Comments: Barnaby's first fight as a Ranger. Shortly after a faceoff, the two get together outside of the Rangers zone. Gloves drop and there's the squareoff (with Barnaby's awkwardly tilted skates). They grab and are trying to grapple for position while throwing some "armpit punches." Wiemer throws 2 short rights that connect and then a left that misses. Wiemer then gets Barnaby's helmet off with his left hand (a grab); as he's doing that Barnaby attempts a right that gets blocked by Wiemer's shoulder. Wiemer then rockets down two rights that land solidly to the side of Barnaby's head as he's hunched over. A third gets Barnaby's back, and a fourth misses. Barnaby is starting to yap and Wiemer throws two more rights that Barnaby seems to dodge. Barnaby finally counters with a left that lands ok, kinda slap style. He then throws another left putting all his weight into it and Wiemer falls with Barnaby on top of him.
