Impressive fights from Gillies. Really, Janssen didn't seem to play to his normal style of waiting for the opponent to tire out, and he didn't look all that good as a result.
Janssen got worked. Interesting to see Gillies trying to explain himself after that last punch in the first vid. I can't see a particularly good reason to throw a bomb over the linesmen, wonder what he was saying.
we all know when the pens and Isles face off these 2 are gonna go at it....Mac is a beast, but so is Gilles, should be crazy....
The who reason Pens getting him was to face the Isles IMO after being embarrased last year on fight nite...
The Pens were embarrassed? The Isles proved to the whole league just how big of a joke they are. I guess if you call goons blindsiding and suckerpunching non-fighters 'tough', then yeah, the Isles proved how tough they were.
I was hoping Janssen would wipe the floor with that ****ing disgrace.
you'll be waiting till the end of time for that to happen. and Janssens ship has sailed as a top heavy.

'non-fighters' ? anybody on skates wearing the enemies sweaters is fair game. there are no 'designated' fighters.
That was a very fun fight in person, us Isles fans love Gillies. I just met him today at the Islanders annual meet and greet event at Adventureland, he was by far the coolest guy there. He really took the time out to talk to every fan, sign whatever they wanted, and take funny pictures.
He really is a good guy and did express regret for what he did in the Pittsburgh game, us Isles fans don't agree with it either.
I know another fan said that somebody tried to give him a picture of him dropping somebody in a fight, and Gillies politely refused and said "I don't talk bad towards those that do the same thing that I do, nothing but respect".

Speak for yourself, I can't stand that dirtbag. Incredible fighter, but terrible player to have on your roster.

I think it's kind of unnecessary to call him a dirtbag. I can completely understand fans not liking him on the team because he's "a waste of a roster spot", but Isles fans are quick to forget that we were the softest team in the league for years and we suffered because of it.
I think he's useful for games that we know there will be trouble.
