Excellent long fight! It's good too see McGrattan back in the NHL doing what he does best. Edge/Win Gratts.

Cam can really take a punch, has he ever been ko, or tko'd? Going with a draw.

You say that then call it a draw?

Gimme a break, your giving Cam credit for taking a punch in a fight? C'mon, I love Janssen but he lost that fight.

great fight. loved every second of it. i'll go draw.

loved the smiling and trying to get the crowd even more in to it.

(cam looks like a skinny, less afro'd seth rogan. i don't know how i didn't see it before. maybe it was the smiling.)

Cmon man,what are the linesman waiting for!!!!! F'ing major shots connecting,guys getting tired,not able to defend themselves after a minute of punching,how you supposed to play another shift after taking shots like that. Janssens willing but not able again,mcgrattan was so tired he just watched as Cam lined him up and connected fierce. Too long,this is how guys get hurt.Linesman need to do a better job at getting in there quicker.Obviously a great fight but how can anyone expect this night after night from these two.Cam Janssen has the longest fights because linesman wanna see him get beat up,IMO!

Win McGrattan.

Fighting Cam is really all about getting YOUR grip. Don't bother worrying about his grip at all. Grab the far shoulder, and beat the hell out of him. If you grab in the middle or the near shoulder, that's exactly what he wants to drag you into a lengthy fight like this. It's really that easy and that simple when fighting Cam.

In any event, a decent fight, win McGrattan.

Have to give the decision to McGrattan, but man have I been wanting to see Janssen fight in a Devils uniform for a while!

When its 2 guys like that, the linesmen know the players will stop it when the time is right. If its 2 guys that don't fight often, then yeah the linesmen will stop it to protect a tired guy. I think Janssen has the longest fights because he thrives off of getting hit. He asks for a few punches and it fires him up to start throwing as the other guy is wearing down. He always tells the refs to stay out of it.

Anyway, great fight between 2 warriors.

Win McGrattan, love how the two seemed to enjoy what they were doing, especially Gratts was smiling all fight long.

My best friend,fought him several times on the ice,says I'm getting soft,but I'm not relenting here. Wouldnt you want to bottle up that fight,so to speak,shut it down a bit early,with guys faces intact,to hear them say,they might want each other again? What more would they have to prove in this fight they let go on and on. Break it up at the 1st obvious sign of tiredness,Mcgrattan has the clear win. Make Janssen hungry to fight again,even the crowd will be like,Janssen was just getting started,lets see what happens next time. In other words,after this long fight,nothing else was gonna happen between these two. Its like the linesman are saying,ya know what,you wanna fight,fight till u cant and arent willing anymore,than we dont have to deal with your asses. I would rather have seen them fight twice,for half as short,each time.
