Kudos to sean for taking one for his line mate. This is a classless move from a player who knows better in Rivet. I should give sean the "w" out of spite but...a "W" is still a "W" for Rivet .

Rivet killed him!!! Somebody please do everybody a favor and shoot the NY announcers!!!

siltmipa, no offense but only an idiot laughs at their own posts. With that being said, don't know what Rivet was up to at the onset of the fight but once him and Berg squared off it was over before it began. Domination TKO.

Craig Rivet should have received a suspension for his actions. Bergenheim, who is not a fighter, was able to hold his own against a fighter in Rivet.

Say all you want about Mair's knee, but he sure didn't seem to want to stay off it once Rivet came in and got the upper hand for him.
Bergenheim lost but is now one of my favorite players for doing what he did.

Man everyone seems to forget that MAIR just came back from knee surgery. That is why Rivet tried to get there and take the fight from Mair. Man some people are stupid and need to read.

#Rivet is a bitch for jumping in here then going after a nonfighter. Only wish it was Rivet that got head slammed...that would have been pure comedy# said dropnem and he was TOTALLY right. What a joke that Rivet is. Look from you Tube the fight between Ruutu and Rivet. And ruutu is doing just fun, hah

Toe to toe my a$$. More like foot to a$$. Way to go Rivet. Sabres got a keeper. If rivet wanted to do some damage he could have pummelled Thompson too. Rivet's messed up some heavyweights over the years.

Finns like to get beaten up. Thatīs why we sit in the sauna and hit each other with birch twigs BUT we never back up or SURRENDER...thatīs for sure.

Hey if you cant stand the heat don't go in the kitchen Humper. Rivet has been a machine for the Sabres so far. I was impressed.
Posted by cardiffgiant on Oct 13, 2008 at 8:30 PM agree disagree
Mair is just back from injury, and the Sabres are already down their #2 and #3 centers. Otherwise, I doubt that Rivet would have tried to step in.
Posted by beager on Oct 13, 2008 at 10:45 PM agree disagree
Bergenheim indicated that he wanted some of Rivet, and Rivet obliges. Rivet then proceeds to hammer away with the right and make the fight lopsided. You can cut that cake any way you want, each slice is a win for Rivet.

I don't think Bergenheim wanted to be there as Rivet got a whole bunch of shots off. While many will cry about Rivet jumping in on Thompson he was actually just trying to take the fight off of Mair's hands as Mair is recovering from recent knee surgery. Either way, Rivet gave a beating.

First of all, Rivet did NOT went after Bergenheim. So all of you idiots who whine and complain how Rivet went after a non-fighter. He did not, Bergenheim dropped the gloves and went after him. Wake the f*** up and watch carefully, you idiot!

Secondly, I don't blame Rivet for stepping in the fight because he was protecting Mair who is recovering the injury. So shut the f*** up and quit whining. If your team were in this position, you would want that. So seriously, quit whining like a little b***h.

I like to see the Sabres sticking up for each other, but Rivet didn't need to be the 3rd man in , Mair can hold his own. Bergenheim did the right thing going after him, but took a beating. Gotta give this one to Rivet
