Friday night only had two games and we all knew that the Detroit Red Wings-St. Louis Blues game was not going to have any hockey fights. There were some small scrums in that game but nothing turned into a fight. The Columbus Blue Jackets-Calgary Flames game was what every true old-time hockey fan likes to see. There was hitting, passion, intensity, cheapshots, scrums, retaliation, and fighting. In the first period Eric Godard and Jody Shelley went at it after a scrum in front of the net after Zenon Konopka crashed into Mikka Kiprusoff. I would call that fight a draw even though I think Godard landed more.
Then in the second period Eric Godard instigated a fight with Zenon Konopka because a little earlier Konopka hit Jarome Iginla. The hit looked like Konopka hit Iginla's knee, and Iginla just came back from a knee injury and the Flames need their Captain. So Godard being a team player and knowing his role knew what he had to do. Godard got the win in his fight against Konopka.
