I hate Byfuglein he is such a wussy and has ZERO toughness. You need to kick the crap out of a guy like Downie. Dustin seems like he has no desire to fight, or play. I want him off my team.

I would like to have seen more punches thrown on Downie's behalf. Proves that he'll take on someone bigger than him and not back down.

I hate seeing this! Go after a guy when he throws a cheap shot, but going after a guy for a missed hit on what would of been a clean hit is plain stupid!

Good job by Downie to stand up for Stamkos.
Posted by bnastybenito55 on Feb 18, 2009 at 9:00 PM agree disagree
getting dominated, even regressed to grabbing his pants, repack your 'chute Downie. Byfuglien was too big. Only a few shots really, none huge. nice teamwork Downie.

Hats off the Downie standing up for Stamkos, and taking on a guy 60 lbs heavier.

After Downie's cross check in retaliation of Byfuglien's legal hit on Stamkos, Byfuglien got a couple good punches in. Downie followed with a clean shot and it was a hugfest after that.

I'd say Downie should stick to guys his own size, but i think the lumps on his head will do that for me.

Downie = Nancy Boy. Stevie...was it ok when you tried to kill McAmmond in the preseason? Take your lumps, punk.

I can understand why a lot of people would say Byfuglien wins this but I think Downie should get a little more credit. Downie is giving up a few inches and about 20-25 pounds to Byfuglien and still holds his own and lands a pretty good shot that landed hard on the side of Byfuglien's face. DRAW just bc Downie really impressed me and why did the refs give him an instigator? He came to the defense of Stamkos so he gets an instigator. I'd understand the cross-check b4 the fight but not the instigator.

Downey with the dirtbag shot after he put Buff to the ice.......Downie was not only holding on for dear life, but he even attempted to left Buffs leg and take him down.......why pull dirty **** against a monster who you are scared to fight anyway?..........and then the dumb look on tocchets face when he got a misconduct...........anyone who voted this a draw is delusional.....

DOwnie is a douchebag
Posted by joaquin on Feb 18, 2009 at 5:15 AM agree disagree
Wow is Byfuglien strong. He was either tired or not interested in fighting and let up a bit at the end but when he wants to do some damage he can.

That's gotta be embarrasing on the part on BF...gives up like what 100 pounds and like 6 inches or more
