9 fights on Tuesday, keep them coming!

Tuesday night had 9 fights and most of them were pretty good. First there was Bruins' Jeremy Reich in his second game with the Bruins, he got into a fight with the Capitals' Ben Clymer. Reich dominated that fight but nothing looked to cleanly land. Decision goes to Reich. In the Blue Jackets-Coyotes game there was some rough stuff with Nick Boynton and Jody Shelley trying to get at each other with a linesman between them. Then Zenon Konopka and Owen Nolan fought in a short spirited bout. Nolan went down, I think he slipped and didn't go down because of a punch from Konopka.

In the Hurricanes-Canadiens game Andrew Ladd and Craig Rivet had a pretty good scrap. Both guys threw some bombs, the better coming from Rivet. I would give the edge to Rivet in their fight. See a video of the fight below. In the Penguins-Predators game Darcy Hordichuk layed out Alain Nasreddine with a huge hit and Maxime Talbot skated right over to Hordichuk and they dropped the gloves and Talbot mostly hugged and held on for dear life. He must have remembered last season when Hordichuk beat his ass.

In the Kings-Lightning game, Raitis Ivanans and Andre Roy dropped the gloves and went at it. Roy got in an early shot and Ivanans came back late in the fight. I would give this one a draw. In the Canucks-Oilers game, Jeff Cowan and Zack Stortini dropped the gloves off a faceoff
and went at it. Not much of a fight with them in close. I call that one a draw. In the Blackhawks-Flames game, Dion Phaneuf hit a Blackhawks player and Brent Seabrook went over and challenged Phaneuf and they dropped the gloves. I would give the edge to Phaneuf.

The last two fights were Avalanche' Ian Laperriere vs Panthers' Steve Montador and Sharks' Scott Parker vs Ducks' George Parros. I didn't see the Laperriere vs Montador fight yet. The Parker vs Parros fight I would call a draw because not much happened as Parros lost his balance and went down quick. Parker did throw a late punch but I don't think it landed. Last night was a busy night for hockey fights. Hopefully more nights have a lot of fights like Tuesday night did.
