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.

Tough guy Shawn Thornton signs with Bruins
Bruins' fans should be excited that the Bruins were able to sign tough guy Shawn Thornton. He was probably the most sought-after tough guy available. A lot of people I think underrate Thornton's fighting abilities. He is one of the very few that has edged Georges Laraque, who is the heavyweight champ in the NHL. Watch the video clip below of Shawn Thornton edging Georges Laraque back in 2004.

Not many fights in playoffs
It's been a while since I've last posted. There hasn't been much since Flames' Dion Phaneuf and Red Wings' Todd Bertuzzi had their wrestling match. Although the Ducks' Shawn Thornton and Red Wings' Danny Markov had a short fight if you want to call it that. And in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals there was a big scrum with Senators' Mike Fisher and Ducks' Ryan Getzlaf going at it and Senators' Peter Schaefer and Ducks' Dustin Penner wrestling on the ice.

Sharks and Ducks battle it out
Last night the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks played a gritty, playoff-like game that had a fight. The fight was between Ryane Clowe and Shawn Thornton. It started because Thornton hit Sharks' captain Patrick Marleau and Clowe came right over and dropped the gloves. Thornton then dropped his gloves and they tie each other up and both try and throw rights. They continue to try and throw punches, but both look exhausted. I give this one a draw. Watch the YouTube video of this fight below.

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.

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.

A Shark putting down a Coyote
Last night had a few good hockey fights, the best one was with Phoenix Coyotes tough guy Josh Gratton vs San Jose Sharks Rob Davison. Davison layed a beating on Gratton landing almost every punch he threw while Gratton couldn't get going from the start. Watch the video below.
Also last night the Anaheim Ducks-Edmonton Oilers game had two fights. The Ducks now have 45 fighting majors, the most in the league. Behind the Ducks in fighting majors are the St. Louis Blues (28), the Washington Capitals (27), the Nashville Predators (26), and the Phoenix Coyotes (26). In the Ducks-Oilers game, it was Travis Moen vs Matt Greene and then Shawn Thornton vs Mathieu Roy. I would give Thornton the win in his fight with Roy, but I would give the other fight between Moen and Greene a draw. The other fight of the night was between Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer Wade Belak and Florida Panthers defenseman Bryan Allen. I would also give that fight a draw.

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.

The Boogeyman goes down? For real?
What a night Tuesday night was for hockey fight fans. We had a heavyweight bout worth every bit, and a couple of middle/light weight bouts. I'll start off with the heavyweight bout that all hockey fight fans are talking about. With Eric Godard being called up by the Calgary Flames, many knew that there was a good possibility of seeing Derek Boogaard vs Eric Godard. And yes we had our dreams come true! Off a faceoff they drop the gloves and throw away. Boogaard had the edge early but Godard came back with a right that knocks Boogaard off balance and then another right that makes Boogaard off balance more and down to one knee. Then Boogaard gets back to his feet and Godard throws two more rights and Boogaard went down to the ice. What a win for Godard, in his first game from being called up by the Flames. Hopefully he stays up with the Flames and shows more of what he can do with his fists like last night. View the YouTube video below of the fight. You can download a clip of the fight on Adam's Hockey Site.
The middle/light weight fights from last night were Josh Gratton vs Matthew Barnaby and it was all Gratton in that one. The Ducks-Predators game had two fights. The first one was between Shane O'Brien and Jordin Tootoo, in a good spirited bout with the edge going to Tootoo. The second fight was between Shawn Thornton and Darcy Hordichuk with the edge going to Thornton. What a night that was, I hope tonight is just as good.
