Georges Laraque vs Donald Brashear

Well hockey fight fans were looking for the Georges Laraque vs Donald Brashear matchup on Tuesday night and we got it. The heavyweight title was on the line but the fight wasn't much as both guys got in some quick punches at the start but they went down quick. I give this fight a draw. View the YouTube video of the fight below.

Also on Tuesday, in the Blue Jackets-Blues game, Jody Shelley and rookie D.J. King had an ok fight with King getting in a lot of jersey jabs and throwing most of the punches. Anyone else think Shelley has had an ok to bad year in fighting this year? He hasn't done as well as previous years. In the Oilers-Predators game there were two fights and Oilers veteran defenseman Jason Smith was in both of them. First Smith fought Ramzi Abid in a spirited bout with not many punches landing but both guys looked heated. Later in the game, Darcy Hordichuk layed out Smid with a hit and Smith came right in and they dropped the gloves. Both guys threw some punches and Hordichuk got the takedown at the end. Hordichuk's tiedown ripped and his jersey came off and for some reason the referees thought he wasn't tied down so they threw him out of the game. The television replays showed the tiedown so the referees messed up on that call. Maybe they threw him out because he's a tough guy?
