would have hung with Kocur. Most of those dudes from the 90's would have lit him up. Reaves is a tough guy in what is now a soft league.
People forget how many fights McGrattan had in AHL. I believe it’s a record… or penalty minutes? In AHL. Either way, Reaves only added to his concussion issues…McGrattan has dished out his fair share!!
Reaves' first 3 seasons or so were really fun to watch. There were still about 20 or so heavyweight enforcers in the league and Reaves held his own with most of them.
@@badmotorfinger9195 1) Reaves and Janssen played only 1 season together (Reaves’ rookie year). 2) I watched every game, and don’t recall even a single instance of Reaves ducking anyone when he was young. That was his only way to stay in the NHL. Not being able to find a willing combatant was his much bigger problem. But who exactly did he duck, and do you have any video evidence of it?
Hopefully Reeves dosent end up like Derek Boogaard Wade Belak Rick Rypien Chris Simon Bob Probert and a bunch of others who didnt realize fighting for money has long term consequences that are irreversable stop bragging Ryan one day your going to reget every single fight you had and wish you focused on being a good player!
Then The MTL sheriff came along … could not find enough excuses. Then fought nobody to prove himself he is done. That why he playing with leaf and mathew show my small captain in parking lots
George Laraque was a very unique tough guy. He had size and he was extremely strong. It was very hard to muscle him around. He could throw around big guys because of his strength. I’ve never seen him actually lose a fight. What gave him another advantage over other tough guys, is that he was left handed, so he caught lots of tough guys off guard.
People are coming down on Rempe like they did on this guy early in his career, Rempe is just a kid making more money then all the people complaining about him have and will have in their entire career, stop being jealous of a kid who is making more money then you ever will.
He won't fight lucic because he knows luc will man handle him like never before. Reeves don't belong in the same conversation as lucic. Luc is the last of the big boy enforcers.
Everyone say McGrattan won.. but that was clearly the passing of the torch. Reaves hit him with some big bombs.. while mcgrattan landed alot of lighter punches. It was more of an even fight to me.
@@SombreSnakePlissken those little love taps??? Lmao 🤣 I guess your sister beats you in a fight majority of the time?? Landing a bunch of weak shots. While one of your punches could take her head off.. lol 😆 mcgrattan was leaking out of his head! 😂
This is my favorite fight to revisit on YT. McGrattan's laxed acceptance of the scrap is awesome.
Loved McGratton in Ottawa. Guy was a monster.

The Ryan Reaves bobblehead for the Peoria Rivermen was actually a bobblefists. Look it up.
Reaves actually has quite a few fight losses, more than people think. A tough guy no question, but at 36, he is far from what he was.
He’d still smoke anyone in the league today, the league is much softer now than when he was young
Perfect for the Leafs!
@@christianseibert9953that didn’t age well after the xhekaj fight
@@wolfjaeger7 ….. that wasn’t a fight, that was a wrestling match, wifi took one punch from Reaves and decided he didn’t want to eat another

Loved McGratton when he was in Ottawa. He and Neil where the best
Yes!
Looks like he got his ass kicked he’s in a dreamland
McGratton won that fight
Is that why reaves said he didn't win..
Are you deaf? He admitted this
@@joeykhan4703 you are the one who is deaf. He admitted nothing. He tried to mitigate his loss . Like your teachers tried telling you, pay attention!
@@mroy88 Projecting much 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@BigCam.31 making no sense much?
That's bold to say on Reaves part..probably not Reaves, but nice to think so.

If ur referring to reaves as the toughest ever your absolutely insane
Dos buenos luchadores de la NHL.👊🏽👊🏽Mcgrattan y reaves 💪🏽💪🏽
It is shameful for Reaves to insinuate that he concussed Big Ern.
Grattz pumped reavo here lol guys delusional
I LOVE this part of the game.Back when John Brophy traded Russ Courtnall for John Kordick,Brophy Loved scraps.
That was Gord Stellick's epically bad trade. Brophy was coach.
How this guy ever made the NHL is amazing. He should wake up every day of his life and thanking god for making the NHL

@@Flintknappingtipsbro lost against the boards
@@Flintknappingtipshe's dog shit terrible at everything but hitting and fighting
Reaves was a very good player, for his role. Father Time is just catching up
„concied him“ what is that guy talking about? lost that fight by a mile.
You did not konkey anything. Likely the worst player in the league R. Reaves. For sure the worst skater left in the show

