Alot of clutching, grabbing and holding. But Godard gets the slight edge because of that big shot(and only shot) he landed near the end of the fight. I'll give credit to Murray though. He was definitely trying to them em'. He just couldn't get his arms free. The win goes to Godard.

It looked to me like Murry intentionally pushed his own helmet off on Godards shoulder after they got tied up. In any case, he didn't have a chance to get the visor off at the start of the fight.
It also looked like at first they got tied up and were both fighting to get into a position to throw but then got so tied up not much happened. It was disappointing. Maybe next time.

Murray fared better than I thought, but win Godard.

Murray did better job than Godard to tying up him.
You see too that Murray isn't the same galiper than Godard.
This was in a way a victory to Murray, because Godard didn't beat him as you can expect.
In this long fight wasn't an action, not many punches, no passion.
They tied up each others.
They didn't want to open up(particularly Murray, but Godard would should to find the way to win a fight) or they can't.
But more Godard's weakness in this one, though.
He gets his hand free in the end as Murray missed with his own and Godard landed a solid one.
Edge Godard in boring one.

I've been in more intense nose blowing incidents. Goddard lands a punch. Yowza.

Godard got a few and they danced and danced.

Boring fight

Draw if ever I saw one.

Now I'm a Sharks fan and I've seen Murray lay some people out it just looked like he really wasn't into this one at all. Win goes to Godard.

Godard busted Murray open at the end with the monster left....winner Godard.

Godard jumps Murray because he's unhappy he got checked, tough to blame Murray for not dropping his lid when the other guys dropped his gloves and tied you up while you still have your stick in your hand. Turns into a one punch fight, boring and a DRAW

Draw. Boring hug-fest. One nice bomb that has minimal effect does not a winner make.

Murray usually loses the visor, but Godard dropped his gloves and clutched before Murray had a chance to ditch the lid. Not a jumping, but nor did Godard let Murray really square up.

Murray was exhausted and wanted nothing to do with Godard. If they ever drop them again where they both have time to square off, the fight would be pretty exciting.

I was listening to the radio at the time of the fight. they said Murray was on the end of his shift and Godard was fresh off the bench. Possibly fatigue on Murray. But he's a big boy. I wouldn't tussle with him.

>>cabsf15e>> Haha, have you ever seen Murray fight before, he loses the visor immediately, but in this fight he didn't have the chance to do so. It's a bit hard to get rid of the visor when a guy called Godard is jumping you and not letting your arms be free for a second. If Godard really wanted this to be a real fight he should have given Murray time to drop his gloves and loose his visor before they started to tangle.
And second, Murray have never played in the Swedish Elite League, he's been playing hockey in America since he was in college and he knows how to handle himself in a fight.
