Kunitz gets the win here for getting the lid off Pacioretty. Pacioretty's one good blow only struck plastic.

@kkdowning, this isn't about the announcers, who I think are more objective than most, especially the ones from Boston. They thought the hit was on Pacioretty.

@mudman55, they were just saying that Cooke was expecting to have some people go after him for hitting Savard.

Go Pens!!

Not the most graceful dancing I've ever seen. Kunitz and Pacioretty ain't no Torvill and Dean.

Really cowardly of Kunitz to yank off Patches' helmet while he was all visored up and protected. I'm just glad that Max got in a couple of ear-shots.

Nice to see two Habs "win" two fights in consequent games. More big bastards on the team, please!

I wonder what the announcers were watching before the whistle, it was Cole that got run into the boards, not Pacioretty. Pacioretty was sticking up for Cole, it wasn't about Kunitz, or anyone else going after Pacioretty.

How is it the same turnbuckle that Chara hit Pacioretty into if it is in Pittsburgh? You are blowing my mind announcer guy.

A total wussy dance. It is embarassing to call that a fight!!!

Worst fight (?) of the year!

Terrible fight easy draw

Steigerwald and Errey: worst homer announcers out there. The fight wasn't as bad as their commentary, but it was bad enough. Pacioretty gets it for at least landing something.

I gave Kunitz the win here because all Pacioretty did was try and make the fight a draw! He did nothing to enhance the fight, he only threw two punches that did not land! Anyone who said that he won was obviously a Canadiens fan!

Retard announcers...that was a bit of a blind-side hit on Erik Cole, not someone hitting Patchy for a previous hit. Patchy stands up for Erik after a questionable hit. Unfortunately, although strong as a horse, patchy doesn't really know how to fight...but does a good job of tying Kunitz up and avoiding the shots.

Kunitz gets it for effort. Maxipad did nothing.

chicken dance...

Kunitz didn't forget about the dirty hit on Letang. Way to defend your teammate.
Posted by mpaps71 on Jan 21, 2012 at 3:26 PM agree disagree
How can anyone watching this think Kunitz won? Pacioretty was just asserting his will. It's clear he was too strong for Kunitz who could not even get his arms free. Pacioretty even tried to call the fight early rather than embarass Kunitz. Lucky for Kunitz, Pacioretty wasn't looking to hurt him.
