Oilers Throwback - Rod Phillips calls a big fight

Rod Phillips is also the uncle of retired Ottawa Senators defenseman Chris Phillips. One such portion of his style was his great calling of a fight.

One such fight was done on December 21st, 1984. Garth Butcher of the Vancouver Canucks decided to take on Mike Krushelnyski of the Oilers.

Butcher threw a few punches, but Krushelnyski managed to land most of them and took that bout. Aside from the fight itself, Phillips gave the listeners and viewers a great play-by-play of the fight and certainly made it exciting.

Krushelnyski spent four seasons with the Oilers from 1984 to 1988. Besides his fighting talents, Krushelnyski also was a great point-getter. He played 276 games with the Oilers, scoring 95 goals, and 131 assists for 226 points. He also had 213 penalty minutes.

The 81-year-old broadcaster did his final game on March 29th, 2011 in which he called 3542 games in his career. Well done Mr. Phillips!
