Earlier this week fight roundup

On Sunday there were just two fights. In the Lightning-Capitals game, Shane O'Brien and Matt Bradley fought in a spirited bout with O'Brien early and Bradley coming back at the end. I gave that one a draw. In the Coyotes-Stars game, Daniel Carcillo and Krys Barch dropped the gloves and had a round and round we go type of fight. They kept spinning throwing rights when possible. Then they got in tight and exchanged some more punches. It was a long fight that Carcillo looked to hurt his hand and didn't want anymore. They both tired out and the fight was over. Barch skated away with a cut above his left eye with blood dripping down the side of his face. I gave the edge to Barch, but I think you could call it a draw. Good fight nonetheless.

On Tuesday there were three fights, all coming in different games. In the Devils-Maple Leafs game everyone knew Cam Janssen would have to fight somebody because of his hit on Tomas Kaberle in an earlier game. Wade Belak was the one to call out Janssen and they had a long spirited bout with Belak looking to get the edge in that one. In the Blue Jackets-Blackhawks game, Danny Richmond and Manny Malhotra had a hugfest with no punches really being thrown. I was surprised they got fighting majors. In the Panthers-Flyers game, Gregory Campbell instigated a fight with Ben Eager. He shouldn't have done that because Eager gave it to him pretty good. Win to Eager in that one.

Weak Saturday with two fights

Usually Saturdays have a few fights because almost every team plays, but yesterday there was really one fight and the other one went so fast that the television cameras didn't even get it. The fight that was actually televised was between Lightnings' Ryan Craig and Panthers' Gregory Campbell. They had a short spirited bout with Campbell landing a what seemed to be big punch. I would give that one a draw though because it was all Craig at first in the fight. The fight that was missed by both television feeds was between Blue Jackets' Ole-Kristian Tollefsen and Coyotes' Keith Ballard. I have read that it was a quick fight with neither guy landing anything.

Saturday night had fight fever

What a night last night was. There were 8 hockey fights in 14 games last night. Yesterday I wrote about maybe a heavyweight title bout against the Coyotes' Georges Laraque, but we didn't get it last night because the Minnesota Wild scratched Derek Boogaard, so we were robbed of seeing a Boogaard-Laraque fight. Word is that Boogaard either has the flu and that is why he was scratched, or he was scratched by Jacques Lemaire because Lemaire was upset with Boogaard who fought Laraque in their last meeting, which turned around the game.

We'll start off with the Edmonton Oilers-Colorado Avalanche game which had two fights. First Ian Laperriere layed out Ladislav Smid with a good check. Matt Greene didn't like it so he went right after Laperriere and they went at it. Not much of a fight though, it was all wrestling really. The second fight did not include Laperriere for the Avs, what a surprise right? Finally, somebody else on the Avs stood up and dropped the gloves besides Laperriere. Mark Rycroft bumped Oilers' goalie Dwayne Roloson and Ladislav Smid didn't like it, so they exchanged some shoves and nods and off came the gloves. Smid threw all the punches in this fight, nothing looked to cleanly land, but win to Smid in this fight.

In the Los Angeles Kings-Florida Panthers game there were also two fights. The first fight was between Tom Kostopoulos and Chris Gratton. I would give the decision to Gratton in their short bout as he dominated it. Then the guy everyone loves to hate, Sean Avery, got into a fight with Gregory Campbell. I would call that fight a draw.

In the Anaheim Ducks-Nashville Predators game there was action near the end of the game with two fights. First there was Sean O'Donnell and Scott Hartnell going at it in a short fight with O'Donnell mostly getting in shots. Then off to the side while O'Donnell and Hartnell are being broken up by a linesman, Travis Moen and Shea Weber decide to go. Half-way through their fight Weber gets the jersey over Moen's head and Moen throws a blind punch that lands right on Weber's chin that sends Weber down to the ice. Weber was stunned and needed help to get up and off the ice. Wow what a punch by Moen. You got to see that punch, view the video below.

In the Dallas Stars-St. Louis Blues game Krys Barch was back at it again. Barch layed out Ryan Johnson with a big check and Matt Walker came right over to him and away they went. It was a good fight but nothing looked to cleanly land on either player. I would give that fight a draw. Later in the game Barch layed out Blues' Captain Dallas Drake with a good check and Ryan Johnson went after Barch and they had a quick go. It was mostly Barch in that fight and decision to Barch, but good to see Johnson stand up for a teammate (the Bruins should watch that and take a note).

In the Vancouver Canucks-Calgary Flames game Jeff Cowan tried to get Eric Godard to go but Godard kept his gloves on as Cowan dropped them. At that same moment Alex Burrows and Byron Ritchie were getting into it. They dropped the gloves and had a spirited bout with Ritchie getting the upper hand. Decision to Ritchie in their fight. View the video of their fight below.
