Jarkko Ruutu bites Andrew Peters
As if the NHL needed more bullshit, with Sydney Crosby instigating fights now to one player biting another. Ottawa Senators' gutless agitator Jarkko Ruutu bit Sabres' enforcer Andrew Peters last night. Funny how just Peters got a penalty for it too. Watch the video below.
From NationalPost.com, some comments from Andrew Peters about the incident:
Comments from Ruutu:
Ruutu is the reason there should be no instigator rule. If there wasn't we wouldn't be doing this shit, because then he would get his ass handed to him every night. He's just a sad pathetic excuse of a hockey player.
From NationalPost.com, some comments from Andrew Peters about the incident:
"It's a pretty stupid thing to do, regardless of who you are, it's just not part of the game of hockey," said Peters, whose thumb was cut.
"I've never had anyone bite me before, I didn't know that happened. The refs didn't see it. That's unfortunate. I saw a replay of it and it's pretty evident that he did bite me and I have a lot of confidence that the league will take the proper procedures and go about it the right way. I'm not going to say anything that's going to get me in any trouble. Like I said, I'm going to let the league deal with it."
Comments from Ruutu:
For his part, Ruutu denied biting Peters.
"He had his finger in my mouth, but I didn't bite him," Ruutu said.

Krys Barch vs Andrew Peters
On January 24th Stars' Krys Barch stood up for his teammate Steve Ott and took on the Sabres' heavyweight Andrew Peters. I don't know what Peters was waiting for, it seemed like he held back for a reason, but Barch kept throwing short jersey jabs which seemed to work on Peters and throw the occassional big punch. Barch gets the decision in this one. Watch it below.

Flyers-Rangers rivalry may be back
Besides the KO heard around the hockey fighting world, which I posted about last night after it happened, there were two others fights on Wednesday night. In the same Flyers-Rangers game as the Orr KO on Fedoruk, Orr took on Ben Eager in the first period as well. Orr didn't KO Eager, but it was Orr early and Eager late in the fight. I give that one a draw. You can view that fight below. So is the Flyers-Rangers rivalry heating back up in this new NHL? I believe they play again later before the season ends. Maybe the Flyers will bring up Riley Cote to take Fedoruk's spot if Fedoruk is unable to play again this season. Their next meeting should be interesting.
In the Capitals-Sabres game, the two heavyweights had a rematch from their earlier fight this year where Peters nailed Brashear with some nice shots. But in this one it was all Brashear as he looked to overpower Peters, pulling him off balance and throwing punches as Peters tried to get loose. Decision to Brashear in this one.

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.
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.

David Koci reminds us of what hockey once was
Chicago Blackhawks' David Koci made his NHL season debut last night and made a bang. He reminded the old-time hockey fans what hockey once was, a tough hard-working, hard-hitting sport. Koci racked up 42 penalty minutes in his first game which included three fights and a huge clean hit which he got thrown out of the game for.
Koci got into two good fights with Phoenix Coyotes' tough guy Josh Gratton. In their first fight Gratton sent Koci down with two big rights. In round 2 they had a slugfest with both guys landing some nice shots. You can watch both fights below. You can download both fights on Adam's Hockey Site fight clips page.
In that same Blackhawks-Coyotes game, Danny Richmond and Daniel Carcillo dropped the gloves and had a spirited bout with Carcillo gettting the edge. In the third period David Koci layed out Bill Thomas with a clean check and Nick Boynton went after Koci. They had an uneventful fight with Boynton getting the takedown. I would give that one a draw, maybe Koci an edge.
There were other fights on Saturday. In the Bruins-Flyers game Jeremy Reich and Darren Reid had a fight with Reich getting the edge. In the Rangers-Penguins game, the heavyweight title was on the line as Colton Orr and Georges Laraque had a fight that Laraque dominated. Laraque looked to land two big lefts that sent Orr down to the ice. Win to Laraque and he retains the title. I believe this was Laraque's first fight in three months! That's too long.
In the Devils-Sabres game, Cam Janssen was playing in his first game back from his suspension and it didn't take long before he found a dance partner. Janssen dropped the gloves with Sabres' enforcer Andrew Peters. They had a long fight with not many punches landing as they held each other away from each other. I would give a slight edge to Peters in this fight.

