Which Stortini are you talking about? The one who gets his ass handed to him by middleweights unless he hangs on and covers like a bitch. How many wins does he have in his career? A couple vs Parros is all I can recall of the top of my head. He doesn't deter other teams from taking liberties, he actually encourages them too, so the other team can get an easy win vs him and the momentum that goes with it.

see the thing about stortini is he is willing he will fight anybody i can't think of a single heavyweight he hasn't fought... but the guy needs to learn how to fight he showed promise early in his career and lots of promise while he was in the OHL but he doesn't even throw punches anymore just forearm shivers

He dropped shelley and went on a 3 fight win streak

Parros Shelley Parros.. not a bad streak to be honest

He punches are slow, looping and easy to counter/time. I really wish he would reinvent himself into a pest who won't fight and have Big Mac ride shot gun on his line

Yes...that Stortini. He is terrible but he was also gassed.

Looks like this was a fun game to watch. Vandermeer picks up the win over Barch in the first fight of the night.

Niskanen did surprisingly well for himself against Fraser, leading to that amusing "Down goes Fraser!" call at the end. Win for Niskanen.

Barch did a lot better in his second tilt of the night as he got the better of Stortini.

And I'll go with a draw between Peckham and Neal, not too much of significance going on there.

Good to see Jimmy Van throw the gloves down ! Been awhile since he has done that.

Stortini has got to be the biggest ***** in the entire NHL, why the hell does he even drop the mits anymore.

I get a kick out of Zack attack.... seems his fights are just way to damn predictable and always on the "loosing" end

I don't get it... If Storts was that tired just go for the wild haymaker and go down... Barch was picking away at him pretty good there.
