Second fight in a week for Nick at Nite and he won neither.

Messy headlock and short uppercuts -- but with Turnbull being the only to throw, he wins

win Turnbull A.C.s(from The Warriors)...best movie ever,with Slapshot a close second

Funny...homer announcers. First, Turnbull is suckered from behind and nailed from behind. Looks to me like he got grabbed from behind in a headlock and spun down to the ice. That being said, Turnbull gets up and finds Johnson (not Clutterbuck...another announcer faux paus) and handles him fairly easily in a glorified wrestling match. Also funny watching Johnson looking like a turtle during the dance.

Nothing could be less "Wild" than this pathetic hockey team.

Turnbull gets the win. Johnson didn't do much beside wrestle and turnbull controlled the fight.

Win to Travis

I guess if you are going to hit someone from behind while they are tied up with another player, you should do it someone who is not going to get up and pound you into the ice.

Turnbull's first fight was almost as weird as his first goal. Not much happening here at all but Johnson did absolutely nothing.

Turnbull picks up his first win in his first fight in the NHL. good for him.
Posted by pinney29 on Mar 25, 2012 at 10:51 AM agree disagree
clear win for Turnbull. He is having a great first few games in the NHL!

I love my Sabres...nuff said...but I love when rear face wash assassins like Nikki Johnson get their boot ox kicked!

Johnson fought for the right reasons.

A draw. I really cannot five either player a win here. Johnson certainly doesn't deserve the W, but what did Turnbull do to deserve one? He "fought" with the Wild's embarrassment? The 1 player on the team who cannot fight and cannot deliver a decent check without racking up 6 minutes of penalties. Beating that guy is a win? If I were Turnbull, I would not tell anyone I beat Johnson. About as meaningful as a piece of paper being paper.

Disagree with the penalty only on Johnson. Buffalo should have received 1 as well. Johnson did what everybody does in scrums after the play. The Sabre dove.

Find it interesting that the Sabres have no problem slashing Harding after the whistle, but won't fight any of the Wild's fighters (Johnson is just a disgrace). Not like the Wild is filled with Lucic.

Cheap move by Johnson, good to see that Turnbull landed more after that, slight edge Turnbull.
Posted by peteybrown on Mar 24, 2012 at 10:03 PM agree disagree
Draw nothing landed.
