Derek Boogaard vs Eric Godard

These two had had words earlier in the game and they were lined up on the opposite wings before the puck was dropped... Than Boogard switched sides with another MInnesota player and everyone in the crowd knew what was about to happen and were on their feet screaming. As soon as the puck drops, so do the mitts, with both guys throwing "feeler" shots before getting in tight. Boogard manages to throw a couple of hard rights but Godard manages to effectively lock them out so they cause no damage. Godard tries to answer with his own rights but doesn't seem to be able to effectively reach the much larger Boogard. Boogard than goes to the left and lands a decent shot before attempting to get the right hand going again. Boogard throws a couple more shots which don't land and Godard manages to tie Boogard's right up and lands TWO BEAUTY right hand shots which clearly daze Boogard and puts him to one knee. Boogard tries to get up but he is clearly in la-la-land and Godard lands another two hard rights. Boogard is game and still tries to get up but Godard shows mercy and pulls/muscles him down to the ice. TKO win to Godard.

Boogaard mixes in a couple of more high and low rights and Godard slips his right arm inside Boogaard's grip. Godard then lands two hard shots and Boogaard goes to a knee, only to get up quickly. Godard quickly lands a couple of more shots sending Boogaard back to his knees. Godard then drags Boogaard down to prevent him from getting up again as the linesmen move in to break it up. After a moment in the penalty box, Boogaard went to the lockerroom and did not return to the game.

Good fight, Godard caught him with a couple of good shots and gets the win.

Boogaard takes the loss in this fight but he will back to fight another day, cant keep the bigman down for long.

Good fight Godard congrats for taking down the Boogeyman.

Awesome fight.

Good fight. Godard starts out with 3 quick rights to the head. They exchange a couple more, but then Godard lands some really big shots at the end...knocking Boogaard to his knees and stunning him pretty good. As close to a KO without a concussion as you'll get.

UPSET! Godard caught him good and wins hands down. BTW did I say this was an upset.

Anyone who has seen Godard fight before shouldn't have been surprised by the outcome of this scrap.

Godard has been the most underrated fighter in the past 3 seasons with the islanders
