Watched this on a Quebec DVD last night and was wondering when this took place, early 80's? It showed Vancouver coach throwing punches with a Quebec fan. Some Vancouver players like Fraser are shown in the stands. This was shown on a news clip and I was wondering when it took place and if it's available in more than a newsclip? Looked pretty wild.

First time I have seen this too! This is almost as good as Rob Ray beating a Quebec fan. Can't believe Quebec fans have been beaten pretty good in seperate incidents like this! LOL Doug Halward really was throwing them at the fan protecting his coach. How could Quebec (with last change) have Stastny and Goulet out there vs Tiger and Snepsts? Terrible coaching. Harold could have teed off on Goulet but didn't, and Tiger just roughed Stastny up. Could have been worse for them. No wonder the fan had to come to the aid. Where were Quebec's tough guys?

Well, if it was 81-82, they didn't really have much in terms of tough guys. Dale Hunter, Wally Weir(d), Mario Marios, and ... apparently Basil wasn't dressed that game.
Harry Neale is one of my favorite coach's, & broadcasters all time. Thanks for the clip!

The Nords also had an aging Wilf Paiement and Randy Moller, but no true enforcers. They got a bit tougher in 1983 by trading for Jimmy Mann and adding Gord Donnelly and Pat Price to their lineup.

Awesome to see the look in Frasers eyes when he took his helmet off and was ready to whip it at some knucklehead in the stands...LOL- He was the best.

The rest of us don't look lovingly into players eyes, so no.
I believe this incident happened years before Barnaby TKO'd Manson, if anyone is doing a timeline. Maybe someone can check the tape to see if Manson's eyes were crossed or rolled back when he got dropped.

I think the last names "Molinaro" or something like that, though I think Daniel J Travente's a Dago too!
Hey Kramer, didnt you say something along time ago about being afraid to approach Fraser, because he had this intense look in his eyes? He really does..

Yep (although 'afraid' isn't quite the right word, I fear NO MAN!!), We would see him all the time in Traverse City, MI at the prospect tournament, he was with ATL at the time, eventually Detroit/Grand Rapids. But yes, very intimidating, cold staring eyes. Most everyone there was pretty approachable to talk hockey, GM's, scouts, former players, etc. But Fraser was the one guy, I said, nope, i'm leaving him alone! Probably the nicest guy in the world, but man he had a look about him.
