Please explain how you call Boychuk/Talbot a draw when one guy threw no punches (as in zero) and the other guy threw two...one of which definitely connected? I would really be interested in the logic on this one.

Zac Rinaldo

Born Jun 15 1990 -- Hamilton, ONT
Height 5.11 -- Weight 180 -- Shoots L

I'm the same height as he is, I weigh a bit less than 180,and there is no way that he and I are the same weight. That man is pushing 190.

Win Rinaldo.

Win Boychuk. (Talbot fucking sucks and I really hope he glues his gloves on for the rest of his career.)

Win Rinaldo

Win Boychuk

where did those punches connect? definite helmet shots. probably hurt his hand more than talbot. i cant speak for those calling it a draw, but from what i gather it's because boychuk got the jump on him (wendell clark style), had a visor on even though he wanted the fight, and nothing really connected. I called it a win boychuk because i like the bruins style. is that a good reason? probably not, but oh well. could have just as easily said draw.

Rinaldo playing the air guitar on Greg's face hahaha

Draws, second wasnt really a fight.

Rinaldo only landed one decent punch. Everything at the end missed. Campbell made them look better because of the way he was ducking, and the camera angle, it was like a bad action movie.

But apparently the Philly bench liked it.

jack edwards is the worst.

Jack Edwards is the best of today's lot. Fair and accurate is far overrated in a hockey commentator. Edwards is far too impartial. I long for the days of Fred Cusick and Derek Sanderson. That's when we had real commentators.

You should be calling out your boy FattPatt here, who called the Rinaldo fight a draw and a TKO win for Boychuk.

I would really be interested in the logic behind you going after mcginty and not FattPatt.

No matter how many punches Rinaldo actually landed, he had Campbell all over the place bailing from his punches at the end of the fight. How that is less decisive than getting a quick jump on a guy and clipping him once behind the ear is beyond me.

Hell anyone who isn't a Bruins fan liked it! That was awesome the way Rinaldo was doing his best Pete Townsend impression while Campbell was ducking this way and that trying not to be knocked out.

First off, this is what I said:

You call that "calling out?" It was a civil question and nobody but you seemed upset by it...maybe you should take a look at your sense of outrage and think about places where you could justify it...if they exist.

Lastly, I don't answer for anyone...if you don't like FattPatt's observations take them up with him.

In the meantime, win Rinaldo, win Boychuk.

I trust the Flyers and NHL.com. hockeydb.com has Dave Brown at 205 pounds anyway...
