Sean Avery vs Mike Mottau

Motteau offers the lid toss, and Avery, as expected, declines.

Unfortunately, the initial, genuine hostility disappeared quickly,
as the ''fight'' slowly disintigrated, into an awkward draw,
This, despite the fact that, even some Ranger fans,
were quietly cheering for an Islander KO victory.

Attaboy, Motts, give him one for me!

Love how Avery picks his fights. Mottau fights about as often as George Foreman these days. But to his credit, Avery ate crow and did his stint in the minors. He scored the opening goal last night.

That was a draw -- I bet that a fair number of people will call this for Mottau due to the un-likability of Avery

If I didn't know any better, Mottau's fighting style reminds me of my boy Kostopoulos.
He does ok here but will give the egde to Avery.

I have to give it Mottau on a very close card...

Ya notice how Avery will stand up and fights a guy who doesn"t fight.....The boys a douche plain and simple

win M&M

Avery's a punk. Always was, Always will be. Thats my Mottau.

One landed punch each - and that's being generous - precededed by many long seconds of grappling. Draw and a 3.

always good to see AVERY come up short, ISLANDERS in for a long season if they dont get some grit .RANGER fans are blinded by their love of this kid .he picks his spots and still loses ,i watched this 5 or 6 times .AVERY landed none .and took a few for his trouble.

Win Mottau. Thought he landed the better shots.

edge mottau

draw and a 5.

Obviously both sides of the New York faithfuls weighing in on this bout. Sorry to inform you, your guy didn't win..........DRAW

Mottau with the better shot landed! Seemed like both guys were scared to get hit.....if they truly were pissed at each other then frickin' do it!!!!!
