Mar 12, 2004	Chicago Blackhawks	Travis Moen
2pd 08:45	Washington Capitals	Rick Berry
When the camera gets there, they are squaring off at center ice. Each player grabs on with the left. They both throw simultaneous lefts while holding onto each other's jersey. Both lefts land, but have little force behind them. They enter the spin-cycle and Moen tries a right that hits Berry's left shoulder. The spinning caused Berry to go to a knee and Moen tries another right while he's getting up that hits Berry's helmet. They straighten back up and both players have a hold with the left hand still. After a couple of seconds with nothing happening, Berry looks to surprise Moen with a left while holding onto Moen's jersey. Berry's left jars Moens head back. Moen tries to answer with a quick right that hits Berry's left shoulder. Berry responds with a right of his own that hits Moen's left shoulder. Berry then lands another right to Moen's shoulder and they start to go into the spin-cycle again. Moen tries a left while holding onto Berry's jersey, but it comes up short. Moen then tries a right that comes up short. Still in the spin-cycle and Berry tries a right that hits Moen's shoulder. Moen comes back with a right to Berry's helmet. Berry goes with the right again and gets nothing but helmet. They exit the spin-cycle just in time for Moen to throw a right that hits nothing but helmet. Berry tries to come over the top with a right, but it comes up short by a foot. They grapple for a second or two. Moen hits Berry's helmet again with a right. They then throw simultaneous rights. Berry's was pretty short, but looked like it landed flush, while Moen's right knocked Berry's helmet off. Moen then lands a right to the side of Berry's head. Berry then tries three left jersey-punches, all coming up short. They then decide to enter the spin-cycle for a third time. Berry tries a right that hits Moen's left shoulder. They come out of the spin cycle and start to grapple in-close. The linesmen decide they've had enough and come in. Other Penalties: Mark Bell received a roughing.

2pd 05:42	Washington Capitals	Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre
Alexander Semin takes an extra jab at Adam Munro after he freezes the puck, prompting Mark Bell to give him a gloved punch to the back of the head. A scrum ensues and out of it come Vandermeer and Grand-Pierre already throwing punches. Vandermeer throws a right to start things off and Grand-Pierre returns fire with four straight rights. Vandermeer throws a couple of short rights and Grand-Pierre attempts two locked-out rights in response. Vandermeer counters with another right. Grand-Pierre misses with a right cross and Vandermeer takes advantage by throwing a flurry of five rights. They struggle to get loose for a moment until Grand-Pierre gets free and throws a right cross. Vandermeer returns fire with a right of his own to a smiling Grand-Pierre. They then go toe-to-toe with rights for a short while. Vandermeer throws two overhand lefts that come up short. Vandermeer then follows up with two right jabs and a left that connect just before the linesmen decide to intervene.

2pd 10:15	New Jersey Devils	Grant Marshall
After Leighton freezes the puck Vandy and Grant give a couple of love taps and then each guy quickly drops the gloves with Marshall throwing a good quick shot and Vandy responding with his own. Great long fight with each man getting in some solid shots to the face. Marshall landed two beauties on the button, but all Vandy did was smile and throw two harder ones back at Grant. Both men agree to stop to end it.

2pd 05:32	New Jersey Devils	Turner Stevenson
Stevenson lightly checks Strudwick along the boards. They give each other shots and then grab on. Pretty long fight with not too many power-punches thrown. Each man maybe landed one half-way solid punch. Many to the helmet before they hit the ice.

He gets back up with a bare back and tries to go back at Belak, but the linesmen have both men under control. Other Penalties: Belak received a charging; Focht an instigator and misconduct.

