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.

Georges Laraque vs Donald Brashear
This may be fight of the year now, with Penguins' Georges Laraque and Capitals' Donald Brashear dropping the gloves and dropping each other on the ice. What a fight they had tonight and I would give the edge to Brashear in this one, but I've been thinking this may be a draw. If the linesmen came in after Laraque knocked down Brashear twice, wouldn't Laraque get the win? But they didn't and Brashear knocked down Laraque with a punch and then the linesmen came in. Laraque got right back up so he wasn't hurt from it. So what would you call it? Who gets the win? Leave a comment on what you think. Watch the fight below, courtesy of a member on hockeyfights.com.

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.
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.

Georges Laraque vs Donald Brashear
Well hockey fight fans were looking for the Georges Laraque vs Donald Brashear matchup on Tuesday night and we got it. The heavyweight title was on the line but the fight wasn't much as both guys got in some quick punches at the start but they went down quick. I give this fight a draw. View the YouTube video of the fight below.
Also on Tuesday, in the Blue Jackets-Blues game, Jody Shelley and rookie D.J. King had an ok fight with King getting in a lot of jersey jabs and throwing most of the punches. Anyone else think Shelley has had an ok to bad year in fighting this year? He hasn't done as well as previous years. In the Oilers-Predators game there were two fights and Oilers veteran defenseman Jason Smith was in both of them. First Smith fought Ramzi Abid in a spirited bout with not many punches landing but both guys looked heated. Later in the game, Darcy Hordichuk layed out Smid with a hit and Smith came right in and they dropped the gloves. Both guys threw some punches and Hordichuk got the takedown at the end. Hordichuk's tiedown ripped and his jersey came off and for some reason the referees thought he wasn't tied down so they threw him out of the game. The television replays showed the tiedown so the referees messed up on that call. Maybe they threw him out because he's a tough guy?

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.

Saturday was another good day for hockey fights
Another good Saturday with tons of hockey action. There were a total of 7 hockey fights last night. Most notably was the fight between Penguins' Ronald Petrovicky and Maple Leafs' Kris Newbury. Petrovicky sent Newbury down to the ice with a punch and Newbury hit his head on the ice. Newbury had to be carried off the ice on a stretcher. I don't know if he was out before hitting his head on the ice or not. I have not seen the fight yet but have heard from several people what happened.
In the Ducks-Stars game Shawn Thornton and Krys Barch went at it off a faceoff early in the game. They both traded punches but not much looked to land. I gave this one a draw. Watch the fight below.
In the Rangers-Capitals game Ryan Hollweg got his second fight in his second straight game as he took on Brian Sutherby because Sutherby bumped into the Rangers goalie. It was mostly Sutherby in this fight as he threw some good shots, but only one or two looked to land. Decision to Sutherby. Later in the game off a faceoff Colton Orr challenged Donald Brashear and they dropped the gloves. Orr started throwing rights as Brashear tries to tie up Orr. Brashear puts the bear hug move on as usual, then gets Orr of balance and throws lefts as Orr falls to the ice. This was also Orr's second fight in his second straight game. I would give this a slight edge to Brashear.
In the Senators-Canadiens game Chris Neil and Mike Komisarek had a short fight. Komisarek threw a punch and then Neil wrestled him to the ice and threw two punches on their way down. I give this fight a draw. In the Kings-Predators game Tom Kostopoulos and Sheldon Brookbank fought and exchanged some punches. I give that one a draw. Also in this game Derek Armstrong and Vernon Fiddler went at it. Not much of a fight as they went down fast. This one was also a draw.

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).

Rangers vs Capitals, in case you missed it
In case you missed what happened between the New York Rangers and the Washington Capitals on December 30th, well you missed some good old-time hockey action. Donald Brashear and Colton Orr got into a fight with Brashear getting the win over Orr. Some think Brashear knocked down Orr with a punch but if you watch it again Orr falls down before Brashear's punch lands. I too thought it was a knockdown at first watch, but I re-watched it a few times.
Donald Brashear gave Jaromir Jagr a few shots and Brendan Shanahan didn't like it and yelled at Brashear from the bench. Later, after the puck dropped on a faceoff, Brashear and Shanahan dropped the gloves after Shanahan challenged Brashear. Their fight wasn't much, a lot of hugging and grappling (as we are use to with Brashear), but I would give the edge to Brashear as he threw more punches than Shanahan. After the fight, on his way to the penalty box, Brashear sucker punched Rangers defenseman Aaron Ward and Ward went down to the ice. Apparently he asked Brashear a question, according to Ward, Brashear has not said anything about the incident.
Later, Rangers tough guy Colton Orr gave Capitals All-Star Alexander Ovechkin a high cross-check on a late hit. Capitals defenseman Shaone Morrison went after Orr and they dropped the gloves. It was all Orr in this fight, as it wasn't much of a fight.
A day after this game, Rangers Colton Orr was suspended for 5 games and Capitals Donald Brashear was suspended for 1 game. You can watch a video of all of these incidents below. The video is courtesy of HockeyFights.com and YouTube.com.
