Jean-Francois Jacques vs Andy Sutton

When a guy is being held by another player, then run, you bet a fight will start. If it doesn't, the team is weak and will be run again and again. Sutton hit Rivet high last week, and Rivet cleaned his clock. It's pretty clear folks are tiring of his "gonna cause an injury" hits and are letting him know he'll pay for that stuff.

Sutton won, as he should have, he's 5" taller than Jaques.

clear DRAW

Sutton tried to hit Gilbert by hip-check skating backwards, but Gilbert stopped so it was common colision. JFJ is moron...

Commentators all around the league continue to complain about the fight after the clean hit. I for one have no problem with it and its not because I love watching a good scrap.

We love a clean hit, some of them are dangerous, and sometimes guys get hurt. Nobody wants to see clean hits become illegal, and nobody wants to see their players become injured. Everyone likes watching fights... so I'm not sure what the problem is here. Players can police the game themselves. And it is far better than the alternative.

Remember Mike Brown's devastating clean hit on Jiri Hudler last playoffs? Or Kronwall blasting Martin Havlat into last year? Both player's where ejected and neither should have been. Both players may have deserved a good smack in the face though. Let the boys play, and quit complaining about good exciting hockey.

Again, I really don't see what the need is for JFJ to pick a fight. It was a clean hit, and it wasn't even that hard. It's not like Gilbert went flying anywhere.


Clear draw.

Sutton coming in for the hit almost skating backwards...

Jacques shouldn't have gotten the instigator, both threw their gloves down at relatively the same time.

Draw, no big shots landed.

Simply A Draw .......................but credit to Mr Jean-Francois-Jacques for sticking up for his team mate !.

Please remember that not everyone in the rink or on the ice has a bird's eye view. JFJ has a game to play and it obviously happened quick and I'm sure he didn't have as clear a view as us. The only thing he is certain of is that his teamate is on hit rear and the other guy is standing up. Having said that I'm pretty sure he still would have come over and stuck up for a teammate regardless of how he was hit or what happened. If he doesn't he goes back to the bench and what do you think the coaching staff thinks? There's a reason these guys are in the big league folks.
I for one can't believe it's his first dust-up of the season, I'm think he would have fared better had Sutton not gotten the hands up on his "fly-in" but still would have hands full.
Draw.

not too much going on in this fight.

Didn't Sutton just get jumped by Rivet in the last game for a questionable forearm/elbow? I know some might say the players he went after got low, but if Sutton is going to lead with the elbow, it's going to be this kind of stuff every night for him. Can't wait until a legit fighter takes him on for one of these questionably dirty plays.

Don't get this but hey, a scraps a scrap. If you instigate the scrap, then you should handle your partner. Jockstrap looked like he was pissed because Mandy hit Tommy with a butt bump and he didn't get any of the luvin'. Mandy didn't want and part of it either so he made him smell his own pit stank with the jersey pull. Pretty weak draw.

For once, I am in agreement with the guys at FSN. Fights after a good NEEDS to stop. Back in the day, if you got smoked, you'd looked for who did it, take his number and then get him when the time was right. Now it's fight after fight when a good hit is delivered. This would be the only time the Instigator is needed.

Mr. Sutton with the slight edge and win. Kudos for him to not back down for the submarine attack.

listen to the Isles guys whine over what was a pretty sissy fight!! :-)

bostonrss you are just as bad as mcb so ill just assume your the same guy, go find something to do pissant
"dropped" hahahaha

how does sutton have the win when all he does is tie jacques up before pullin his sweater over

draw, 2

and this has to be the ****tiest announcer around, get him off the air

The announcers are right..what's the world coming to when you can't hit Tom Gilbert without being challenged? Good for Sutton for making him pay.
