Paul Bissonnette vs Mike Rupp

Edge Rupp landed more and cleaner. Decent scrap but.

Plenty of homer Ranger fans out today to give Rupp 51% of a total draw fight which actually has Biz connecting more.

Good grief.

Couple old Pens facing off. Bizz hasnt played hardly at all this year and shows some rust and Rupp has been fightin a lot more since the move from the Burgh to NY.

Draw

Even tilt. Glad this feed wasn't from the Phoenix commentators because they are so biased in favor of their Coyotes that it's embarrassing to be a fan...

biznasty gets ass rocked to bad

Rupp with the win.

To the guys who have commented below me, I absolutely agree. The role of the enforcer is all but extinct.

Looking around the league, how many guys can you say are only on the team because of their fighting? Bissonnette? Jackman? The new era of fighting in the NHL will consist of 3rd or 4th liners who can play a physical, tough game, yet still be a valuable asset in other areas. Guys like Prust, Janssen, Rinaldo, Tootoo, etc.

Edge to Rupp.

-Watchin' the Pro Sports scene slowly but surely eliminate the big man. Pro football is following in the footsteps of Pro Hockey...elimiante hard hitting and the rough stuff. The "playing surface one day will have all the intensity and hostility of a game of checkers !!!!

Biz, c'mon man. You are a better fighter than that. Wonderful camera angles and you blew it!

ClowStaubi- the game is so boring without fighting, passion, and players doing their own policing. I don't even watch anymore, I just come to hockeyfights.com. Might as well just move to sweden, and watch boring players and boring hockey. Draw

OK, an ever so slight edge to Rupp, this time !!! Lets not forget that Rupp is not a great fighter, just a big body who, when needs to, can fight if he has to.
Bissonnette is a good fighter, that why he is in the NHL.

Is it me or does Rupp look older than 35 ?????? Hard life I guess....

Remember its not the age, its the MILEAGE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rupp landed 3-4 good hard shots to bissonette's rt. eye & rt. cheek. Rupp with a clean win.

At first I was going to give Rupper the slight edge but I'm gonna give this one a draw. Bissonnette started out the fight with some good left jabs.

Rupp all the way. More active, more punches landed.
