Paul Bissonnette vs Mike Rupp

Much like the Rangers, themselves...Rupp has been doing very well recently.

Pretty even between two pretty big boys.

Fighting majors are down this year.

Yes, the big boy fights are getting to become a thing of the past unfortunately. Now we get to watch Daniel Briere and those other big enforcers.

Give the edge to Rupp. Biz Nasty was not going to leave him be, but Rupp answered the challenge

First fight for Bissonnette this season ?
I like Bizz but he should spend more time doing this and less time on Twitter !
LOL.
Draw.

2012 is so far "The Year of Rupp".

draw

Rupp goes in with a right hand lock out. Biz answers with a couple flea-bite left jersey jabs to start off, Rupp locks out that arm as well and then it's each taking turns strategically loosening their grips for bomb attempts. Rupp maybe lands one and Biz maybe one as well. Biz then trades in his balance for a burst of energy and a wilting Rupp takes advantage and leans him down to the ice. A very respectable draw.

Rupp starts well, the Biz comes back with a couple of jersey jabs, Rupper not doing enough for the win so i'm going Draw/edge Rupp.

Also good to see Biz finally drop the gloves, hope we see more.

Draw

Nobody beats the BIZ!

Rupp with an edge in this one. He landed a couple of nice rights but Bissonette hung in there pretty well.

Bout time Bisnasty first fight in a while. not bad draw.

very close but gave the edge to Rupp in a big man fight... if I'm not mistaken this is Bissonnette's first FM of the season? looks to me like enforcers are slowly becoming expendable in the league

good fight by rupp. 6
