Orr got a few more punches in that Bouillon did and Orr seemed to have it under control the whole time. There was no KO and it ended against the boards, so I would consider it a narrow victory for Orr

Who cares who won this fight, is there any player dirtier than Hollweg? All you guys always ragged on Downie and the Flyers as being dirty. Okay punks, splain to me how Hollweg is still in the league? As a multipule offender what will it take to get rid of Hollweg? The paralysing of an opponent? Okay Ranger fans, show your intelligance(or the lack thereof) and pontificate.

Holweg was pissed, and took it out on a smaller player....

The elbow he caught would have done Howe proud.....funny though how the announcers don't mention that he'd tried a blueline elbow on Kovalev himself a couple seconds before the Russing took him down with one that didn't miss.....

Far as the fight goes, Bullion wins points for guts....against most guys in the league, those who aren't regular fighters little Franky is going to stand rather well.....

Habs need to bring along someone to specifically handle this manner of thing....problem is, they want and need a scrapper that can play the game as well.....

Ahh for the days of Knuckles....wonder if he wants to try acomeback at 50?

win to orr, it was obvious orr was controlling the whole thing, hes a big guy and as previously stated buillion is smalll, no doubt in my mind that orr would have hurt him badly if he gave effort, big ups to the small guy for taking a stand. but just too much difference in height/weight to be a fair fight. and agreed. as a NYR fan, hollweg is a bs player and should be playing for the flyers with his terrible hits.

Hollweg is douchebag... Orr wins the fight, but can you expect anything else when hes fighting against Bouillon

Hollweg was a knuckle head again. But Colton was up to the challenge.

On one hand, Bouillon shows some heart taking on the larger and more dangerous Orr. On the other hand, guys who fight while wearing a shield have a big equalizer so here, I don't strongly consider the size and fighting skill mismatch. Orr with the easy win but out of Bouillons league.

Orr controlled the fight got in a few lefts and rights. Bouillon gets props for going with Orr and doing a great job staying away, not getting killed and even getting a shot in.

Bouillion did well, punches landed were equal. Orr controlled the fight a bit more but Draw all the way due to landing. Bouillion was good at ducking and keeping the bigger Orr locked out.

orr wins. battleaxe13, hollweg is definatly NOT garbage! yea it was a dirty hit, no question. hollweg is one of the most energetic players on the rangers and he is a great physical presence. a garbage player is someone like chris simon who should be in jail right now for whacking hollweg in the face with his stick and trying to cut off ruutu's foot!

Decision to Orr, but with a few caveats. 1) He does this much more often than Bouilly so this shouldn't have even been a contest. 2) Francis is exactly the same height and weight as me (if you go by the NHL.com listings) and let's just say if I saw Colton Orr coming toward my side of the rink I'd probably play dead. So props to Frank B.

Orr wins but who cares? Bouillon is a lightweight
Posted by Blackhawk23 on Feb 03, 2008 at 7:08 PM agree disagree
good show by Bouillon taken on a heavyweight and holdin his own, as always Hollweg starts the battle then hides behind Orr, close fight I call it a draw
Posted by Clark75 on Feb 04, 2008 at 7:59 AM agree disagree
Couldn't really see what was going on the whole time as the cameras were more interested in Hollweg. Orr.

Orr didn't want this fight to happen. Orr still won.
