Really not much of a fight. But the "W" goes to Kovalchuk for sure. If Stafford has stayed on his feet, it might have been a decent scrap. Nice to see Ilya throwing a few bombs. Gotta love that.

Hard to call this a fight...should have been roughing penalties at best!
Posted by Juha82 on Oct 14, 2007 at 12:44 PM agree disagree
Kovalchuk was aggressor here.
He had a clear pure adrenaline here, which causes well the win for him.
Edge Kovalchuk.

Crappy fight. He needs to stick to scoring.
Posted by sensaijin on Oct 12, 2007 at 2:03 PM agree disagree
you'll 'win' every time if don't give the other guy time to drop his gloves.. not an evenly started fight, so the outcome doesn't matter.

good to see the emotional outburst from a star player, but Ilya's lack of fighting experience was evident.

cheap fight
Posted by latendresse on Feb 16, 2008 at 1:25 AM agree disagree
I hesitated between Draw and Kovalchuk because Stafford wasnt expecting that.. But Kovalchuk won

Kovalchuk isn't the one that lost his jersey
Posted by Piglett31069 on Oct 13, 2007 at 11:35 AM agree disagree
A great fight from a player who rarely fights (Kovalchuk). When he gets mad, look out...you may well see something like this!
