This past Saturday was a slow night. Usually Saturdays bring a lot of rough stuff but not this time. There were only two fights. In the Thrashers-Penguins game, Keith Tkachuk and Maxime Talbot dropped the gloves but Talbot had no chance in this one as Tkachuk threw all the punches (none landed though). Decision to Tkachuk. The other fight of the night was a heavyweight bout between Derek Boogaard and Raitis Ivanans. It wasn't the slugfest that we all hoped for, but Ivanans showed he can hang in there with the "Boogieman." It looked like both guys didn't land any punches but they both threw quite a few. By the way I really hate those Minnesota Wild homer broadcasters. I know most if not all television broadcasters are homers but the Wild broadcasters are way over being homers and just plain old annoying at times. View the Boogaard-Ivanans fight below.
Derek Boogaard vs Raitis Ivanans
On Sunday there was only one fight, with Ian Laperriere and Jeff Cowan having a good bout. Laperriere won the start of the fight but Cowan came back at the end to give this one a draw.
On Monday the Detroit Red Wings actually had a fighting major. Andreas Lilja dropped the gloves with Travis Moen. He probably should have thought that one through as Moen threw most of the punches in their fight. Lilja did though look to land the first punch of the fight, but after that it was all Moen. Decision to Moen.
