Ryane Clowe vs Shawn Thornton

Solid Draw...both of them were extremely tired going into the fight.

Thornton knocks Marleau down with an open-ice hit and is then quickly shoved and challenged by Clowe. They drop the gloves and grab ahold of each other. The two grapple for a moment and then each attempt a locked-out right that comes up short. Clowe ties Thornton up and gets in two rights. Thornton is able to get loose and throw a left. Clowe goes down to his knees and Thornton takes advantage by taking Clowe's helmet off and then throwing another left. Clowe stands back up and Thornton connects with a right cross. Clowe comes back with a right and Thornton shakes off his elbow pad. They exchange simultaneous rights that just miss and Clowe responds with two more rights of his own. Thornton throws a right, leans back, and then throws another right that lands. Clowe returns fire with two lefts and Thornton is able to duck underneath Clowe's right arm. They wrestle around for a short moment in an awkward position and Thornton throws a left to the side of Clowe's head once they adjust themselves. Thornton switches hands and they go back and forth with a mix of rights and jersey-jabs until the linesmen decide to intervene and end the fight.

need more time too fight

yawn...

Edge Thornton... But you gotta love Ryan Clowe!!!

2 minutes each for roughing. Horrible Fight

Pretty evenly matched with edge to Thornton on experience and strength.

Decent tilt

I was in the front row for this bout. A lot of posturing at the start, but both players kept the refs off of them long enough to land a couple of big shots. Clowe was at the end of his shift, it looked like Thornton had just got on the ice. The hits really picked up in the second.

Another video of the fight is up on youtube here:

Thornton threw more punches but none connected...clowe threw precise one's that did....but a draw I think

ngmcs8203,
we obviously know you dont know hockey .haha Ron Wilson is such a
poon he would do that. Selanne is still one of the top players in the NHl and hes 36 years old. having a stick thats a lil thick,like your mom, doesnt count as cheating...Sharks blow....So do you...

Decent fight for the end of a shift. I felt tired just looking at them. Still, way to make the effort.

it was pretty much a draw imo but if i had to give it to anyone its clowe

Obvious draw. Both were at the end of the shift. It definitely gave the momentum to the Sharks. Hannan scored the ensuing goal. What this video doesn't highlight is the brilliant coaching card pulled by Ron Wilson before OT started regarding Selanne's stick. He and his equipment staff were savvy to remember that Teemu was a cheater when he was with the Sharks and most likely was still a cheater. Way to go Sharks. Let's see how many goals he scores with his legal stick now!

Clowe was at the end of his shift, he was a little out of gas, but he held his own.
