More fight wrap-ups, Thursday and Friday

Besides the Senators-Sabres line brawl on Thursday (February 22nd) there were some other good hockey fights. In the Oilers-Blue Jackets game there were two decent fights. The first one was between Mathieu Roy and Jody Shelley. It started because Shelley layed out an Oiler player with a good shoulder check. The Oiler player was down and looked to be in real pain. Roy came right over and dropped the gloves with Shelley. Good response by Roy, but I wouldn't give him the edge in the fight though. But he showed up and that's what counts. The second fight was between Jean-Francois Jacques and Ole-Kristian Tollefsen. Tollefsen roughed up an Oilers player and then challenged him to go but the Oiler player declined. The Oiler play then went to the bench for a line change and off the bench came Jacques who challenged Tollefsen right away. They went at it pretty good with Jacques getting in some good shots. I give the edge to Jacques in that fight. In the Flyers-Hurricanes game Todd Fedoruk dropped the gloves with Tim Gleason. Fedoruk hits Ryan Whitney and then at the whistle Gleason comes over to Fedoruk and away they go. They both exchange punches, Gleason looked to get the better shots on Fedoruk. I give the edge to Gleason in that one. Fedoruk still has not won a fight since he has been injured against Derek Boogaard.

On Friday there was only one fight and it was Bruins' Jeremy Reich vs Lightnings' Nick Tarnasky. They dropped the gloves off a faceoff and went at it. They both exchanged punches in close to each other. Reich I think caught a punch from Tarnasky and then lost his balance and fell down. I gave the edge to Tarnasky in that one. But I think you could also call it a draw.

I'll get to the hockey fights that happened on Saturday and Sunday later today hopefully.

A Shark putting down a Coyote

Last night had a few good hockey fights, the best one was with Phoenix Coyotes tough guy Josh Gratton vs San Jose Sharks Rob Davison. Davison layed a beating on Gratton landing almost every punch he threw while Gratton couldn't get going from the start. Watch the video below.

Also last night the Anaheim Ducks-Edmonton Oilers game had two fights. The Ducks now have 45 fighting majors, the most in the league. Behind the Ducks in fighting majors are the St. Louis Blues (28), the Washington Capitals (27), the Nashville Predators (26), and the Phoenix Coyotes (26). In the Ducks-Oilers game, it was Travis Moen vs Matt Greene and then Shawn Thornton vs Mathieu Roy. I would give Thornton the win in his fight with Roy, but I would give the other fight between Moen and Greene a draw. The other fight of the night was between Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer Wade Belak and Florida Panthers defenseman Bryan Allen. I would also give that fight a draw.
