Thornton vs Odgers

1996-1997 Regular Season

Date / Time	Away / Home Team	Away / Home Player
Nov 21, 1996	Montreal Canadiens	Scott Thornton
3pd 09:10	Boston Bruins	Jeff Odgers
Comments: There's a scrum near the penalty boxes and everyone's trying to get some words in. Murray grabs Odger's stick and throws it, Tucker is off to the side with McCleary trying to goad him into a fight. Thornton and Odgers finally break away and drop the gloves and grab onto each other. They each get position and then get the rights going. Piston-like action. Nine or ten from each, and then Thornton follows up with a couple of uppercuts. Thornton has a reach advantage and it appeared as though his punches are landed better. They start to wrestle near the boards and Thornton takes Odgers down. Odgers skates away bleeding around his left eye.

first of two losses in the game for odgers, at least he put in an effort this time.

Odgers couldn't hang with guys that had a just a few pounds on him cause he could B out muscled most of the time as evidenced here. Odgers was always game though, this dude never displayed any ounces of quit.
