Earlier this week fight roundup

On Sunday there were just two fights. In the Lightning-Capitals game, Shane O'Brien and Matt Bradley fought in a spirited bout with O'Brien early and Bradley coming back at the end. I gave that one a draw. In the Coyotes-Stars game, Daniel Carcillo and Krys Barch dropped the gloves and had a round and round we go type of fight. They kept spinning throwing rights when possible. Then they got in tight and exchanged some more punches. It was a long fight that Carcillo looked to hurt his hand and didn't want anymore. They both tired out and the fight was over. Barch skated away with a cut above his left eye with blood dripping down the side of his face. I gave the edge to Barch, but I think you could call it a draw. Good fight nonetheless.

On Tuesday there were three fights, all coming in different games. In the Devils-Maple Leafs game everyone knew Cam Janssen would have to fight somebody because of his hit on Tomas Kaberle in an earlier game. Wade Belak was the one to call out Janssen and they had a long spirited bout with Belak looking to get the edge in that one. In the Blue Jackets-Blackhawks game, Danny Richmond and Manny Malhotra had a hugfest with no punches really being thrown. I was surprised they got fighting majors. In the Panthers-Flyers game, Gregory Campbell instigated a fight with Ben Eager. He shouldn't have done that because Eager gave it to him pretty good. Win to Eager in that one.
