Edge to O'Brien for landing a decent one in the beginning.

Another decent scrap.
The cheap shoy had to be responded to, and O'Brien stepped up nicely. O'Brien early, and throughout most of the fight, with a couple of shots by Reitz at the end.

Edge to O'Brien. What a cheap shot by Reitz there. Man. Good job by O'Brien to TCB.

Uhh, I know it's cold in Minnesota, but Reitz didn't land crap. How he got away with a cross check and O'Brien got a slash for that slap on the toes is beyond me. O'B wins 10-8.

O'Brien gets the win over the cross checker.
Posted by blackgoldfan on Nov 22, 2008 at 11:50 AM agree disagree
O'brien wins. as he probably should against a guy like reitz..

Reitz cross check, face mask= P.....Y

Reitz deserved a much worse beating than he got. He's lucky that visor absorbed so many punches and cut O'Brien's hand or the fight would have left him messy. He also got lucky that the penalties favoured his team and that the crosscheck wasn't called.

FYI, 3rd man in penalties are called when 2 players are fighting and someone joins in, not when when 2 players are talking and someone comes in to fight.

So he got a penalty from slashing...... Amazes me, that lil knock on the stick, slashing? wtf ;)

Reitz has got to lose the lid in that situation. He tossed it aside when he fought Staal...doesn't quite man up when he takes on a tougher customer in O'Brien.

Who ever thinks O'Brien has won this isnt watching the same fight....
Posted by SlimShaney on Nov 21, 2008 at 10:43 AM agree disagree
IMO, Reitz should have gotten the 2 minutes for the cross-check. O'Brien could have gotten the slash penalty but that was borderline. and also, in the replay, Reitz drops the gloves first with O'Brien and had time to take off his shield but didnt

Win to O'Brien

i am a huge wild fan and i am dissapointed with reitz for the cheap shot.. dont stoop down to that level for the cantucks..they are the dirty organization..o'brien starts off strong but seems to get tired..and reitz got some good shots in,.. i saw draw witha slight edge to o'brien

Reitz with his best tough guy impression, only lands a good shot over top of the linesmen at the end with his large visor on.

Easy decision O'Brien.

rilligan your an idiot that wasn't a slash he just knocked the stick outa his hands... besides that a tap with the stick is how you start a fight which is what he should do after a cheap shot like that.

usually when a player fights with a visor he wins cuz it almost protects your whole face.. reitz is clearly a garbage hockey player.
