Eastern rivalries - Flyers vs Sabres and Rangers vs Devils

Tuesday night was pretty good with three fights that night. In the Flyers-Sabres game, R.J. Umberger tried to get some revenge on Brian Campbell from the big hit from last years' playoffs. Umberger instigated the fight with Campbell and got in some good shots. After the fight in the penalty box Campbell had an ice bag on his mouth. Decision to Umberger in that one.

Later in the first period of that game Todd Fedoruk and Andrew Peters had an uneventful fight. Fedoruk looked like he was trying not to get punched in the fight. Since his return from the injury he received from Derek Boogaard, Fedoruk hasn't looked good in his two fights (against Andre Roy and now Peters). In both of them he looked to be hesitant of throwing punches, and looked to be afraid of getting hit with a punch. I would give this one a draw since both guys didn't throw much or land much at all.

In the Rangers-Devils game there was some rough stuff, including Sean Avery and goalie Martin Brodeur exchanging shoves. In the third period Colton Orr and Cam Janssen finally dropped the gloves and went at it. Orr and Janssen exchanged punches but Orr looked to land more. At the end Orr looked to land a shot on Janssen and either Janssen slipped and fell down, or Orr's punch sent him down.
