Derek Boogaard vs Colton Orr

Orr started well, and hung in there as best he could...
against a lethargic-looking version of the behemoth.

But once he realized that his better moments were behind him...
he took the first ''bail'' opportunity that presented itself.

Still, no shame in that...
and guts-galore just for initiating it, in the first place...
much less hanging in there long enough to earn a legitimate draw.

I'll bet the smile on Orr's face at the end,
was because of one, of two things ...

A) he was genuinely happy to have survived
a close encounter with a Sasquatch,
and to have come out of it, virtually, unscathed,

or B) he realized that
the take-down at the end
might fool some people into thinking
that he actually won the fight.

Either way, props for an admirable comeback after the Engelland mishap.

The million dollar fighters go at it. Edge to Boogeyman for the direct shots to Orr's chops, though Orr came out much better than he did against Engelland.

Jumped him my A@@. Boogeyman is just slow and stupid.

Orr felt he needed every edge...even if it meant jump starting Boogie by 'surprise'.
Boogie in control most of the fight , caught Orr with one solid right.
I'm one who feels takedowns should at times be considered for brownie points but not applicable in this case.
Win Boogaard.

I'm callin it a draw.......yep! maybe could have gone Boogey man But ORR's my man!!!!!!

I think it was a good fight and a super show of Balls by ORR after sleepy time last week!!!!

Thats why he is SOOOOOO exciteing.....He ALWAYS GIVES HER!!!!!!!!
COWARD is not in this mans Vo-Cab
Juha 82 What are you watchin????? Boogard gives Orr the first shove and Orr responds and gets his gloves off first....... If this is called Jumping a person ........Go to Hakim optical where you can get 2 pair of glasses for the price of one......YA NEED EM!!!!!!!!!

slight edge Boogeyman...had to watch it a bunch 2 make the call....nice to see the top contenders go finally..we need more

Orr asked for it. he got it. W Boogie Man

Nice try by Orr to jump in before the fight started, but it still didn't work. Edge to Boogaard. Not sure what Orr was smiling about at the end, he wasn't smiling against Engelland last week.

The mighty reach of The Boogey Man wins the day yet again. Still, Orr wasn't dominated by any means, which is a testament to his toughness.

Orr was off the Mark quick but not really connecting, bogey came back with some head shots then Orr stopped it with the take down.
Both fighters didn't do enough for win. So I'm going with the draw.

Was all a bit disappointing in the end.

My hockey bag smells like Cheetos.

EDGE Boogaard for landing 3 hard blows.
Orr jumped to Boogeyman!!

Damn close fight, draw/dge Boogy.

Even fight Orr gets edge with nice take down of the mountain at the end.

The only thing Orr did was punch him before he got his gloves dropped, and the takedown. Other than that it was only punches hitting Orr's head. Win Boogaard
