Possible fights 1/22/13

[brymaster1]

Clifford/Nolan vs Mcleod

I could also see Downie getting into a scrap.

Erskine is OUT tonight in favour of an offensive Czech d-man prospect. Yay. So I doubt Peluso will be in for Winnipeg.

[papas1175]

Erskine should look for a trade. He'll never get a fair shot with the Crapitals

No. Barch is a much better player. He used to put up a lot of points in Juniors whereas Janssen has made his entire career and rise to the NHL through fighting.

What is the best game to watch tonight in terms of fight potential?

i have no idea to be honest. i know alot of tough guys put up good #s in juniors. ive never been impressed by janssen's play. he can skate straight decently enough to get speed and make a hit, but he's borderline terrible.

Yeah he can skate but I agree he is a borderline terrible hockey player. Not sure there's a professional league in the entire world he could play in that didn't allow him to fight.

Don't know if this helps your discussion, but:
Barch came into league in 2007 and has 31 points
Janssen came into the league in 2006 and has 11 points.

I think you are right but someone said the other day that Barch is nursing an injury. Though one thing I think Janssen could do better is get in on the fore check and crush people, I think Barch is a slightly better fighter and player.

[IhateLindros]

Barch is nursing a groin injury anyway.

The with the most fight potential is probably the Blues-Hawks game.

how about luke schenn shows his little brother how to fight tonight?

[I_am_Belak_2]

Westgarth wearing #8 for Carolina.

[I_am_Belak_2]

Liking the pace to Caps/Jets. First 7 minutes were played without a whistle and surprisingly a lot of hitting.
