Jan 18, 2008 Atlanta Thrashers Eric Boulton
3pd 12:49 Buffalo Sabres Nolan Pratt
Comments: Boulton gives Jason Pominville a late hit into the boards after the whistle, prompting Pratt to skate over and give Boulton a bump. Boulton drops his gloves and begins pounding on Pratt who drops to the ice with all of his equipment still on. Boulton then turns to Pominville and starts throwing punches at him. Pominville goes down to the ice as well. Brian Campbell comes in and grabs Boulton from behind. One of the linesmen grabs ahold of Boulton who throws a punch at Campbell while being restrained. The linesman is eventually able to start escorting Boulton to the penalty box. Meanwhile Garnet Exelby and Jochen Hecht gets the sticks up, but both of the referees are right there to grab them and break things up. Other Penalties: Boulton received an instigator, crosschecking, misconduct and game misconduct; Garnet Exelby a roughing and misconduct; Johan Hecht a roughing. Nolan Pratt did not receive a fighting major.

You guys are all idiots for saying that was good hockey. Running up the score Atlanta couldn't stay out of the peanalty box they got what the deserved. Its funny to because many of you are the same whiney babies who cry a foul when one of your star players gets touched. Feb 1st I hope someone Simon's his ass and ends his career I'd rather see players on the ice who can play hockey and fight like Dion or hopefully not the last time we see him but Gary Roberts. The NHL has no place for idiots like Boulton...

Pratt came in with his arms up expecting a slow dance and he got rocked for it. Good on Boulton for doing his job.

Don't run up the score and you won't get smashed in the face by a pissed off competitor. Good on Boulton.

What you get for running up the score. Good ole Halifax boy....

I didn't see a fight here just punk Boulton punching random Sabres. I agree with Sabre311, this is not hockey. You don't cheap shot, you drop the gloves face to face with someone who wants to go then you take care of the payback for running up the score. Also Sabre311 its cool that you gave props to Roberts, he's a true hockey player who plays tough and gets in your face and will go when something like this happens. Boulton is a p*ssbag. I've seen him shy away from most heavies, he is very similar to Ben the ultimate coward Eager.

Boulton is a cheap shottin' bastard. Peters will tune him up feb 1st.

this ain't a fight

Boulton goes ape but I don't blame him. After a 9-1 beating, you think the losing teams enforcer is going to skate away with a smile? Hell no!

Garnett Exelby is a puke bag.

that was awesome, two KO's in one fight. It is a shame the linesman came in or there would have been three KO's, one on campbell.

What team is going to stop taking scoring opportunities when they are avail.? You ****s think they are gona be like "well, we are up by 2 goals so we should stop trying, anybody who scores another goal will sit the bench next game." Next time I hope they run it up to 100.. you ****en retards..
boulton... what a ***!!! .. peters is going to destroy him feb 1st.

What, Boulton didn't want to TKO the linesmen too? It looked like a bar fight, when there's so many people throwing punches you don't even know who's on your side so you just throw bombs at whoever comes near you. Maybe the Sabres should have sent Dorothy Hamill in to the fracas, because those first two Sabres went down easier than a beer at 5:00pm on a Friday night. Boulton with the easy win, maybe he should back down on the dosage of Winstrol though.

not even a fight. good for boulton though. pratt wants to come in like the enforcer after a nothing "hit" then good for boulton for popping him. pratt should know better. next time he comes in swinging.

Called it a draw because it wasn't a fight, it was an ambush. Boulton 's a jerk.
Posted by mike tyson on Jan 20, 2008 at 11:17 PM agree disagree
Hows are these cheap shots? Both Pratt and Pomme went at Boulton, what did they expect, a KISS! Peters figures better them than me ,LOL
