Darcy Tucker vs Jarkko Ruutu, battle of the agitators

Thursday night we got to see a slugfest between two of the best agitators in the game today, Darcy Tucker and Jarkko Ruutu. They went at it and had a great fight with both guys throwing and landing some bombs to each other's face. It looked like Ruutu landed more and by the end of the fight Tucker had blood on his left eyebrow trickling down his face. That was an awesome fight, watch it below, and download it here.

Battle of the agitators, Avery vs Tucker

I bet a lot of people wanted to see this fight go down and it did last night. I'm talking about Sean Avery vs Darcy Tucker of course, probably the two biggest agitators in the game today. They lined up against each other on a faceoff and they talked. After the puck was dropped, Tucker dropped his gloves but Avery turned his back to Tucker. Tucker goes at Avery, Avery turns around and finally drops the gloves. They then have a good fight with both guys landing some punches. It looked though that Tucker landed more and I would give him the decision. I don't like either of these guys but they know how to do their job. Watch the YouTube video of their fight below.

In the Oilers-Blackhawks game Zack Stortini and Martin Lapointe had another fight, but this one wasn't a hugfest as their previous fight was. Off a faceoff Lapointe skated right over to Stortini and dropped the gloves. Stortini then dropped the gloves and Lapointe started throwing some big punches at Stortini. It was all Lapointe in the beginning but Stortini came back at the end. I would give Lapointe the win in this fight as he looked to land more punches.

Saturday looked like fight night with 8 fights

This past Saturday again proved once again that Saturdays are fight night in hockey. In the Bruins-Rangers game there were three fights, with Jeremy Reich dropping the gloves twice. First there was Reich vs David Liffiton with maybe Liffiton getting the edge in that one. Later Chuck Kobasew and Ryan Callahan had a wrestling match which was a draw. Reich's second fight in the game was against Ryan Hollweg which was a good one. Both guys looked to land a few, but Reich got the better of Hollweg and I give the edge to Reich in that fight. View a nice picture below of their fight.

In the Hurricanes-Devils game, Craig Adams and Johnny Oduya had a spirited bout right off a center ice faceoff. Both guys exchanged punches and I give the edge to Adams, but I think it could be called a draw. In the Avalanche-Coyotes game, Mark Rycroft and Daniel Carcillo dropped the gloves in a spirited bout where Carcillo looked to land the only punches. Decision to Carcillo, who has played well since being called up by Gretzky and Co. In the Blue Jackets-Kings game, Dustin Brown layed out Klesla with a big hit and Alexander Svitov instigated a fight with him. I would give that one a draw, but Brown did have red marks on his face after the fight. In the Blues-Oilers game, Matt Walker and Jean-Francois Jacques dropped the gloves and had an ok fight where not much looked to land but they exchanged punches. I would give that one a draw, maybe edge to Walker.

In the Maple Leafs-Canadiens game Darcy Tucker and Francis Bouillon had a rematch where Bouillon had the edge early because he had his shield/helmet on. Decision/edge goes to Bouillon. He's really brave fighting with the shield on. A piece of Canadiens fairy trash. He's right there with fairy dive artists Mike Ribeiro and Andrei Markov. If you remember, earlier this season, Bouillon knocked down Tucker with one punch when Tucker wasn't ready and still had his gloves on. You can view that fight and their fight from Saturday night below.
