96-97 NJ Devils Season Fight Compilation

96-97, great regular season, but disappointing playoffs losing to the Rags in 5 games, as they continue to dominate us in the playoffs during the 90's. A lot of multiple fight/scrum situations during this regular season and playoffs. I continue to be amazed as I watch Mike Peluso fight, how wild of a fighter he was. This year saw a bit of a "changing of the guard" in terms of fighters, as the Devils shipped out Peluso and Reid Simpson steps in to take his spot as resident tough guy, along with McKay, Daneyko, Stevens, Jason Smith, Lyle Odelein, Billy Guerin, Steve Thomas and Oliwa's 1st game as a Devil.
