The fight thread

[goaliemanshark 6]

Yea once Mclaren got his hand free of the jersey he went to town! The tap on the back saying "good fight" was funny...

Also Mclaren wears farrell!

I hate seeing the "good fight" tap. Usually means the fight had zero to do with the emotion of the game.

Hall Gill vs. Rick Rypien, 6'7" vs 5'11"

I couldn't agree more

So Gill has already matched is fight total from his time in Pitt. He got worked in that one too.

now all we need is brian gionta (5'7) to fight chara (6'9) - but i dont see that happening any time soon

[Leafsrule16 5]

I'm really leaning towards Rypien as one of my favorites right now, hes not a big guy by any standards but he fights with heart and technique, reminds me a lot of P.J Stock.

How about Iggy last night? He was working the other guy over pretty good too.

Derek Boogaard hands down the best fighter in the NHL. He may not be a good hockey player but the guy can throw them!

Wow, Colton Orr knocks Matt Carkner saturday:

Then eats one on the button from Shelley 2 days later:

See round one? Orr put him down in a similar fashion. Orr is a beast, huge fan.

[Fire0nIce228 1]

This must be round two, cause Carkner got the better of him on this one..

So 2 rounds to one, winner to Colton Orr? Something tells me these guys will see eachother again next season :)

Fixed it for you.

Fixed it for you.

Thanks, i hadn't noticed the problem. Anyway, i don't know much about this Shelley guy but he sure looked tough in this one...

Tonigh, Donald Brashear vs Colton Orr: Oh my, have you seen Brashear crush this poor guy? Looked liked 2 different leagues in there, is Colton Orr considered a good fighter?

Did you see Orr fight Jody Shelly from San Jose recently?? that may answer your question. Although, he did crush Carkner the game before, Orr got the bomb against Shelly

Is there a "like" button on here? I need a "like" button...

He needs to get his ass kicked for the antics afterwards. If Kaletta can fight, why does he always refuse every other time he gets challenged?

I agree about his post fight antics. Also, here's a tip for Mr. Kaletta, if you land about a dozen straight punches in a fight and the other guy is still coming at you then you're really not a good fighter.

Kaleta is one step below Matt Cooke for biggest piece of shit in the league. He deserves to be taken out even more now.

As a Sabres fan, I have a clear bias, but in my opinion that is not even close to true. What makes you say that?

I've seen guys do much worse, I think this was an adrenaline rush in the heat of the moment kinda thing. This was an intense game (3 fights, numerous big/borderline dirty hits and a lot of guys sticking up for their teammates). Kaleta's role isn't to fight, he's more of an agitator/grinder/3rd line energy guy, not a fighter. Just because you can fight doesn't mean you should drop the mitts every other game or aren't a tough kid.

Kaleta is one step below Matt Cooke for biggest piece of shit in the league. He deserves to be taken out even more now.

Completely disagree with this. Cooke is a cheap shot artist, Kaleta is a pest. Yes he's there to piss off other teams, and fans like yourself, but I wouldn't put him in the same category as Cooke.

Agreed, if you want to pull the Tie Domi "put on the championship belt" type antics, then you have to answer the bell like a Tie Domi or Bob Probert.
