2006-2007 Regular Season

Date / Time	Away / Home Team	Away / Home Player
Apr 03, 2007	Edmonton Oilers	Patrick Thoresen
2pd 08:51	Minnesota Wild	Branko Radivojevic
Comments: Niklas Backstrom stops a Toby Petersen shot and a scrum develops to the side of the Wild net just as the whistle blows to stop play. Thoresen and Radivojevic get the sticks up on the side and then drop the gloves. Radivojevic starts things off with a flurry of six rights and an uppercut to a bent over Thoresen. Thoresen stops Radivojevic from throwing by connecting with a blind overhand right that knocks Radivojevic's helmet loose. Radivojevic goes down to his knees for a moment, but is able to work his way back to his feet. They each throw two rights while spinning around. Thoresen throws another right to the back of Radivojevic's head. Thoresen then gets turned around and turtles to the ice with Radivojevic getting in a right just before the linesmen come in and break things up.

Rads wins but Thoresen lands one good one

Branko just ripped at the begining, then there was a little tie up and Thoreson may have got in a decent, not good, shot or two, but Radivojevic totally sweeps this one for the W. I'm not sure about the video, can't get it to play, but in person, this was a great fight for Wild fans!!

As a wild fan, it's nice to see people other than boogaard sticking up for their teammates. Good Job Radio, and he gets the W in this one.

Branko beats Blondie.

Winner Radivojevic.

Thoresen is just a lot smaller, and Branko got going faster. I like seeing guys who don't fight very often go at it, especially when it's to protect a young goalie like Backstrom.

Branko with the win

Usually Radivojevic is trying to stop the fights, but this time he got right in there and beat the crap out of Thoresen.

Fun to see guys that don't normally go- Bronko got better shots in it looks like and ..... Thoresen turtled like a four year old. Give it to Bronko.

Real good fight. Looked like they were really wanting to take eachothers head off.

Branko spanked that kid.

I was at this game and I gotta say, Banko just killed it. He made my first Wild game a great one! It was like watching a flurry of fists until Thoresen was on the ground, looking like he just wanted it to be over.
