Can't believe I'm saying this, considering the competition, but...
slight edge Cote.

Narrow win for Cote--any time he doesn't skate away with raccoon eyes, it's a moral victory.

But that the Flyers didn't come away with a point after being down, the fight didn't mean much.

I love Cote so I find it unnerving when he drops the mitts with Godard. It wasn't the greatest fight, for the potential it had. Cote's new style is boring but way smarter than how he used to fight in the past, especially against a wrecking machine like Godard. Cote comes out on top in this one, seemed to land more, though nothing big. I'm calling this one a 4. And pay no heed to whatever inane jibberish mcb comes up with for this one.

Edge Cote. I caught the end of this on television and thought Cote dominated, but after watching the replay it was very close. Godard looked a bit frustrated after taking a couple of in close left hands, but he didn't do anything to erase those points.

CLEAR WIN Cote.

Cote couldn't get to the box fast enough. Godard a big man if I were Cote I'd be scared too. Has the guy won 1 fight yet this year?

Posted by J.R. Abel on Feb 22, 2009 at 11:58 AM agree

I love both of these fighters, usually very entertaining guys to watch. Looked like Cote didn't want to trade with Godard this time though. Nothing much happening here. Can't give the decision to Cote for getting in tight to hang on, so niether guy could get going. Draw

Cote, in a bit of a hugfest, is at least becoming just a tad smarter. Slight edge to him in this one.

Posted by samtheman on Feb 22, 2009 at 9:22 PM agree

Cote in a close one. I don't agree with the comments about the hugfest. Cote has been one of the most exciting but least successful fighters in the NHL. Seems like he has changed his style a little and actually has won a couple fights against some top fighters.

Posted by paddyd on Feb 22, 2009 at 11:02 AM agree

Cote starts with a hug fest, thinks he got 1 shot in, and grabs his man and pulls him down to end it fast. A real wuss of a move. RC is becoming know as the best hugger in hockey. Draw, but it may have been a smart move.
Flyers4Life, Oh really you were there. I guess they showed a totally different clip of the fight on this web site. Try watching it again 3 or 4 times with the audio off. Huggy bear riley!
Furthermore if your coach focused more on the hockey game than trying blitz Malkin and Crosby he may have won the game. I think you have been sitting to close to Coatesy your starting to sound like him!
