Saturday was fight night

Last night there were 12 fights in total. First, in the Flyers-Lightning game, Riley Cote and Andre Roy dropped the gloves and had a good fight. I gave that one a draw, maybe an edge to Roy. I posted the video in this post below. In the Kings-Avalanche game, Raitis Ivanans man handled Cody McLeod in their fight.

In the Capitals-Senators game, Donald Brashear turned down Brian McGrattan to a fight, but at the end of the second period Brashear challenged Chris Neil and they fought and Brashear just over-powered Neil.

In the Rangers-Maple Leafs game, enforcers Colton Orr and Wade Belak dropped the gloves with each other once again. Belak started out early with the edge (mostly because he instigated the fight) and then Orr came back and got Belak to go down. I'm giving the edge to Orr in this one. Watch it below in this post.

In the Devils-Islanders game, there were three fights including one surprise fight. The surprise fight was Mike Mottau vs Mike Comrie. Later in the game, we had David Clarkson vs Bill Guerin and Mike Rupp vs Andy Sutton.

In the Bruins-Thrashers game, there were two fights and both were ok, nothing great. First there was Jeremy Reich vs Chris Thorburn. Then after the Reich-Thorburn fight, off the next faceoff Shawn Thornton and Eric Boulton dropped the gloves and had a good square off but it didn't last long as they lost their balance and went down. In the Hurricanes-Blue Jackets game, Tim Gleason and Jared Boll fought.

In the Ducks-Flames game there were two fights. First there was Travis Moen vs Dion Phaneuf but it wasn't much of a fight as they fell down too soon. Second was late in the game, Corey Perry and Eric Nystrom fought while a big scrum was going on.

More first round fights

Here are the rest of the hockey fights that happened during the first round of the playoffs. On April 17th, between the Thrashers and Rangers game, Ilya Kovalchuk and Sean Avery got into a fight and it was mostly Kovalchuk who threw the punches. Decision to Kovalchuk. That same day, in the Ducks-Wild game, Corey Perry and Brent Burns had a spirited bout with Burns getting the upper hand in their fight. Later in that game, Kent Huskins and Adam Hall had a wrestling match with Shawn Thornton jumping in there. And Brad May sucker punched Kim Johnsson.

On April 20th in the Lightning-Devils game, Andre Roy and Michael Rupp dropped the gloves and Rupp got the decision over Roy in a surprising fight. Then a little later, Nolan Pratt pounded on Jamie Langenbrunner with a lot of body shots. Decision to Pratt. On April 21st, in the Flames-Red Wings game, Dion Phaneuf and Todd Bertuzzi somehow got fighting majors when they really just wrestled. I give this a draw because nothing really happened in this one.

The second round of the playoffs started Wednesday night with no fights but I'm expecting there to be some before the round is over.

Jarome Iginla can do it all

Saturday proved to be another good night for hockey fights with six fights. Before I get to Jarome Iginla let me get the other stuff out of the way. In the Thrashers-Bruins game, first Eric Boulton and Jeremy Reich dropped the gloves and had a rather quick fight with both guys not really landing much. Boulton lost his balance and Reich went down on the top of him. I would give that one a draw. Later in the game, Jim Slater hit Jeff Hoggan against the boards, Hoggan got up and went at Slater and challenged him. They dropped the gloves and had a spirited fight where both guys looked like they landed a few. I would give a slight edge to Hoggan, maybe a draw. Watch the YouTube video of their fight below.

Jim Slater vs Jeff Hoggan


In the Capitals-Lightning game there were two fights. First, Donald Brashear and Andre Roy had another fight. Roy and Brashear exchanged punches furiously, some missing and some looked to land. Good spirited bout with these two tough guys. I would give this one a draw. Brashear did skate away from the fight with a cut and blood on his forehead. Later in the game, Matt Bradley and Nick Tarnasky had a quick fight where not much was thrown and I gave that one a draw. In the Ducks-Blues game, we had a heavyweight fight with George Parros (with his famous mustache) against rookie tough guy D.J. King. Both guys threw a lot of punches and King's punches looked to land at the start of the fight. Parros came back with some too but I would have to give the decision to King. After the fight Parros had a bloody nose and there was blood all over the ice as well.

And now about Jarome Iginla. Iginla may be the closest thing to Cam Neely right now in the NHL. The guy can play the game, hit, score, and fight. He had a good fight against Canucks' Willie Mitchell on Saturday. I would give that fight a draw. Watch the YouTube video of the fight below.

