In today's Rangers-Canadiens game we had some action. First Kovalev got away with an elbow to Ryan Hollweg's head. So Hollweg loses his cool and later hits Kostitsyn from behind into the boards. Kostitsyn looks hurt at first but gets up slowly and comes back later to play in the game. After the hit was made Josh Georges tries to go at Hollweg, and it looks like Hollweg tries to go after Saku Koivu. Colton Orr and Francis Bouillon got together and traded punches but nothing much landed (Bouillon wears a visor). Watch all of this below.

Preseason Rangers vs Islanders brawl
In case you missed it earlier this week, the Rangers and Islanders had a preseason games with lots of fights and even a line brawl with the goalies fighting as well. Rick DiPietro and Al Montoya dropped their goalie equipment and had a short fight. Check out the YouTube video below. The NHL season is almost here!

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.

Chris Simon hits Ryan Hollweg with his stick
If you're a hockey fan then you have probably already seen it. Of course I'm talking about the dirty cheapshot by Chris Simon on Ryan Hollweg last night. Simon got hit into the boards by Hollweg and then when Simon got up and saw Hollweg skating near him he swung his stick with two hands at Hollweg up high which caught Hollweg in the mouth/facial area and Hollweg went down to the ice. We haven't seen something like that since the Marty McSorley-Donald Brashear incident I believe. I think Simon will be suspended for a long time for this. What do you think? Will the new NHL make Simon an example for future stuff like this? Since the NHL seems that they want all the rough stuff gone from the game they may suspend Simon for the rest of the season and maybe longer. View the YouTube video of the Simon cheapshot on Hollweg below.

Catching up on hockey fights earlier this week
Time to catch up on the hockey fights that happened earlier this week. On Sunday there were two hockey fights. In the Blackhawks-Rangers game Martin Lapointe put a pounding on Ryan Hollweg. Decision to Lapointe in that fight. In the Sharks-Stars game, Kyle McLaren layed out Hagman with a good hard check. A little later Stars' tough guy Krys Barch challenged McLaren and they went at it. McLaren looked to get the better slightly in that one. I would give a slight edge to McLaren in that fight.
On Monday there was only one hockey fight but it was a spirited one. In the Bruins-Flyers game, Paul Mara and Mike Richards got into a scrum. Then later in the game, off a faceoff after a Bruins' goal, they throw down the gloves and go at it. They both exchanged some good punches. I would give Mara the edge, maybe call this a draw. Either way it was a good fight between two guys who don't fight that much, although this was Richards second fight in as many games. Watch the Mara-Richards fight below.

Three good fights, one veteran teaches a rookie
There were three hockey fights last night and they were all pretty good and entertaining. The best fight though from last night was Sabres' enforcer Andrew Peters vs Oilers' rookie tough guy Zack Stortini. Peters had the upper hand during the entire fight and threw some bombs. Stortini managed to wrestle Peters down to the ice to stop the beating he took. Win to Peters in their bout. View the video of the fight below.
In the Rangers-Hurricanes game, Ryan Hollweg had a fight against Mike Commodore. Commodore was winning at the start of the fight but Hollweg came back at the end to give this one a draw, maybe slight edge to Hollweg. In the Ducks-Coyotes game, I was hoping for Georges Laraque or Josh Gratton to fight a Ducks player but that did not happen. Instead Ducks' defenseman Francois Beauchemin and Coyotes defenseman Nick Boynton dropped the gloves and had a good fight. Not many punches seemed to land but both guys were throwing. I gave that fight a draw.

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.

Colton Orr provides punch for Rangers and more
Last night one of my favorite tough guys had a good game. New York Rangers' Colton Orr scored a goal, the first in his career and also got into a fight in the game against Tampa Bay Lightning' Andre Roy. Colton Orr won this fight and is now 2-0 against Roy in his career. When Orr was with the Boston Bruins he fought Roy, who was with the Pittsburgh Penguins, and literally broke his face. On Saturday I'm hoping for a Orr vs Brashear matchup.
Also in the Lightning-Rangers game there was a short uneventful fight with Ryan Craig and Ryan Hollweg going at it. I would give it a draw. In the Blackhawks-Oilers game Martin Lapointe and Zack Stortini got into a fight but they held each other close and traded noogie shots before Lapointe threw Stortini down to the ice. I would give that fight a draw.

Friday night at the fights, hockey fights that is
Last night there were three fights, nothing great but some spirited action. With the Boston Bruins getting killed by the Toronto Maple Leafs 10-2 you would expect more rough stuff that what happened last night. Brendan Bell and Shean Donovan dropped the gloves and had a little fight where it looked to be a draw. Donovan looked to have a bloody nose after the fight. Ben Eager and Ryan Hollweg went at it in the Flyers-Rangers game. That was probably the best fight of the night and I would give it a draw. And the Panthers-Flames game had All-Star sniper Jarome Iginla dropping the gloves with big defenseman Bryan Allen (who use to play with the Vancouver Canucks). I would give the edge to Iginla in that fight, but I don't any punches landed by both guys.