Sabres vs Senators rematch on Saturday
Saturday night had the rematch that everyone was looking forward to. Although it didn't have another line brawl, it had some more rough stuff including two spirited hockey fights. The first was between Andrew Peters and Brian McGrattan. Wade Redden put down a Sabres player with a good hit and Peters came over to Redden and they had some words. McGrattan came over to Peters and they dropped the gloves and had a heavyweight bout. I would give it a draw, Peters landed a big punch at the start of it and McGrattan came back at the end. Watch the video below of this fight. Later in the second period a Sabres player hit a Senators player. Chris Neil didn't like that and went at the Sabres player and pushed him. The Sabres player looked like he exaggerated the push as he threw his body backwards onto the ice, which brought Adam Mair over to Neil. Neil and Mair got a hold of each other and Neil dropped the gloves. Mair then dropped his gloves and they went at it. Not many punches landed by either guy and I gave that one a draw.
Andrew Peters vs Brian McGrattan
In the Sharks-Flames game, Mark Bell and Wayne Primeau had a fight where Bell landed a big punch that cut Primeau over his right eye. Win to Bell in that one. In the Capitals-Devils game, John Erskine and Cam Janssen had a long fight where both guys traded punches. I gave that one a draw because there was no clear winner. In the Avalanche-Kings game, Ian Laperriere and Tom Kostopoulos had a quick non-eventful fight where not many punches were thrown as they had balance issues. Laperriere now has 15 fighting majors and leads the NHL in that stat. As of right now Andrew Peters is second on that list with 14 fighting majors. Cam Janssen and George Parros are tied for third with 13 fighting majors.
In the Blue Jackets-Rangers game we had another heavyweight fight between Jody Shelley and Colton Orr. Shelley wanted to go as he gave Orr the stick so they dropped the gloves and right away Orr threw some big rights that looked to stun Shelley for a second. They exchanged punches, both getting shots in on each other, but Orr got the better as after the fight Shelley had blood on his nose. That fight was Orr's 12th fight was of the season and Shelley's 11th fight of the season. Watch the video of this heavyweight fight below.

Senators vs Sabres line brawl
Thursday night we had some old-time hockey with a 6 on 6 line brawl between the Ottawa Senators and the Buffalo Sabres. The Senators did not have their enforcer Brian McGrattan in the lineup for this game, too bad because it would have made it even better. Anyways back to Thursday's game. Here's what happened first. Senators' Chris Neil layed out Sabres' star Chris Drury with a clean looking hit but it did appear to be late. Drury was lying on the ice and blood was visible on the ice. It was said that he had a deep cut on his forehead. Sabres' Drew Stafford went after Neil and they dropped the gloves in a short fight that Neil had the edge in.
On the next faceoff, the puck is dropped, Mair goes at Jason Spezza, cross-checking him and trying to get him to fight. Sabres' enforcer Andrew Peters goes after Dany Heatley. Everybody joins the pile up with Mair and Spezza besides Peters, Heatley and the goalies. Ray Emery and Martin Biron shed the masks and gloves. They meet and exchange punches. Emery won that one. After that, Peters is making his way to the penalty box (where Emery and Biron were). Peters and Emery get together, grab each other and start exchanging punches. It was mostly Peters throwing punches at Emery. After everyone is broken apart from each other the camera focuses on the benches with the coaches, Lindy Ruff and Brian Murray screaming and swearing at each other. Ruff tries to make his way to Murray but can't get to him as he slips between the benches where Sabres TV guy Rob Ray is standing and enjoying the verbal war between Ruff and Murray.
View the videos of the Chris Neil hit and the line brawl below. Wow what a line brawl that was. The first one this year I believe (I may be wrong about that). These two teams play Saturday night and look for McGrattan to be dressed and in the lineup for that game. Hopefully Gary Bettman doesn't ruin things and suspend Mair and/or Peters and/or Neil. If you want fans to watch the games, there needs to be more of this kind of action.
Does anyone think that Neil's hit on Drury was dirty? What was Murray thinking by putting out all of the skilled players, and not any tougher Senators before that line brawl ensued? Do you think Peters should have not fought Emery? Anyone think any of these guys will be suspended for Saturday's game? I hope not!

