Big fights in past week

There were 28 hockey fights this past week (October 28-November 3) but I'll just talk about the best fights of the week. On Thursday, November 1st, in the Blues-Wild game people were hoping for D.J. King and Derek Boogaard to drop the gloves and oh they did. They had an ok fight with both guys landing punches. Two of King's punches looked to actually land on Boogaard's chin. But then Boogaard came back with some punches on King. I would give that fight a slight edge to Boogaard. Watch the YouTube video of this fight below.

Also on Thursday, Ducks' Travis Moen got to get some revenge on Blue Jackets' Jared Boll for his high hit on Moen. They had a long fight where I would give the edge to Moen. There were three fights in that Ducks-Blue Jackets game. In the Coyotes-Stars game on Friday, Josh Gratton knocked down Brad Winchester in a fight, which I talked about in my previous post. On Saturday night I surprised to see Devils' Mike Rupp drop the gloves with Rangers' enforcer Colton Orr. But he did and he did ok in a spirited fight. I gave that one a draw.

Another big fight with the Wilds' Derek Boogaard this past week. On Saturday, Flames' Eric Godard instigated a fight with Boogaard and they had an ok fight, not really like their previous fights. I gave Boogaard a slight edge in that fight.
