George Parros vs David Koci

There was a big heavyweight fight last night with Ducks' George Parros and Blackhawks' David Koci throwing bombs at each other. Koci left the fight with a bloody nose. I think Parros got the edge in that fight. Watch it below.

Boogaard gets some revenge on May

Sunday night in the Wild-Ducks game we all knew something was going to happen but not sure who would fight who. We all knew Derek Boogaard was going to try and get Brad May to fight and avenge the May KO'ing Kim Johnsson incident in last year's playoffs series between the Wild and Ducks. I wasn't sure if May would drop the gloves with him but he did and hung in there for as long as he could. A little later Ryan Getzlaf handled Nick Schultz well. Even later, George Parros dropped the gloves with Boogaard after Boogaard crashed into Ducks' goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere. Parros held his own and did better than I thought but I would give it a draw. You can watch and download these three fights on a post on Adam's Hockey Site Forum.

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.

Big fight with Parros vs Koci

Last night everyone was looking towards the Ducks-Blackhawks game because of their previous meeting where a couple of fights broke out. I thought the same would happen and I was semi-right with one good bout and a crap fight. First Brad May and Danny Richmond dropped the gloves off a faceoff and tried to fight but they both went down to the ice quickly. Not many punches thrown but it looked like May threw some. I have heard that his doctor told him not to fight because his shoulder couldn't take it, but last night it didn't look that way. Later in the game, George Parros and David Koci had a rematch and it was pretty good with Koci getting the edge. He looked to land some big punches and Parros also got some in there. Watch the YouTube video of the fight below.

Also last night in the Hurricanes-Flyers game, Mike Commodore and Ben Eager dropped the gloves near the end of the second period but it wasn't much of a fight as both guys looked tired and only threw a few punches each. I give this one a draw.

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.

Thursday and Friday fight roundup

I didn't have time to post about Thursday and Friday's fights until now so here we go. Thursday night there were four hockey fights. Panthers' Alexei Semenov and Flyers' Todd Fedoruk had a wrestling match where both guys didn't throw many punches and Semenov somehow fell down to the ice. I give that one a draw. In the Canadiens-Thrashers game, Francis Bouillon put a dirty knee-on-knee hit on Marian Hossa and Keith Tkachuk went after him. They both exchanged some good punches but Tkachuk got in the last punch that sent Bouillon down to the ice. Tkachuk gets the TKO win there. Watch the YouTube video of this fight below.

Francis Bouillon vs Keith Tkachuk

In the Flames-Predators game, Robyn Regehr and Jordin Tootoo had a battle where both guys threw punches and Regehr went down from losing his balance I think. I would maybe give a slight edge to Tootoo in this one, or a draw. In the Stars-Blues game, Barrett Jackman kept following Eric Lindros around the ice challenging him to fight and finally Lindros came back with a cross-check and then they dropped the gloves and had a wrestling match with not many punches thrown at all. I give this one a draw.

On Friday there were three fights. First there was Hurricanes' Tim Gleason and Capitals' Ben Clymer going at it in a short fight where not many punches were thrown. Clymer bumped into the Hurricanes' goalie which caused this fight. Draw in this one because no one landed anything, Gleason did throw two punches but both missed. In the Wild-Sabres game, Stephane Veilleux and Patrick Kaleta grab a hold of each other and drop the gloves in front of the Sabres bench after a scrum. Veilleux throws lefts and Veilleux throws rights. Veilleux eventually wrestles Kaleta down to the ice. I give this one a draw.

In the Oilers-Ducks game Zack Stortini and George Parros had some talking early in the game but Stortini declined the challenge from Parros. Later, Parros layed out an Oilers player and Stortini came in with gloves off after Parros. Stortini holds Parros in tight and it looks like Parros is trying to get free and apart from Stortini so they can fight but Stortini keeps the hug on a la Donald Brashear. They eventually go down to the ice. This one was a draw as not much happened. I don't know why Stortini drops the gloves and wants to go with Parros and then just hugs him the whole time. Protect your teammates and fight, don't hug. Maybe Stortini has new NHL syndrome?

