1pd 16:17 Washington Capitals John Erskine
Mike Green hits Dustin Boyd hard into the boards and Godard returns the favor by sending Green into the wall. Brooks Laich grabs Godard but quickly lets go once Erskine skates over. Godard and Erskine drop the gloves and tie each other up. They exchange a couple of early fights. Erskine throws two rights to the back of Godard's helmet before landing a pair of jersey-jabs. Erskine throws a short right followed by another that misses the target. They simultaneously throw rights and Godard connects with a shot that stuns Erskine. Godard then lands three unanswered rights before Erskine falls to the ice. Godard follows him down and the linesmen are there to break things up.

i voted TKO win for Godard on this one because it appears Godard hurt or at a minimum stunned Erskine with that first right bomb he landed. after that Erskine went into a shell and ate a few more....but that was one of the biggest punches i have seen in a while.

Not quite a knockout but damn did Godard own Erskine at the end there. He landed some bombs! Erskine fell pretty easily so I was contemplating a knockout vote, but I think I'll just say TKO.

erskine early but then godard caught him with one right in the mouth that hurt bad, after that it was all godard.

A good fight as Godard did it very well.
Erskine wasn't a bad in this one still.
Erskine early, but Godard strongly later.
Godard landed better punches, i think he maybe landed one too early on but Erskine threw more punches early on as Godad took 3-4 punches to the back of the head.
Godard got him down but more a bad balance to Erskine.
A clear win to E.Godard, not so easy win.

Godard handled Erskine well.
Posted by billy jack on Mar 13, 2008 at 2:23 AM agree disagree
ersky was hangin in their untill goddard hit him with the money shot.then it went all down hill from there,give erskine credit for fighting a true heavy,i always thought that goddard could compete with the big boys if he put more meat on his bones because he has good tecknique.he needs some of big goerge larouqes steroids and he could do some damage,but he is bigger then a few years ago,i remember martin lapointe putting on 30 pounds in 1 year and they say no steroids in hockey,it got lapointe a big contract that he never came close to liveing up to,he never scored and as a fighter he was a wrestler.

Not even close. In fact, this feed sux, as the highlights I saw on Sportsnet showed the opposite angle -- Godard's face in rage, as he hammed Erskine with one right after another. Use the other feed!!!!! It was MUCH more brutal than what you are showing!!!

No chance, Godard KILLED this clown!
