I always like Cairns. Real old time hockey type of guy and wasn't really on the cheap and dirty side. Too many in his era were talking/flexing their muscles and mouths too much, he just went about his business. I always felt bad about the Tamp playoffs series and his being made a fall guy for a vastly inferior team to Tampa that year.
Cairns is wrong about one thing - The reason Chris Neil declined his challenge is that Neil is a spotpicker of the highest order. He suddenly becomes a mouse when confronted by someone bigger or tougher than he is. Puss.
+JoshDone check out the videos of Chris Neil fighting Chara and Lucic. Not to mention Derek Boogard (RIP). Obviously you are a fuck boy who knows fuck all about why tough guys fight. I bet you wear a full cage don't you? that is....if you even play hockey. Go comment on Justin Bieber vids like you usually do.
there's a code. these guys don't fight (most of the time) with malicious intent. if Neiler said the hand is sore or he wants to focus on the game, a true professional like Cairns isn't going to harass him for a fight.
Damn he looks like a madman when he's talking. Great vid.
Always like Cairns, very tough who comblied with the 'Code'. In interviews he always talks about the team and winning the game.

False.
Wrong ! Chris Neil would fight anybody . I've never been to a professional hockey game but I am 64 years old and i admire him.
Are you still as dumb now as you were 9 years ago when you typed that?
Islanders haven't had a REAL tough guy since late 80s and 90s Ken BaumGardener! Carins and Martin since then that's mode about it. SMH.
