Possible Fights 1/31/12

[RCSheppy]

I can see Carkner looking for Lucic for a second fight, not because of the fact that Lucic beat him, but because it would take Lucic off the ice for five minutes.

I have a feeling Chara will go tonight as well...

Chara vs Neil
Thornton vs Carkner
McQuaid vs Konopka

McGratton has been a healthy scratch the last 3 or 4 games. Hopefully he's in tonight with Kassian up and then plays Thursday against us also. With McGratton in I would hope we dress Shelley. I'd hate to see Rinaldo take a shot at McGratton. I don't think that would work out well for him.

If the Caps are up tonight I could easily see Rechlicz fighting both Barch and Labrie if he gets the opportunity. Rechlicz is one of the few guys I've seen lately that is more than willing to fight twice in a game.

Back at it,great potential tonight!
Thornton v Carkner
McQuaid v Neil (McQuaid gets challenged for the knee on knee,last game)
Looch v Konopka
Campbell v Smith
Rupp v Boulton
Thorburn v Simmonds
Mayers v Weise
McGratton v Kassian(Gratts better be dressed,good chance for Kassian to show what he's got against the best!)

I will be watching Sens/Bs tonight. I hope:

Carkner - Lucic (round 2)
Carkner - Thornton
Neil - Lucic
Neil - Thornton
Konopka - McQuaid
Smith - Campbell (round 2)

By the way, for Thrillhouse, Travis Moen and Petteri Nokelainen are out and aren't even back on their skates yet.

MCGRATTAN. There is no 'O' in his name.

Engelland vs Rosehill
Tangradi vs Schenn

Here comes the buzzkill.

With the Capitals calling up tough guy Joel Rechlicz from AHL Hershey (184 penalty minutes in 27 games) there was talk of a possible throwdown with either Tampa Bay's Steve Downie or Labrie. "It's not all about fights," Labrie said. "It's about the hockey."

Send this ***** back to Norfolk where he belongs. What a joke -- he knows he'd get smashed...f'n ******

I don't see Labrie turning down Rechlicz. He knows he only provides one aspect to the Lightning.

I'm actually glad he's downplaying it like that, maybe the refs won't have such a big microscope on this game.

You know they actually play hockey, right?

Some really good potential matchups tonight. Everyone is also well rested and healed from the break so scraps should be plentiful.

Bruins-Sens has a ton of potential matchups. In the Rangers-Devils I want to see Boulton-Rupp and also Dubinsky-Clarkson rematch.

I doubt McGrattan dresses but if he does then he'll fight Kassian for sure.

[hlaverty06]

Dammit why is Janssen out. Put Mills Boulton and Janssen on a line....not this bernier kid.

Well then again we do need to win..

So if Wrecker runs around and Labrie does nothing, thats okay?

If Labrie doesn't do anything tonight, the guy should never see NHL ice again. He's in the league for only 1 real reason. But apparently this kid thinks he's here to make a great pass up ice...then pick his nose on the bench for the rest of the 55:00 minutes during the night.

But hell, this kid probably won't even be able to stay on his skates for 10 seconds, even if these two were to drop the gloves. And Its not like there's even any hope of him landing a punch.....

Looking forward to seeing Rechlicz tonight, and from what I've seen from Labrie he's been embarrassing. He was called up to actually provide some level of toughness, and his hugfest the other night was awful. When your division rival calls up a HW, who will most likely run around tonight, you might want to answer the bell. Clearly he's not promoting this, but his comments are a bit concerning.

McQuaid better find somebody tonight to ****in fight...Thornton is at 12 fights already for the year, with 35 left..... Last year Mac tooks some heat off Shawn and he better start doing it again.

[gdameo]

man....habs are pathetic....they actually have NOBODY in line up tonight

I agree with what RC said, if he had said anything else people would be jumping on him for bringing attention to himself.

Just give the guy a chance..