Blackhawks and Ducks throw down the gloves

Friday night was a wild night for the Blackhawks and Ducks that is. They brought back some old-time hockey with four hockey fights in the game. The first fight was between heavyweights David Koci and George Parros. They both exchange right hands and grapple and then go down to the ice together. I give that one a draw as neither guy looked to land a solid punch. Later in the game Tuomo Ruutu looked to high-stick Andy McDonald, so Chris Kunitz dropped his gloves, grabbed Ruutu and started throwing punches at him. Ruutu turtled as Kunitz threw punches and didn't really hurt Ruutu at all. Later, Ryan Getzlaf and Danny Richmond dropped the gloves but it was all Getzlaf as Richmond waited to throw a punch and then he lost his balance and went down. Decision to Getzlaf in that fight. Then later in the game, something that hasn't happened in a while happened. On the faceoff, before the puck was dropped, David Koci and Sean O'Donnell had some words and gave each other pushes and sticks, and they dropped the gloves and threw punches furiously at each other. Koci with the better punches but O'Donnell got some in too, and Koci got the takedown as well. Decision to Koci in that fight. You can watch that fight below.

David Koci vs Sean O'Donnell


In the Rangers-Thrashers game, Colton Orr and Eric Boulton had a rematch from their first fight earlier this season with Orr knocking down Boulton with a punch. This time it was a closer fight with Orr having the edge early on and then Boulton came back with some punches. But I give the decision to Orr in that fight. In the Sabres-Lightning game, Andrew Peters and Andre Roy dropped the gloves. It was mostly Peters in this fight as it looked like Roy went down from a Peters punch.

Rivalries are building back up it seems

Last night we had some old-time hockey with passion and intensity in the games. Most of the games this season have lacked just that. With the playoffs coming teams are playing for their playoff lives.

I have only seen the Flyers-Rangers and Bruins-Sabres fights from last night so I can only comment on those bouts right now. In the Flyers-Rangers game, Mike Richards and Sean Avery went at it after Todd Fedoruk was nailing every Ranger in sight. I gave that one a draw. Later in the game Alexandre Picard fought Aaron Ward with Ward throwing most of the punches, if not all of them. Ward got the decision in that one, but he also hurt his hand in that fight.

In the Bruins-Sabres there were two fights with Jeremy Reich vs Adam Mair, and Andrew Ference vs Jochen Hecht. Both scraps were spirited and both looked to be draws. I might give an edge to Reich in his fight but Mair landed some at the end of the fight. Hecht landed one huge punch on Ference, but that was after Ference layed a bunch of consecutive punches on Hecht's noggin.

You can download fight clips of both of those fights here. You can watch the videos below:

Update on 02/21/07 at 11:58 PM
I finally got to see the other hockey fights from Saturday night. There were quite a few. The Devils-Islanders game had three fights. First was Cam Janssen and Aaron Asham in a spirited punch-fest. I give that one a draw, watch the video below.


Cam Janssen vs Aaron Asham


Next in the Devils-Islanders game was Mike Rupp vs Drew Fata. Rupp didn't want to fight Chris Simon so he took on the smaller Fata and wailed away on him. Rupp gets the decision in this one, but loses respect by not going with Simon when Simon challenged him. Then there was Chris Simon taking out his frustration on Devils' defenseman Mark Fraser. Simon gets his left hand going and pounds Fraser.

In the chippy and feisty Kings-Ducks game there were a lot of scrums and pushes and shoves, and only one fight occurred in that game. Tom Kostopoulos and Shane O'Brien went at it in a quick bout which had no clear winner. The Lightning and Panthers have had some battles this season and it seems to be turning into a real rivalry. There were two ok fights in their game on Saturday. First there was Nick Tarnasky and Steve Montador going at it in not much of a fight as Montador lost his balance. Later in the game Andre Roy and Alexei Semenov dropped the gloves in a quick fight with Semenov getting in a few good shots on Roy. I would give the edge to Semenov, maybe a draw.

Colton Orr provides punch for Rangers and more

Last night one of my favorite tough guys had a good game. New York Rangers' Colton Orr scored a goal, the first in his career and also got into a fight in the game against Tampa Bay Lightning' Andre Roy. Colton Orr won this fight and is now 2-0 against Roy in his career. When Orr was with the Boston Bruins he fought Roy, who was with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and literally broke his face. On Saturday I'm hoping for a Orr vs Brashear matchup.

Also in the Lightning-Rangers game there was a short uneventful fight with Ryan Craig and Ryan Hollweg going at it. I would give it a draw. In the Blackhawks-Oilers game Martin Lapointe and Zack Stortini got into a fight but they held each other close and traded noogie shots before Lapointe threw Stortini down to the ice. I would give that fight a draw.

9 fights on Tuesday, keep them coming!

Tuesday night had 9 fights and most of them were pretty good. First there was Bruins' Jeremy Reich in his second game with the Bruins, he got into a fight with the Capitals' Ben Clymer. Reich dominated that fight but nothing looked to cleanly land. Decision goes to Reich. In the Blue Jackets-Coyotes game there was some rough stuff with Nick Boynton and Jody Shelley trying to get at each other with a linesman between them. Then Zenon Konopka and Owen Nolan fought in a short spirited bout. Nolan went down, I think he slipped and didn't go down because of a punch from Konopka.

