eng-carkner? hamonic is out with a sprained ankle btw

[NickDoh]

I know we've had games FUBAR'd by refs already, but how awesome does this day look on paper going off the first week we had?

over/under at 8.5 fights. (4 at 7pm, 2 at 730, 2.5 last two.) PLACEYABETS.

I'm thinking Boll-Konopka as a lock

I agree..

This should be a great night for fight fans...
Take your pick, I see one in every game with the exception of Dallas-Detroit.

[shaud19]

Sabres having a 3 game losing streak facing their nemesis Toronto at home, it should be a hard hitting game. Scott and Orr should be a lock....I'm going to guess Kaleta gets in his first fight tonight.

[RetardedChimp]

I'de like Simmonds to find Bickel. Sestito is for Rupp or Asham.

Fully expect Scott to go after Orr tonight, most likely with a different style. Orr should oblige. Scott needs to show the rest of the league if his first fight with Orr was a fluke or not.

If both are dressed I don't see why Parros and Labrie wouldn't fight.

Boll-Konopka is probably a lock.

[dtb1381]

Boston NJ should be ok as long as one of Jansenn and Barch are dressed (which they should be) Hopefully there both in. But one of them will go with thornton. McQuaid ussually always offers Clarkson and clarkson ussually always declines, but maybe he will oblige. Also looking forward to Scott-Orr rematch, but Scott better save it for thursday. Bruins will be in full force im positive Macdermid will play in place of Bourque

I really, really hope MacDermid replaces Bourque in the Bruins lineup. Bourque has been absolutely terrible in these first few games. When he's not turning the puck over he's taking stupid penalties.

As for tonight:

Shawn Thornton vs Krys Barch (Lock if Barch plays)
Colton Orr vs John Scott
Mike Brown vs Steve Ott
Tom Sestito vs Michael Rupp
Chris Thorburn vs Brandon Prust
Matt Carkner vs Deryk Engelland
Derek Dorsett vs Zenon Konopka

[Killah_punk]

There is some potential for fireworks tonight.

Janssen/Barch vs Thornton
Orr vs Scott
Brown vs Ott/Foligno
Shelley/Sestito vs Rupp/Asham
Simmonds vs Bickell
Thorburn vs Prust
Hendricks/Erskine vs Neil/Smith
Carkner/Boulton vs Engelland
Martin vs Glass
Parros vs Crombeen
Boll vs Konopka

[Humpzilla]

Big potential for some great action tonight

[nyrgoal]

Has Barch or Jansen played this year? I havent seen any Devils games yet.

Looks like it could be a pretty big night tongiht.

I expect Sestito to want another piece of Bickel and I expect the same outcome as last game.

Shelley vs Rupp
Orr vs Scott

[Philly Fan 27]

sounds like rinaldo will be back and taking mcginn's spot on the 4th line

[gdameo]

Scott should try again with Orr to win his fans back. Good warm up for him before the Bruins on Thursday!

Look for Kaleta/Ott to mix up with Fraser or Brown.

[mikebflorida]

I can't believe Parros doesn't have a single fight yet, that's just crazy. I don't see it happening in tonight's game either unless Labrie suits up and that's doubtful, Boucher usually doesn't mess with a winning lineup.

I'm not sure if I want to see Orr and Scott fight again, believe it or not, a motivated Scott is kind of frightening. I can't get the thought of Orr and a broken orbital out of my head.

I'm going with 9 fights total tonight.
