I love the emotion from Rivet. He gets so fired up when he drops the gloves.

Kostopoulos surprised me for starting well, but Rivet is a very good fighter and hammered him once he got going.

if mcb wants to write about a team that can't win a fight he better write about this lousy team

I hate, absolutely hate, Rivet. Punches the guy multiple times when hes down then continues to trash talk him about the cheap punches he gave. I hope someone, anyone, gets the best of Rivet and drops him. That being said, W for Rivet...

Rivet deserves consideration for the middle wieght crown. Easy win.

hey mcb, they're clinging on to that 8th spot. I'm actually rooting for them now since they'll end up playing the Bruins in the 1st round, that should send you back in your hole for another year.

Bahjay's comment, "Referees Kom-Stop-Othis" is definetely a top 5 comment of the year.......

rivet gets the win in this fight.

Kostopoulos can't fight; can't skate; can't play hockey; Habs have celebrated greatness in their past - These days they cheer for mediocrity like Kostopoulos. Humiliating beat down like the Habs season. C'est la vie.

Rivet is one of the most intense fighters in the league. He's not that big (for a fighter), but he definitely knows how to fight.

TK did alright at the beginning, but then Rivet switched hands and took over.

As usual, a few homers give TK the win here. You could make a weak argument for a draw, but a Rivet loss? Come on; get real. Bleeding bleu, blanc et rouge doesn't mean you have to give the fight to the loser just because he's a Hab.

Great fight, Rivet is a powerhouse and I love his emotion and the brawl definitely got the Sabres going for a little bit.

Close until Rivet hits Komoflopoguts and down goes turtle boy into his shell. A good bout would be Rivet against Asham to see who is the best middle.

I really learned to hate Kostopoulos after he sucker punched Kimmo Timonen in last year's series against the Flyers.

It seemed that Rivet just outlasted Kostopoulos in that fight and took him to the ground.

Good overall contest - love when they start trading haymakers in cadence - Rivet's right drops him!

As far as fair voting - only three homers voted for the Greek - that's not so bad!

buffalo is on a 3 game glove dropping spree