In the Hurricanes-Canadiens game Andrew Ladd and Craig Rivet had a pretty good scrap. Both guys threw some bombs, the better coming from Rivet. I would give the edge to Rivet in their fight. See a video of the fight below. In the Penguins-Predators game Darcy Hordichuk layed out Alain Nasreddine with a huge hit and Maxime Talbot skated right over to Hordichuk and they dropped the gloves and Talbot mostly hugged and held on for dear life. He must have remembered last season when Hordichuk beat his ass.

In the Kings-Lightning game, Raitis Ivanans and Andre Roy dropped the gloves and went at it. Roy got in an early shot and Ivanans came back late in the fight. I would give this one a draw. In the Canucks-Oilers game, Jeff Cowan and Zack Stortini dropped the gloves off a faceoff
and went at it. Not much of a fight with them in close. I call that one a draw. In the Blackhawks-Flames game, Dion Phaneuf hit a Blackhawks player and Brent Seabrook went over and challenged Phaneuf and they dropped the gloves. I would give the edge to Phaneuf.

The last two fights were Avalanche' Ian Laperriere vs Panthers' Steve Montador and Sharks' Scott Parker vs Ducks' George Parros. I didn't see the Laperriere vs Montador fight yet. The Parker vs Parros fight I would call a draw because not much happened as Parros lost his balance and went down quick. Parker did throw a late punch but I don't think it landed. Last night was a busy night for hockey fights. Hopefully more nights have a lot of fights like Tuesday night did.

Six fights in six different games

Thursday night had quite a few hockey fights which made me happy. There were six in total and they all happened in different games. First there was the Devils' David Hale and the Flyers' Ben Eager going at it with Eager getting the decision in that fight.

Then there was two surprise fighters going at it in the Bruins-Sabres game. The Bruins have been playing bad and haven't been showing any kind of team-play (sticking up for each other) and in this second game in a few days against the Buffalo Sabres, Bruins' fans were waiting to see what they would show tonight. They came out hitting and playing with intensity and in the second period a spirited bout took place. Bruins' Brad Boyes got into a fight with Sabres' Toni Lydman and Boyes bloodied Lydman pretty good. It was good to see some Bruin player stand up and beat the crap out of someone. See video below of this fight.

In the Predators-Coyotes game, Hordichuk and Laraque had a fast paced fight with both guys throwing wild punches. I gave the decision to Laraque in that fight. In the Lightning-Hurricanes game, Andre Roy and Tim Gleason dropped the gloves but not much happened in that fight. In the Canadiens-Penguins game Colby Armstrong absolutely decked Canadiens Captain Saku Koivu with a clean check and Sheldon Souray went right after him. Not much of a fight but good to see a player stand up for his Captain. Souray got the instigator and a game misconduct for that. View the video of the fight below.

The last fight of the night was between Sharks' Doug Murray and Stars' Krys Barch. This was a good spirited bout which started because Murray and Eric Lindros were roughing around before the fight and Murray challenged Lindros, but Barch flew right in at Murray and away they went.

Four hockey fights on Tuesday

On Tuesday there were four hockey fights but none were toe-to-toe slugfests. Boston Bruins' Wayne Primeau fought Buffalo Sabres' Adam Mair because Mair hit Brad Stuart after Stuart layed out a Sabres player. Not that great of a fight between Primeau and Mair as both didn't really land anything.

The Philadelphia Flyers' Todd Fedoruk got into his first fight since coming back from getting his face messed up by Derek Boogaard in a fight. Fedoruk fought Tampa Bay Lightnings' Andre Roy but it wasn't much of a fight at all as Fedoruk turned away from Roy and went down to the ice. Will we ever see the Fedoruk of before his facial injury from Boogaard? I guess time will tell.

The Dallas Stars' Krys Barch must have had a lot of energy left over after being thrown out of the game against the Anaheim Ducks, because he got into an ok fight with San Jose Sharks' Ryane Clowe. I would give their fight a draw.

The other fight from Tuesday was between Toronto Maple Leafs' Alexei Ponikarovsky and Carolina Hurricanes' David Tanabe. I did not see this fight yet so I can't comment on who got the decision.

Ian Laperriere is the man!

Last night had a couple of hockey fights. We had Andrew Peters vs Wade Belak, Donald Brashear vs Andre Roy, Ryan Getzlaf vs Jeff Halpern, and Dion Phaneuf vs Ian Laperriere. How about Laperriere? He has all of Colorado's fighting majors. You can't ask anymore of him, he gives everything he has and he actually has skills. Laperriere is tied with Matthew Barnaby for the leader in fighting majors so far this season with 11. Colorado should get an enforcer to take care of the fisticuffs so Laperriere can score 20 goals. But I doubt that will happen with the new NHL.

Ian Laperriere vs Dion Phaneuf

The Brashear-Roy fight was a spirited one. Roy saw Brashear messing with a teammate of his at the faceoff so after the puck was dropped he challenged Brashear and they went at it. I would give it a draw/maybe slight edge to Brashear but Roy did good against Brashear (meaning he didn't get killed).
