The night before in Fayetteville Needham ran Collins and Buccella immediately when in and fought Needham. In years past I've seen guys run the goalie and nothing happened but clean up had to happen on Needham and it did.

The first 2 fights on Saturday were challenges on the face-off of guys of at least equal size by the losing team in a lopsided game. Then Buccella wanted to go with Mclaughlin a skilled player again of about equal size and then Whiters stepped in and protected his skilled player, and you have a problem with that. Now about 25 seconds later Lewis and Carlenius are along the boards and a fight breaks out with Lewis who is what 4 inches taller than a Swedish Defensmen who I don't think has ever been in a fight and beats him and spills a fair amount of blood. Are you really telling me that you didn't expect anything to happen to Lewis?

Cole takes a high stick from Coyle and then beats the crap out of him and he turtles and once again whats the damn problem at least Carlenius had the balls to fight even though he knew it wasn't his thing. Coyle took his beating like a little bitch in jail. So the game is even more out of hand and Buccella goes after Lewis and Lewis turtles also, he has no problem fighting with a skilled player but just covers up on the ice and you call out Buccella for taking up for a team mate and call him a puss, once again give me a freaking break. I think the fact that you guys all hate him just shows how valuable he is because the guy puts it out on the ice every shift checking guys in the boards and sticking up for his teammates. Buccella doesn’t take a shift off and I'm sure if Lewis wants to square up on a face-off next time they meet he'll accept his offer. My guess is that Lewis won’t even ask for another dance. I like they way you call out the Antz players and then gloss right over the crap that Richmond did like Karasiewicz going after Colangelo and once again what’s the size difference there.

Lewis went after your skilled player after Buccella went after Mclaughlin..... if you were at the game saturday night you would have seen that lewis didn't jump anyone and only went after someone went the antz started going after skilled players... buccella jumped lewis from behind... jumping someone from behind is not sticking up for one of your teammates.... lewis challenged your swedish man and he dropped them fair and square.... buccella thought he was a monkey and climbed on the back of lewis, tackled him, and then started throwing punches... if that's what you call sticking up for someone, you may want to rethink your philosophies on hockey fighting... sticking up for someone is challenging them and dropping them and going, not jumping on someone.....i could care less who won between richmond and the ants....

well maybe the rivalry is back. buccella jumped lewis knowing his hands were taped up from his earlier fight, that is cheap for sure. buccella did what he was supposed to do on thursday. regarding, lewis and carlenius, carlenius accepted the fight and in a fight injuries can happen. i don't think any of the renegades tried to fight the antz goal scorers, if that was the case sich would get jumped every game. buccella being a decent fighter should challenge withers on the ice and not beau. look foward to dec. 10

Lewis didn't even drop the glove on his right hand when buccella jumped him. Do they still get a game misconduct and possible suspension for fighting with taped hands?

I hope Cole gets whats coming to him next time these two play. After his little dust-up with Coyle he looked like the second coming of Chad Wilcox.

As of last year I believe an attempt to injure match game misconduct is issued for fighting with taped hands.

good question, especially in a case like this since he would have been drawn into the fight, because then you have to look at the fact he would have the right to defend himself. i'd like to see an answer on this if anybody knows or finds out.
