2007-08 Kocur Award: TKO or KO of the Year

Nominees

Ryan Malone breaks Mark Bell's Orbital Bone - January 3, 2008
Malone surprises us all TKOing Bell. Then we found out Bell would be out months with a broken face and wondered if Malone was giving Laraque a run for his enforcing money.

George Parros TKOs Riley Cote - February 2, 2008
What a sweet upper cut punch that flattens Riley Cote. This just had a 'classic punch' feel to it.

Craig Weller KOs Ole-Kristian Tollefsen - February 7, 2008
Weller proves to be a one-man wrecking crew, smashing Nash into the boards, leveling Dan Fritsche, then knocking out Tollefsen with a surprise punch and giving him a concussion. Crazy one punch.
Weller KOs Tollefsen Feb 7, 2008

Riley Cote TKOs Andre Roy's Season - March 6, 2008
In their fourth fight of the year, Cote flattens Andre Roy with a big punch. As Cote and the Flyers got pumped up from the fight in their home building, Roy got more and more incensed. The Flyers continued showing the fight on the big screen in the arena and Roy lost it, screaming at fans and Cote. He ended up making a throat slitting gesture and getting himself essentially kicked off the team for discipline problems for the remainder of the year.

Donald Brashear Knocks Down Shane Hnidy - March 8, 2008
I'm sorry if this isn't a real fight, but this was a beautiful sight. There's nothing like a surprise left gloved punch that buckles someone.
Brashear buckles Hnidy Mar 8, 2008

Daniel Carcillo KOs Krys Barch - April 3, 2008
Sweet right that drops Barch. Slightly less cool than Downey-Boulerice, which is really saying something!
Carcillo vs. Barch Apr 3, 2008


My Pick

I like all these in their own way. It's hard not to choose a KO when there is one available but the uppercut on Riley Cote was epic. Win 'Stache.
