Eric Nystrom vs Adam Burish

Psychologist have a term for the style of thinking in some of these posts. Its called rationalization. Trying to justify a flaw with a logical argument that isn't all that logical. Its also interesting to note that when you go to a Blues game in St. Louis there are tons of short buses dropping people off to see the game.

There is always pressure on anyone that is the son or daughter of a famous person that tries to follow in there foot steps of their parents. In my opinion, Nystrom is trying to do his best. He is a tough kid, but I think he may be doing things that are beyond his scope. He is not the player his father was(yet). Its kind of unfair to set that expectation.He also had a broken jaw earlier this year http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_previousnews.aspx?sport=NhL&id=1549 .

It can't feel good getting punched in the jaw after you broke it.

Burish is not a heavy. He went after Boogaard earlier in the year. I don't think they fought, but he seems willing. I think he would be willing to fight a guy like Godard. He would likely lose, but Godard is arguably one of the top 3 or 4 guys in the league right now.

I don't think its fair to belittle Nystrom, and I don't think its fair to water down a nice win for Burish.

every scrapper on the planet has been tagged by the plumber at some point. happens to the very best, so no shame. HOWEVER, the bigger issue is: nystrom isn't really a fighter and a lot more fragile than his old man. he should focus on playing hardnosed hockey and laying off the fisticuffs. nice quick shot by burish, give credit where it's due. he isn't too impressive overall but he read nystrom like a book and delivered a sweet shot.

BIG KO!

ouch!!!!!!!!

All it took was one shot by Burish...
Gotta love the hawks, no matter what.

You got knocked the F*%$ Out! Actually one punched which is more embarrassing

One and done!

big right by burish ends it quickly. good to see for Adam, he has been receiving more than he has been giving this year.

Nystrom's OLD MAN was not a chump! I am a die-hard Rangers fan for 40+ years...and Bobby Nystrom epitomized the Tough, hard-nosed, yet talented player that hockey players strive to be. He could grind-it out, score AND knock your lights out, TOO!

Wow....somebody actually gave the nod to Nystrom....Open your eyes!!!

Burish ever been told not to hit a woman?

I really have yet to figure out wh yNystrom continues to fight. He continually gets his a$$ kicked. Totally destroyed in this one yet again. Face it Eric, you are not meant to be a fighter.

Gotta give this one to Burish. There's a fan pic of this bout floating around that has Burish doing a "Kiss the ring, b*****!" that says it all.

Though, that bout was about the only highlight of the game for a 'hawks fan.

you got knocked the F**K OUT!!

Even though I will to give the win to Burish, if you look at it, it was 3 punches to 1 Nystrom. Burishs' counted more and was huge but it just evened things up. Too quick of a fight to "award" a BIG win. I think everyone should realize that even when someone gets knocked down there is a bit to be said about the win being rewarded right then. I have seen (in person) guys get up from being punched like that and knock the livin' daylights out of someone.
For this fight 7 second fight, I'd give it to Burish.

Update:
Rockhawk,
A true sign of a Hawks fan: I am a moron? LOL...You wouldn't say that to my face in a million years. It's easy to perch your ass behind a PC and talk smack and call people morons and idiots....LOL Grow up.
I said Burish won the fight....just think 7 seconds is too short to call it "over".
