Penguins vs Coyotes, a few scraps

Well there wasn't much in terms of hockey fights last night. The only game that produced any was the Pittsburgh Penguins vs Phoenix Coyotes game, but even the fights in those games weren't ones you would say are a candidate for 'fight of the year.' The first fight was between Brooks Orpik and Ed Jovanovski. Jovanovski layed out Alain Nasreddine with a nice check behind the net. Orpik saw that and went right after Jovanovski, and they had an uneventful scrap. But good job by Orpik to stand up for a teammate.

The other fight was between Josh Gratton and Ronald Petrovicky. Petrovicky looked to be talking trash to the Coyotes bench and once he turned around to get back in the play Gratton was coming at him. Gratton dropped the gloves off and grabbed Petrovicky ready to give him a beatdown. Petrovicky then turtled and went down to the ice. Gratton threw some punches at the back of Petrovicky's helmet. Then linesmen and players started piling on top of them. Petrovicky then started throwing punches at Gratton when they were down in the pile and Gratton couldn't protect himself. What a chicken-shit move that was by Petrovicky, he turtles and then when Gratton can't protect himself he then throws punches. What a pussy.