Mar 11, 2004	Ottawa Senators	Chris Neil
1pd 02:29	Calgary Flames	Krzysztof Oliwa
When the camera gets there these two have a hold of each other with the rights cocked back. Oliwa opens up with two hard rights. The first hits Neil's helmet and the second one might have grazed Neil's face. Neil tries answering back with his own right that hits Oliwa's shoulder. Oliwa goes with two more rights. The first catches nothing but air and the second one once again grazes Neil's face. Neil then lands a right flush to Oliwa's face. The right sends Oliwa to a knee. Oliwa gets right back up, and Neil throws a right that hits the back of Oliwa's head. Oliwa comes back with a right of his own that Neil ducks under. After Neil ducks Oliwa's right, Oliwa becomes off-balance and Neil lands a short right to Oliwa's face or shoulder. Neil then throws another right that glances off the side of Oliwa's head. They do a 180 and Oliwa throws a right that hits Neil's helmet. Neil answers with a weak right to Oliwa's shoulder. Oliwa then goes with a right to the body. Neil comes back with a weak right the back of Oliwa's neck. Neil then throws another right that glances off Oliwa's shoulder that looks like it makes weak contact to Oliwa's face. Oliwa comes back with a right to Neil's helmet. They start to grapple and come in-close. Neil tries a weak right that hits Oliwa's back. Oliwa then loses his balance. Neil tries a right uppercut while Oliwa is getting up, but it comes up short. Oliwa gets back to his feet and they resume grappling. Oliwa tries a very short right that hits Neil's helmet. They continue to grapple for around 5 to 10 seconds. The linesmen start to come in, but Oliwa doesn't want it to be over yet. Oliwa gets some separation from Neil and throws two rights to the side of Neil's head or helmet. Neil then throws a right to Oliwa's body. Oliwa throws another right to the side of Neil's head or helmet. Neil comes back with a left that hits Oliwa's shoulder. They then mutually decide to stop throwing and the linesmen come in.

Mar 11, 2004	Boston Bruins	Hal Gill
2pd 06:50	Buffalo Sabres	Adam Mair
Mair and Gill collide, Gills get the stick up. Mair gives him a gloved shot, challenges him, and Gill obliges. Mair throws a left as they spin, and Gill has his right free, but awkwardly doesn't throw. Mair ducks a right and tags him with a big left, the one that probably opened up the cut on Gill's cheek. A few more lefts, and Gill finally decides to do something and use his reach, throwing a flurry of rights. Mair gets a good laugh out of that, and they go down with Gill on top. Other Penalties: Gill received a high sticking.

Mar 11, 2004	Boston Bruins	Doug Doull
1pd 06:05	Buffalo Sabres	Andrew Peters
They square off behind the play. Doull lands an early punch that sends the helmet of Peters flying. They each exchange and land good rights, with Peters in more control at times, throwing jabs (not as much damaging as they are annoying) to the side of Doull's face as he waits out flurries to get an opportunity to throw punches back. He pops up with hard punches and Peters has balance issues at time. Peters briefly switched to the left and also got in some good right uppercuts. Fight ends when Doull gets hunched over and the linesmen come in.

Mar 10, 2004	Minnesota Wild	Matt Johnson
1pd 01:11	Vancouver Canucks	Wade Brookbank
Right off the faceoff they drop 'em and get in tight. Brookbank gets the right going and it looks as if he may have landed a couple. While this was goin on, Johnson throws some rights of his own and then they go into hug mode. They end up against the boards and Johnson has Brookbank leaned over the bench a little. He starts to toss some lefts in tight and Brookbank may have eaten a couple of them on the side of the head. Both fighters are in an awkward position by the Vancouver bench and the fight is broken up. Johnson skates away with a small cut on the bridge of his nose.

Mar 10, 2004	Buffalo Sabres	Brad Brown
1pd 04:43	Washington Capitals	Rick Berry
Doesn’t take Brown long to get into his first fight as a Sabre. He and Berry joust behind the play. They drop the gloves and grab on. Brown throws a right, then they separate and square off. They come together and Brown fires rights at Berry, who’s ducking to avoid them. He straightens up and they go toe to toe with rights, each landing some nice ones. Brown lands a heavy right to the side of the head and Berry decides to take it in-close. He lifts Brown’s jersey in front of his face (tearing it) and throws a right or two as the linesemen jump in.

When the camera gets there, they trade some weak punches, hard to tell what landed because of the angle. Barnaby gets control and Moreau is ducking. Then Barnaby lands several rights to the back of Moreau's head as he is ducking. Moreau tries to throw some more, but is winded and the linesmen come in.

2pd 14:02	San Jose Sharks	Scott Thornton
At center ice, away from the puck they come together quickly. The gloves come off and there is no square off. Johnson throws the first punch, which looked to miss and Thornton goes down and gets back up. Johnson looks to really load up. They both toss a couple of wild rights. Can't tell what landed, or the effect, but Thornton wound up on the ice with his knees bent and his head down.
