Comments: Brash takes a little run at Vaananen and Naz comes flying up and tries to run Brash, who at the last second drops to his knees to avoid it. Brash starts to skate up ice, then decides he's going to answer this challenge. They square off, then Naz goes for a straight right that just grazes the top of Brash's lid. Brash grabs a hold and Naz throws 4 lefts and a right to the side of Brash's head, but they've got nothing on them because Brash is too strong and has a bear hug on Andrei. Nazarov throws a left while Brash throws a short left that may have hit. Brash with a short uppercut, can't tell if it hit. Brash with a left behind Naz's head. Naz then throws another nothing left. Now Brash has him in a double headlock and is trying to get his helmet off, their faces are about an inch apart. Brashear with an overhand left that misses. Nazarov with a left to Brash's temple/cheek. Now Naz has a bear hug on Brash as well, and another nothing left from Naz. Brashear throws a left that's short and Naz just misses a good uppercut. Now they're both literally hugging and Brash tries to pull away. He throws a right that loses its muster as it reaches Nazarov's face. Donald then lands a nice right to Naz's cheek as Naz lands a short left to Brash's face. Pulling Brash downward, Naz misses an overhead left. Now Naz is up against the Yotes' bench and Brashear thows a quick left to Naz's ear. Two more that glance his helmet. Naz tries a left, but nothing. Brashear looked to land another nice, quick, short left. Now Brash's left is free and Naz is going to his knees. Brash throws about 3-4 quick uppercuts, but cant see what hit directly. The linesmen come in and there's blood on the back of Brash's jersey from a cut on Andrei's face.
