Thursday and Friday fight roundup

I didn't have time to post about Thursday and Friday's fights until now so here we go. Thursday night there were four hockey fights. Panthers' Alexei Semenov and Flyers' Todd Fedoruk had a wrestling match where both guys didn't throw many punches and Semenov somehow fell down to the ice. I give that one a draw. In the Canadiens-Thrashers game, Francis Bouillon put a dirty knee-on-knee hit on Marian Hossa and Keith Tkachuk went after him. They both exchanged some good punches but Tkachuk got in the last punch that sent Bouillon down to the ice. Tkachuk gets the TKO win there. Watch the YouTube video of this fight below.

In the Flames-Predators game, Robyn Regehr and Jordin Tootoo had a battle where both guys threw punches and Regehr went down from losing his balance I think. I would maybe give a slight edge to Tootoo in this one, or a draw. In the Stars-Blues game, Barrett Jackman kept following Eric Lindros around the ice challenging him to fight and finally Lindros came back with a cross-check and then they dropped the gloves and had a wrestling match with not many punches thrown at all. I give this one a draw.

On Friday there were three fights. First there was Hurricanes' Tim Gleason and Capitals' Ben Clymer going at it in a short fight where not many punches were thrown. Clymer bumped into the Hurricanes' goalie which caused this fight. Draw in this one because no one landed anything, Gleason did throw two punches but both missed. In the Wild-Sabres game, Stephane Veilleux and Patrick Kaleta grab a hold of each other and drop the gloves in front of the Sabres bench after a scrum. Veilleux throws lefts and Veilleux throws rights. Veilleux eventually wrestles Kaleta down to the ice. I give this one a draw.

In the Oilers-Ducks game Zack Stortini and George Parros had some talking early in the game but Stortini declined the challenge from Parros. Later, Parros layed out an Oilers player and Stortini came in with gloves off after Parros. Stortini holds Parros in tight and it looks like Parros is trying to get free and apart from Stortini so they can fight but Stortini keeps the hug on a la Donald Brashear. They eventually go down to the ice. This one was a draw as not much happened. I don't know why Stortini drops the gloves and wants to go with Parros and then just hugs him the whole time. Protect your teammates and fight, don't hug. Maybe Stortini has new NHL syndrome?
