Eric Godard vs David Koci Apr 7, 2009
Despite this fight’s relatively anti-climatic ending, it is a perfect fight of the week on which to end the 08/09 regular season. It involves a pairing of two of the better heavyweights in today’s NHL, one in David Koci who was stirring the pot by harassing the Penguins’ Maxime Talbot the length of the ice, the other in the form of Eric Godard, performing the role of enforcer to a T by intervening in the aforementioned abuse and taking Koci to task. Godard wasted no time, firing off five quick rights to punish Koci. After a Koci right they lose their balance and bounce back up, trading right hands until they get into the spin cycle and the officials break things up.
