Matt Corrente vs Steve Downie

Corrente keeps Downie's right effectively tied up,

as the linesman, uncharacteristically...let things go,

only to awkwardly break them up at the end..


Energetic, if uneventful, draw.

Good scrap. You can almost feel the love for Downie coming from the Devils bench.

That rich Correnten leather.

i get annoyed and antsy watching these tie-ups/no throws. bit of a goof move by corrente to just jump off the bench and go after someone, though i have no idea how far into his shift downie was. regardless... draw...

letsgocaps11: DJ KING. Before you think of ripping on anyone look up DJ KING the most useless fighter in the league. At least Dowine knows what a puck is. Fight was a Draw. He might not win a lot but he will still fight and still produces points on the 2nd line on one of the best teams in the NHL, and one of the teams that will go deeper in the play offs than the cRapitals.

edge Corrente

Draw

Lots of wild swings. Not alot landed. Win Corrente based on what little he did.

Does Downie ever win a fight? The guys is a waste of space in the NHL - no skill, can't win fights, cheap shots galore.

Some shots landed each way, but a lot of holding. Caled it a draw...

Energetic bout, a bit surprised the aggressive Corrente didn't get an instigator coming straight off the bench. The best bit of the fight was when both guys were down on the ice, and Downie landed two really strong rights. Draw, but entertaining, after watching the start I thought this might get rough, but mostly tie-ups, wrestling and a sweater over the face.

edge to Corrente though my feeling that Downie is still the NHL's biggest douche bag is probably impeding my judgement.

devils suck this year, to pittsburgh's chagrin. def. draw tho. i think corrente was hurt

Draw and a 2.
Corrente might land a few but he clearly goes into lock down mode at the 0:21. Downie calls off the refs, but nothing comes of it. Next?

I am never impressed with punches being thrown when players are down like at the start of this one, however the moral high road never wins fights so it does not effect who won. Downie is just less likable because of the punch to Corrente's head when he was down.
