Comments: This one starts off of a faceoff. The two players were lined up along side of each other and have been talking. When the puck drops, so do the gloves, and it's on! Morissette is lining up like he's a lefty and is doing his trademark "movements" before a scrap. Odjick isn't impressed and simply waits for Morissette to close the gap. Both fighters are also talking a bit and finally they come together. Morissette tries to start off with a left which Odjick blocks, and Odjick tries a right which Morissette blocks. Odjick then gets his right hand free and starts hammering Morisette. Most of Odjick's shots aren't landing flush at first and Morissette is attempting to throw shots of his own, but none of them connect. Odjick threw a total of seven rights, the last four landed flush, and the final one dropped Morissette to the ice with Odjick on top. Morissette is up immediately and would have continued the fight, but the linesmen are in there. Other Penalties: Both players received misconducts.
