Did that wanker Pierre call him Scott Thornton? Happened all the time when Shawn was breaking into the league but havent heard it for a while.

Draw a decent fight with nuthing significant landing.

[Flyers2001]

Decent fight, very uninspiring game. Nothing worse for a neutral fan than an unemotional blowout.

Draw.

There must be a lot of Bruin homers voting. This fight was a pretty clear draw to me.

sounded like Pierre enjoyed the fight...turning over a new leaf?

Edge Thornton. Janssen's punches came up well short, Thornton atleast landed a few.

Funny, to me it looked like the other way around. I thought Janssen did land better but not enough to take a win. Anyways, say what you want about Janssen's style, there is one thing he is great in, he simply has the ability to lock up his opponents so that they have to fight the way he wants. He usually decides how the fight is fought.

Typical Janssen fight...goes on forever but nothing really happens. Draw.
I was hoping with the lopsided score things would turn ugly. But the game was pretty emotionless, especially from the Devils side. Even Marty Broduer appeared to have mentally checked out on Thornton's goal.

It was like they both had exactly the same length arms.

Draw. I never saw Boulton challenge McQuaid, when did this happen? Is this one of these incidents where one guy happened to look at the other guy and it's considered a "challenge?"

Late in the 3rd period, Boulton and McQuaid went into the corner in the Boston end. As the camera was panning away, you could see Boulton turn toward towards McQuaid and glance in his direction. It was a split second thing before they were both out of the frame. Who knows what happened or if anything was said? there's no way to know. But who needs the facts. This is hockeyfights.com dammit! Boulton said "lets go!" and McQauid said "no, please don't hurt me Mr. Boulton".
