2007-2008 Regular Season

Date / Time	Away / Home Team	Away / Home Player
Mar 12, 2008	Calgary Flames	Eric Godard
1pd 16:17	Washington Capitals	John Erskine
Comments: 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.

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.

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.

erskine stayed up? helluva chin. that was a monster shot godard landed. erskine has the right chin for the job.

Godard rocked him with that big shot. Both were exchanging at first, but that one shot by Godard hurt Erskine and ended it.

Edge- Godard

Godard landed a huge shot that took the fight out of ersk, then landed a few more for kicks, big win for Godard.

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.

Goddard had two wicked clean shots. Erskine's face may be broken

Godards a bad @$$! great punches, near knockout, nice fight! Erskine has to learn a little more defensive tactics before he starts getting at the upper tier of NHL heavies.

Posted by brawler03 on Mar 13, 2008 at 2:29 AM agree

Erskine was simply outmatched .He might be big but he's not a heavyweight like Godard.

Who is the mongoloid who voted it a draw or even worse a win for Erskine? Erskine must have a solid chin cause that right from Godard would have knocked out 95% of the players in the league. TKO - Godard.