Next faceoff after the Neil hit on Drury, Mair goes after Spezza, Peters goes after Heatley, Emery vs Biron, then Peters fights Emery

Eastern rivalries - Flyers vs Sabres and Rangers vs Devils
Tuesday night was pretty good with three fights that night. In the Flyers-Sabres game, R.J. Umberger tried to get some revenge on Brian Campbell from the big hit from last years' playoffs. Umberger instigated the fight with Campbell and got in some good shots. After the fight in the penalty box Campbell had an ice bag on his mouth. Decision to Umberger in that one.
Later in the first period of that game Todd Fedoruk and Andrew Peters had an uneventful fight. Fedoruk looked like he was trying not to get punched in the fight. Since his return from the injury he received from Derek Boogaard, Fedoruk hasn't looked good in his two fights (against Andre Roy and now Peters). In both of them he looked to be hesitant of throwing punches, and looked to be afraid of getting hit with a punch. I would give this one a draw since both guys didn't throw much or land much at all.
In the Rangers-Devils game there was some rough stuff, including Sean Avery and goalie Martin Brodeur exchanging shoves. In the third period Colton Orr and Cam Janssen finally dropped the gloves and went at it. Orr and Janssen exchanged punches but Orr looked to land more. At the end Orr looked to land a shot on Janssen and either Janssen slipped and fell down, or Orr's punch sent him down.

Three good fights, one veteran teaches a rookie
There were three hockey fights last night and they were all pretty good and entertaining. The best fight though from last night was Sabres' enforcer Andrew Peters vs Oilers' rookie tough guy Zack Stortini. Peters had the upper hand during the entire fight and threw some bombs. Stortini managed to wrestle Peters down to the ice to stop the beating he took. Win to Peters in their bout. View the video of the fight below.
In the Rangers-Hurricanes game, Ryan Hollweg had a fight against Mike Commodore. Commodore was winning at the start of the fight but Hollweg came back at the end to give this one a draw, maybe slight edge to Hollweg. In the Ducks-Coyotes game, I was hoping for Georges Laraque or Josh Gratton to fight a Ducks player but that did not happen. Instead Ducks' defenseman Francois Beauchemin and Coyotes defenseman Nick Boynton dropped the gloves and had a good fight. Not many punches seemed to land but both guys were throwing. I gave that fight a draw.

Boogaard vs Godard, the rematch
The All-Star break ended and last night we had some good hockey action. The Flames recalled tough guy Eric Godard so you knew that the game against the Minnesota Wild was going to have the rematch, Derek Boogaard vs Eric Godard. Round 2 did take place and it was a good fight with both guys getting some shots in on each other. They both skated away from the fight with marks on their faces as Boogaard had a cut under his right eye and Godard had a bloody lip. I would give that fight a draw. Enjoy the YouTube video of the fight below.
Eric Godard vs Derek Boogaard - Round 2
There were three other fights with Sabres' Andrew Peters vs Blue Jackets' Jody Shelley, which I would give a draw because neither fighter landed much at all. The Capitals' Chris Clark and Hurricanes' Scott Walker had a spirited bout with the win going to Scott Walker. The other fight was between Stars' Stephane Robidas and Penguins' Jarkko Ruutu with Ruutu getting the win over Robidas.
A good night last night, I'm hoping for some more hockey fights today. Get ready, the first game today is about to start at 1pm with the New York Rangers at the Philadelphia Flyers.

Laperriere continuing to protect his teammates
A few posts ago I posted about Ian Laperriere in how he has all of Colorado's fighting majors this season, well he got another one last night. This time against San Jose Sharks' forward Ryane Clowe. I would give the fight a draw, maybe a slight edge to Clowe because it looked like Clowe landed more punches than Laperriere did.
The only other fight from yesterday was with Boston Bruins' defenseman Andrew Alberts and Buffalo Sabres' enforcer Andrew Peters. The fight happened because Alberts layed a good hit on a Buffalo forward and Peters came over and challenged Alberts. They dropped the gloves and it was all Peters at first, then Alberts got in a quick left, then Peters threw some more, and then Alberts slipped and went down to the ice. Even though Alberts looked to land the best punch of the fight, the win goes to Peters. You can view the Alberts-Peters fight below.

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.
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).
