Sunday night roundup

On Sunday there were six fights, and three of those were in one game. First, in the Bruins-Red Wings game Jeremy Reich and Darryl Bootland had a spirited bout with Reich getting the decision. In the Kings-Stars game, there were two fights. The first one was a short one with Jeff Halpern instigating a fight with Dustin Brown after Brown hit Mike Modano. No winner here as it wasn't much of a fight. Later Tom Kostopoulos and Krys Barch had a fight where it was mostly all Barch throwing punches. Decision to Barch.

In the Canucks-Ducks game there were three fights, all in the first period. First Kevin Bieksa instigated a fight with Dustin Penner after Penner hit a Canucks player hard into the boards. It was all Bieksa as Penner lost his balance and Bieksa got in some good punches on Penner. Decision to Bieksa. Later Jeff Cowan and Shawn Thornton dropped the gloves and Cowan looked off balance and it was all Thornton in that fight. Decision to Thornton. Later in the first period Jeff Cowan and Joe DiPenta dropped the gloves and it was all Cowan as he right at DiPenta with lefts and DiPenta fell backwards to give the decision to Cowan.

Stars vs Ducks had three hockey fights

Yesterday there were three fights and they were all in the Dallas Stars vs Anaheim Ducks game. Stars' rookie Krys Barch first got into a pretty good fight with Ducks' defenseman Shane O'Brien. At the end of the first period Steve Ott and Corey Perry got into a little pile up. While that was going on, Barch pulled Chris Pronger away from the pile to get a piece of him. Pronger looked like he didn't want to go, that's until Barch threw a short jab at Pronger. Pronger then got his right hand going, and he wrestled Barch down to the ice. The third fight happened late in the third period after Steve Ott gave a Ducks player a good hit against the boards, Joe DiPenta came over and challenged him. They dropped the gloves and it was all DiPenta. Good game, I wish more game were like this one.