Darcy Hordichuk vs George Parros highlight of the night

There were two hockey fights yesterday. The first was between Sharks' Mark Bell and Stars' Krys Barch. Barch got the edge as he threw most of the punches and Bell's jersey got over his head so he couldn't see much during the later parts of the fight. The other fight was a good one between Predators' Darcy Hordichuk and Ducks' George Parros. Hordichuk and Parros exchange lots of right hands. Parros looks like he landed a few and got the better of Hordichuk as Hordichuk lost his balance and went down to the ice. I give the decision to Parros in this fight.

Scott Parker and George Parros rumble again

Last night there were only two fights. Sharks' Scott Parker had a rematch with Ducks' George Parros, which turned out to be better than Tuesdays' fight they had. Still nothing looked to cleanly land but at least it lasted for longer than 10 seconds. I gave their fight a draw. The other fight that happened last night was between Canucks' Kevin Bieksa and Blackhawks' Karl Stewart. It was all Bieksa in that one as Bieksa had a good hold on him and Stewart looked to be tied up with his jersey. Bieksa threw some bombs that missed Stewart, if he would have caught him, Stewart would have went down. Bieksa I believe still has not lost a fight in the NHL in his career.

Woops excuse me, as I look at Kevin Bieksa's NHL fight card it looks like he has one loss and that came in the pre-season this year against the Ducks' Travis Moen. So Bieksa is 7-1-3 so far in his NHL career in fighting. That's pretty good.

Karl Stewart vs Kevin Bieksa

Look at everyone in the stands on their feet watching Stewart and Bieksa go at it. And there are some that say people don't like fighting in the NHL. Hello, look at the picture, everyone is standing and watching. No one goes to get a hot dog when a fight is going on.

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.

Andrew Ladd vs Craig Rivet

One fight: Godard vs Parros

With the Flames recalling enforcer Eric Godard I thought that there would probably be some fisticuffs in the Flames game against the Ducks last night and I wasn't wrong. Eric Godard and George Parros dropped the gloves in a rather uneventful fight as Parros couldn't keep his balance, which he is known for, and went down to the ice as Godard didn't throw any late punches on Parros while he was down. Decision goes to Godard, and Godard is now 2-0 this season.

Later tonight the Flames play the Edmonton Oilers and Godard will probably be playing. The Oilers recently called up tough guy Zack Stortini because they have been getting roughed up by teams. I expect Godard and Stortini to have a "go" tonight. They have fought before, before this season started-in the pre-season.

Blues and Ducks go at it

Last night was a good night in the hockey fight department. With the St. Louis Blues recalling tough guy D.J. King once again and with the Blues facing the Anaheim Ducks we all knew that there had to be something in this game. And we were right because D.J. King dropped the gloves with Shawn Thornton and I would give King the win/edge in their fight. Later in the game Matt Walker and George Parros had a heavyweight bout. It wasn't much of a fight though because Walker lossed his balance and couldn't stay up. I would give it a draw/maybe an edge to Parros. Also yesterday Jeff Cowan and Aaron Downey fought.

In the Islanders-Penguins game, the Islanders tough defenseman Brendan Witt layed out Sydney Crosby with a huge hit. Then Ryan Whitney came over and went at Witt and also Ryan Malone came over. Witt and Malone got their gloves off and went at it in a not-so-interesting fight. Good to see Crosby's teammates standing up for him and a good hit by Witt.

Jody Shelley vs George Parros

There was only one hockey fight last night and it was a good one with the Columbus Blue Jackets' Jody Shelley vs the Anaheim Ducks' George Parros. You can view the YouTube video of it below. Shelley bloodied Parros's nose and sent him down to the ice with a huge punch.
