Nod to Zetterberg. Malkin swings his stick at the back of Zetterberg then jumps him from behind and starts swinging before Zetterberg can drop the gloves. Loss for multiple douchebag moves. Plus 2 on 1 is a no no in fights.

well, I guess at least there's some emotion there, but I've seen my girls in a better fight than that.

HAHAAA! some of you guys are Hilarious. Malkin jumps him from behind ala Bertuzzi and he wins the fight? Saw Zetterbergs face in the post game interviews...not a mark on the guy. Malkin lands tons of blows? beats his ass? Just hatin' on the best team in hockey right now. The better scrap was with talbot and osgood behind this one ....some nice shots by ozzie landing landing. I was at the 2-0 game where he beat Roy into the boards. He's gonna win the conn smythe. Keep on hatin' folks...this "fight" is a draw.

Zetterberg was all like "get off my goalie man." Then he leans against the crossbar, staring off into space, probably thinking "hell yeah, we won this one. Almost time to go home and watch porn and drink some beer."

But no! Malkin must send a message! And apparently that message is "I need a nap and a diaper change."

Zetterberg realises that Malkin is delaying the time between the present and his viewing of "oiled up butts IV" and tries his best to remove the delay.

See how Zetterberg sorta skates around after the fight? He's back to daydreaming again: "Man, I can't wait to see those butts."

This fight poll has been completely distorted by fans from both sides because is such a contentious rivalry. Both of them landed look to have thrown two or three decent shots. But Zetterberg's were mostly after the Linesmen was covering Malkin, and all of Malkin's came early when Satan helped him pull down Zetterberg. Nothing but a draw. Wag of the finger to Malkin though for not dropping his stick before throwing those early punches.

Loved it! Quite a good fight between two stars. Geno definitely takes the win here, Z-Berg keeps skating away and trying hold on to Malkin, while Geno goes ape-**** on his ass. Zetterberg couldn't even do anything once Malkin was down to a knee.

With the gloves off, Malkin appears to land the only clean hit at the 1:34 mark, but no steam behind it and no balance turns this into a eurodraw.

So why does a league have rules when they are not enforced. Granted, the suspension to the instigator in the last minute is a stupid rule, but how can they pick and choose when it's enforced. Seriously, that's just ridiculous.

Malkin landed a lot of punches on him. This is actually one of the better fights of the year, in my opinion. If you didn't see it, you won't be able to decide till the video comes out - but Malkin definitely outpunched him and landed a LOT of punches. Good fight, better than most of the hugging/tackling you see on here.

Here's a vid link for those of you who are slow:

Since there's a lot of people on this site who are slow/mentally retarded (Detroit fans), we'll start from the Instant Replay towards the end of the video.

1:29-1:31 3 short left jabs, the first one he kinda grabs his face. 1:33 he misses with the right and the stick, but lands a left to the back of the head. 1:34 a small right uppercut right after the left. 1:35 a left jab to the face. 1:39 a hard right uppercut to the face followed immediately by a wild swing and a miss. A right from Zetterberg at 1:45 (this is the only punch he actually lands, the ref blocks the rest of them). Glancing left by Malkin at 1:51 to the chin of Zetterberg.

Malkin won this one by a landslide.

nice to see hank step up even after malkin nearly beat him with the stick, but aside from that the refs are trying to make this series go 7 games just like last year.and again the wings are going to have to battle the refs again.but i noticed that after game 3 in the locker room kronwall said that malkin will need to be ready for game 4 so this should be good tonight


Wings in 5
