Love seeing 2 rugged defensemen squaring off as a result of the play.

I was really impressed by Fraser in this scrap. He didn't look that great vs MacDermid a few weeks ago, but he looked like a different fighter here. A solid barrage of jabs, hooks, and body shots kept McQuaid on the defensive. I was impressed that McQuaid took those shots so well and even managed to land a couple odd hooks of his own during the onslaught, but he was definitely a bit outclassed by Fraser.

I wish we could have seen something develop out of the McQuaid-Orr-Thornton debacle in the 3rd period. I had a few beers in me at the time so I don't remember exactly what happened, but If I recall correctly it looked like McQuaid hit a Leaf, Orr came in gloves off ready to go, and before McQuaid even had a chance to engage, Thorts came in to take on Orr himself. Unfortunately, the linesmen ****ing ruined that one.
