Chris Neil started fighting all over the place at the beginning of the season this past year; didn't do **** to help the Sens win any games, though. |

Neil and Boll, would just be another go around, where your excited but it doesn't get the juices flowing nearly the way two randoms would.

You guys nailed it, the guys who are supposed to fight have to do their job, but that's not always enough to get a team going. When the entire team sees arguably their best or 2nd best player getting so fired up and emotional that he's actively going after another guy, and especially when you get the reaction that Zetterberg gave(sorry, Grittz, guy's a puss with the rough stuff) it can really spark your team. Sometimes the two tough guys going at it and having a good scrap wakes the crowd up too, which in turn lifts the team.
