This is Thompson's win. How anyone is giving the decision to Mair is beyond me. Thompson landed a flurry of big punches including one that knocked off Mair's helmet while Mair landed just 1 punch, and that was when the linesmen were already in between them.
Why are retards allowed to vote here?

Huge puss move by Rivet. Gotta call this one a draw.

WTF was Rivet doing? This could have been a barn burner but....Mair seems to hug thompson after the throw down then thompson gets the better of the exchange. I'm gonna give the edge to thompson for battling through the cheap shot and then landing the best shots of the fight. I call for a rematch.

Unclear as to what actually happened, but as far as I can tell...cheap shot -Rivet, cheap foot sweep-Kaleta, and cheap linesman punch Mair. If that's team justice, I may have to re-examine my former respect for the ''new'' Sabres.

Mess with one Sabres mess with them all... screw the announcers!

To all the idiots: RIVET JUMPED IN and had no NEED or REASON to do so!
after that, obviously guys on the isles were going to jump in to even things out. As well as guys on the sabres. A big mess, no clear winner, even though Mair threw that cheapshot in after the linesmen got involved. Witt smashed his head on the ice after paetsch ripped his helmet off, meanwhile still kept his on with his shield on. PEOPLE WHO FIGHT WITH SHIELDS ARE *******!

Disgusting hockey by the Sabres. You don't tackle another player and you don't smash someones head into the ice.

Thompson won the fight going away, cannot see how any of you could have voted for Mair who needed his "big brother" to step in and protect him from a middleweight and a rookie at that. What a punk move by rivet to jump in from behind while a fight is about to start.

Mair had the fight in him, and it showed. Edge Mair.

Mair had a nice cheap shot at the end, after he seemed to want the refs to break it up...thought he was better than that...

Rivet jumped in because the sabres have already lost 3 Centers and Mair is still nursing his knee from surgery he had before the season started. While it might be frowned upon, he was protecting his team. Its not like he threw any punches at Thompson he was just trying to get him off and take the fight.

That said, the Mair Thompson fight was a draw. Maybe with a slight edge to Mair for a few shots landed (though hard to see on this feed). Though it'd be nice if the Isles fans would stop crying now that they got beat both ON and OFF the scoreboard. Props to Bergenheim though he did what he had to do even if he got a beating for it.

Fan of neither team but have to say that if punks like Mair and Rivet represent the teams tough guys they are in a lot of trouble.

mair threw a dirty left at the end.

This is for "wayneface_killa" you are the most idiot person in this area. First of all, Paetsch didn't even dressed up for this game. Secondly, YOUR team player started the whole s**t. He went after Mair who is recovering the injury so Rivet went after and assist him. Mair did not want to fight in the first place. So quit whining, your team is the most embarrassing team in the NHL. The lowest attendance rate in years. You really suck just like them. I might be the Sabres fan but I thought Rivet did the right thing. If we were in the different shoes, you would be proud of your team so shut the fk up.

Gotta agree I'd rather listen to Rick than this guy (as a Sabres fan) but Mair could have stood up for himself, no need for Rivet to get involved. Liked Bergenheim jumping in but he took a beating for it. Overall, I'd saw draw
