Wow, look at the massive turnover from last season. It seems so long ago.

[Colt Seavers]

Hopefully-Detroit can turn that number around!

I would've thought McGrattan-Godard would've came first! But-the Peters bouts were great!

[canuck2]

Laraque number one and McGrattan best rookie. I couldnt be happier. Good job boys.

All the awards make sense this year, but we need a better player feud next year.... players that actually hate each other

Absolutly. There is waaaaaaaaaay to much respect. I do think Boogie and Gratts has the potential to turn to hatred.

[dipandmitts]

i agree the gratts and boogie thing could get get ugly after last year

[AyrEagle]

what happened to the best hit of the year?

[Krahn]

Beside's Laraque and Chara Cause no one can touch them... Boogaard n' Hordichuk are tha toughest in tha league, n believe me boogaard will tussle wit chara again!

[KirshSritharan]

[SoZ]

[mr.black]

Detroit wins worst enforcing team in the legue by a landslide.Even Carolina beats them in that category.

Again? When have they "tussled" before? I don't recall.

[Gr8NorthStars]

This is the only fight i want to see now, Nobody uses the jersey hand as skillfully as Boogaard in these fights and i want it to be proven! McGrattan just doesnt stop punching thats all he's got, Boogaard just waits for his punch and waits for his punch then delivers it when the other guy gets tired of the onslaught of punches they throw b/c they know they will get a beat down form Boogaard. I know they already fought once but it was a good fight, and Boogaard made the last KO blow, but still we need to see this again now that they are both more seasoned.
