TheSloth Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 Stumped all the Sens fans, did I? Do you mean this Dennis Vial? The complete bad ass from the Sault, who I don't recall ever wearing a visor because he was there to bust skulls? On a side note, the 93-94 Sens featuring Bill Huard, Dennis Vial, Darren Rumble and Troy Mallette, in hindsight, is an absolutely hilarious team. What a bunch of goons. (with Craig Billington between the pipes, yikes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 That's the guy, yeah. Super nice, totally fits the bill of the tough guy on the ice/gentle giant off. You should see him play, for a large dude he can skate! Which stands to reason, I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSloth Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 The guy was a monster, his fights with Rob Ray were something else. I just looked up the stats for the 93-94 season, a 19 year old Yashin putting up 79 points and a whopping -49 +/-, with a smooth skating 18 year old Daigle putting up 51 points and a -42. Who can forget that old blue line classic Gord Dineen, no goals, a bunch of assists and a -52. Our beloved backup goalie Darren Madelay, who I have absolutely no recollection of, GAA 4.36 (better than Billington's 4.59) with a SV% of 0.868 (besting Billie's 0.859). Of course we threw Mark LaForest out there a few times as well, his numbers were worse.What an era for the Sens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Johnson Posted November 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 haha, that's true. I don't even know if that's him, to tell you the truth. I just google imaged his name and thought, well, he must have looked different way back when. Poor showing on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Boy 2.0 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 In 2001, while a member of the British Ice Hockey League's Sheffield Steelers, Vial incited a much publicized brawl against the Nottingham Panthers which resulted in the league handing out several suspensions totaling 28 games and fines worth £8,400 ($18,750).[3] Vial was suspended for six games and fined £750 ($1,675 Cdn) for numerous offences, including instigating the brawl[4][5] by cross-checking Nottingham's Greg Hadden, and squirting water at fans in the stands.Britain's Press Association described the event, which escalated into a 36 man bench clearing brawl, as "one of the worst scenes of violence ever seen at a British ice hockey rink."

Hal Johnson Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 We won the league last night! If I could figure out how to post pics from my phone I would, but I'm also hurting pretty bad at work this morning. Celebrations went a tad late.It was a faking riot playing with Dennis all year though. He yelled at everyone all the time, but in a fun way, if that makes sense. It's sort of how I picture Booche leading a team. Good times. I suggest you all find your own retired enforcer to help motivate you through shit, it works!
