Not a very promising night tonight.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Hordichuck go with one of the immitation tough guys from Buffalo

Downie and Phaneuf after Phaneuf steam rolls Downie

[4thLineGoon]

12 teams and not one over 20 fights by Jan 3rd. Pathetic.

Can't believe I'm saying this, but the best chance for a scrap tonight will be in Buffalo.

very sad, it think best chance is in washington, jackman and hendricks have fought before so that might happen again same goes for iginla and brouwer, chimerra for some reason always fights or starts **** against the flames so maybe he goes with one of the many he has fought before

Hordichuk and McCormick had a brief fight last year that never got going before they both hit the ice. Would like to see a round 2 of that in person tonight...

How about Malone and Phaneuf? That would be interesting...

[RCSheppy]

I have no interest in seeing Phaneuf seatbelt...

[FHgrad99]

Might be a pretty slow night. I'll guess on these:

-Hordichuk vs. McCormick
-Hendricks vs. Jackman

[hlaverty06]

Devils Bruins will hopefully make up for it tomorrow!

This year has been terrible. Big article about it on Penguinslive.com Mac said the more he tries to fight the moe frustrated he gets. Says nobody in the league is willing to go anymore. Engel said there has been alot less willing guys in other teams lineups. Mac seems really irritated about fighting being waaaay down this year.

[IhateLindros]

Well Matt Martin has officially become a spot picker. His third time in 2 games where an opposing player has dropped the gloves and he just gets ragdolled. Love the guy but this is getting ridiculous.

Bring Haley back and or Gillies. A sign Gallant to a pro contract and get him on the Island. The isles can use some players with toughness and heart.

Big Mac is itching for a fight. So far he's been turned down by Neil, Carkner, and Jannsen that I know of. Maybe Rupp will be willing when the Pens play the Rangers.

Just saw a replay of that on Gamecenter Live, wow definitely wouldn't thought Martin would be backing down fro Allen...that was pretty bad
