Francois Beauchemin vs Nick Boynton

DAMM LINESMEN!!

They have a discussion on the faceoff, once the puck drops, they drop the gloves and square off. Beauchemin starts by grabbing a hold of Boynton's jersey and throws a few, Boynton responds by throwing some aswell. Beauchemin loses his balance and falls to his knees all while Boynton continues to throw rights at the off balance Beauchemin. He gets back up and Boynton feeds him two uppercuts. They both start to spin and each lose their grip. They square off again but the linesmen come in and break it up.

How come they can skate well enough to play in the NHL, but they fall down in a fight? Old time guys didn't fall down in fights like they do now.

Glad to see Beauchamin get it going this year as he had impressed me last season. An excellent "middleweight" matchup. Boynton had the edge in controlling the action and for punches thrown. Too bad the refs decided to step in as the fight was developing and mutually agreed on. Good to see the mutual respect shown by doffing the helmets. Love to see these guys settle it (esp. since i thought Beauchamin could be a real comer in the middle class off of his showing last year.).

WHY?!!! why do linesmen continue to feel the need to jump in pre maturely? pisses me off.

You can tell he went for that one-punch left haymaker knockdown, ala his bout with iginla. Little perturbed it was broken up like that, Beauchy doesn't drop 'em often and it's always a treat to tell people that someone named Francois was throwing knucklebombs.

Oh well.

Pesky linesman, always ruining our fun. I saw no need to break that one up. Both combatants still had some gas in their tanks.

Refs jumped in to quick. Boynton looked like he didn't want anymore of Beauch.

linesmen step in to early no ones hurt let the guys go

beauchemin has shown that he can really throw'em but seemed to have trouble keeping his feet under him - I guess I really remember what he did to Iginla in the playoffs last year and that kind of stands out - I'm sure next time these two meet, the outcome will be more entertaining.

Good fight

how do u get to watch the videos?

Boynton's tough....wish he did a little more of that when he played for the Bruins.

I like when guys drop their helmets, close fight but again to much ice covered, if they had of planted their feet it would have been a better tilt

ok
