Barch putting his talents to use for Florida. Win for Barch. Prust had some problems staying on his feet in that one.

Nearly all Barch in this go-around. Prust loves a good fight, but Barch's HW experience really showed in this one. Win Barch.

May I just say... Thank you Florida!

Good of Barch to keep letting Prust get back to his skates - that was a pretty decent scrap, and a good win for Barch. Looked like the way Barch kept switching hands kept Prust guessing and off balance for most of the fight. But I liked how Prust kept at it and mounted his own offensive near the end of the scrap, though. But still a win for Barch in a bit of a wild one.

micheletti says prust cant say no,,,,well if he does why is he in the league than??if every tough guy only fought when his tean needed a spark there would never be any fights ,,,when are these guys gonna learn that if they dont do what goit them in the league they will not be in the league because all teams will be like detroit,

[Leafs_Fan18]

Win Barch.

[fcm]

All Barch.

Nice to see the Panthers bringing a tougher roster.

2 of my favorite fighters going at it here. Love the way Barch fights, he definitely gets the win in this one. Prust looked overmatched for most of the fight

Joe Micheletti is not anti-fighting by any means, and I don't think he meant Prust should never fight. I think he was just referring to the physical toll that fighting this often takes on Prust (who, by the way, would be in the league without fighting IMO), and the fact that Prust often fights guys who are bigger than him. Prust could still be valuable to the team with a few less fights, but he almost always seems willing.

Prust normally doesn't have balance issues, but in this one he definitely did, and Barch got the win.

repeated blows to ur face tend to bring out balance issues

Win Barch, would have been worse for prust if he stayed on his feet.

Huh????? First of all......the Rangers were up like 3 or 4-1 when that happened so Prust did not need to spark his team. Second.....Prust should not even taken that fight since all Barch was trying to do was spark HIS team. This just proves that Prust is probably the most willing guy in the league. He takes on all the heavies and middleweights. Last year he proved that he can be more of asset in the points department....thus having Boogy there to handle half the job. More of reason why we need Rupp back in the line-up.

Solid scrap, I'd give the decision to Barch over Prust. I really like seeing Barch staying active early on in his tenure with the Panthers.

[Shed The Gloves]

good fight. All Barch in this one, really wish dallas didnt let him go. But hes getting what he wants in florida, and that more playing time so good for him.

I like Prust, but he was outmatched in this one. Did Barch connect on the ones that snt prust to his knees? Good of Barch to let him get back up too, good fight, entertaining one.
