Clean hit by a guy that spent the entire fight hiding between
O'Briens' glove, shoulder-pad, elbow-pad and jersey.
Effective evasive equipment elusivity.
Quadriple aliteration and a new word...Ding!

Nice hit by Zeiler but then he got pounded. W to O'Brien

Good hit. Zeiler wasn't a willing combatant. Easy win for O'Brien.

what the heck was zieler doing.

Another clean check starts a fight. If Hordichuk didn't like the hit, isn't he capable of doing something without O'Brien jumping in? I guess O'Brien still believes his boss told him to fight more often, regardless of what was really said. O'Brien with the rabbit punches for the win.

not sure why o'brien found it necessary to fight the smaller zeiller... it was a clean hit on hordi
either way, win o'brien

Zeiler actually tried to hide in O'Brien's jersey!!! The rarely used jersey-bottom grab, as opposed to the shoulder or elbow grab, rarely ends well. Who voted for Zeiler in this one??? Let me guess...brymaster1.

Another clean, hard hit results in a player jumping in and fighting. Snore.

SOB dominates here but no surprise either.

Zeiler obviously didn want to go. Another stupid move after clean hit. Isn't time to change the rules?

I can't say that I like the fights after a clean hit either but then again, I'm on this site because I like fights period. I just don't think guys should HAVE to fight just because they throw a good clean hit. In saying that, I think that O'brien challenged Zeiler because it was O'brien who gave Hordi that suicide pass that got him hammered in the first place. Easy win for O'brien. Pretty safe to say that Zeiler was overmatched. I think that Zeiler has the wrong jersey on. He should have one of those ugly Flaming C jerseys on, that the Calgirlsarehairy Flamers wear, since they can't win a fight either. Actually that's not entirely true, I heard that one of the Flamers might have earned a draw against a Swedish girls bantam house league team in the preseason.

Surprising that Zeiler threw the gloves off first, but then really wanted nothing to do with it. Edge to SOB, no question.

Kind of like when Iginla was cruising behind the "nucks net on Thursday looking to be tough, but when Rypien showed up, Iggy said "not me, no trouble here, can I go now?"

Give Zeiler credit, challenged by the much bigger O'Brien. How long do the linesman have to stand on the side as O'B continued to reign punch after punch to Zeiler's backside? Thank God Zeiler went to the ice as O'B was have pummeled him.

Would have better if Zeiler wouldn't have pussed out!

Like a criminal win for OŽBrian, absolute domination. OŽBrian thankfully realize that also and stopped landing too heavy pounds. Referee were the slowest ones in this episode.