Every dog has its day
This guy is a career plug.
That's a tough way to make a living.
You wouldn't stand a chace against guy's like Probert,Dave Brown,Kocur,Simon etc...those guys was REAL enforcers who fought almost every game.
Simon was more of a psycho than a fighter.
The bash brothers would’ve absolutely embarrassed Reaves.
Gratts is right up there with all those guys and he did just fine
@@chevelle1tony twist would’ve put him to sleep
Reavez literally got desteoyed lmfao
Reaves fan, but if he fought McGratton when he was younger in Ottawa, forget about it.
these are the people who Crosby and Ovi played against. McDavid barely gets a body check. today's nhl is easy.
Warrior
Conkie. Good one!
You LOST THAT FIGHT YOU TOOL!!!
Makes sense that him and marshawn lynch were on the same baseball team😂
Would love to him and, Joey Kocer in his prime..

why do you cheer on criminals and thugs? Make better choices
@@trevornott2488 Go back to playing with your Barbie doll collection you soft casual. Be gone.

Reaves' first 3 seasons or so were really fun to watch. There were still about 20 or so heavyweight enforcers in the league and Reaves held his own with most of them.
He lost every fight he had with those guys, and has been doing teh same ever since.
@@trevornott2488 you’re trolling.
Reaves ducked most of them and let Janssen take them on instead while he targeted the light heavies/middleweights

@@AV57 dude Reaves ducked Colton Orr 4x in 1 game. He wanted none of McGrattan the next time they played each other
This guy can’t play hockey. Why he is in the league?
Diversity
@@brentbaker4489🤡
Just need Laraque to have been around to show him who wins
Did he ever fight Boogaard?
Never fought big buff he was quiet when he played against him
He couldn't fight to save his life that's why he could hit that was it
Buff was a horrible scrapper. He struggled with Matt Martin & Jamie Benn. He was just a big guy
I’m glad you’re not saying you won the fight. You’re not as delusional as predicted
"conkeyed" that's friggen awesome word! Go Reavo
Bubbles is that fucking Conky
Reaves is beyond overrated
Was Gretzky still playing then? Those clips are old as shit.
Can someone please tell me if "conkeyed" refers to Bubble's puppet from Trailer Park Boys?? 😂

If injuring someone in a fight while still losing the fight is the highlight of your career, you might be a goon
When I saw Reaves jump John Scott from behind I lost all respect for the punk
Or maybe he didn’t play the next bit cause he was an enforcer…
Then The MTL sheriff came along … could not find enough excuses. Then fought nobody to prove himself he is done. That why he playing with leaf and mathew show my small captain in parking lots
Just have the "staged" fights before the anthems. Simple.
Lots of people on tv struggle to say the word "three" just once. But you 🐑 dont have eyes
Ahhh yeah I wouldn't say you won that fight 😂 but that's funny n cool he does seem like a cool guy to have on your team the guy you love to hate
Get out that stuff you got a lucky shot in but that's okay it's all good you're a good player at least you're not a worse like so many other guys
I miss reavo on Vegas. Koleslaw has the weakest dream punches.
And let the mental illness begin
Mcgratton destroyed you
Has he fought George Laraque?
No he would of lost if he did , George is the NHL best ever fighter period !!
George Laraque was a very unique tough guy. He had size and he was extremely strong. It was very hard to muscle him around. He could throw around big guys because of his strength. I’ve never seen him actually lose a fight. What gave him another advantage over other tough guys, is that he was left handed, so he caught lots of tough guys off guard.
@@claytonroe7064Laraque was unreal. But probert will always be my heavyweight champ. I’m talking Detroit probert.
If fighting is part of the game why not have 9 year olds punching each other in the face?? Let's get fighting taught much earlier. Yeah baby!!
Reaves thinks he's tough..we all know..what's the point?
You’re not near as tough as you think you are too bad you weren’t around and Probert love to see you drop the mittens with George Larocque
Or Semenko
@@keithrittel3953 exactly Semenko would give it to him too
Anthony Peluso beat Reaves easily
You belong in the NFL

Don't mess with RR!!!!!💯👌
A Costco employee not only did, but tossed him around like a child.
Love this guy on the Leafs 👍🏽
Good thing he can fight cause he sure can't play hockey
Has been don't belong in nhl
Is Ranger fans miss Reaves! He’s awesome!
Why haven’t you fought Lucic ????????????? I’m sure you in TO and him in Boston y’all get it done !!!!

Too bad he sucks at hockey.
A bum
Reaves sucks
You fought McGrattan out of his prime he should’ve Fadi him when he played with Calgary. It would’ve been a whole different fight I promise you
Out of his prime?
Big Ern was 30 at the time and had only been in the league for 6,5 years.
You make it sound like he was 45.
Love both of these guys. Big Ern ended Tie Domi’s career. CZcams it
