2pd 05:08 Anaheim Ducks Shawn Thornton
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.

The first fight they had was much better, this one was a piece of crap to watch. To much shirt tugging and tying up. If you're going to drop the gloves, go ahead and fight!

Not much landing by either guy. A DRAW.

As was said ealier, both guys were at the end of a shift, and it showed. Still, not that bad of a fight. a Draw is the fair conclusion.

What an intense game otherwise. Ducks need to learn to hold on to a lead.

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:

ngmcs8203,

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.
