Time Away Home
3pd 04:07 Mark Mancari (BUF) Darcy Tucker (TOR)
Comments: It starts as play moves in to the Toronto zone. The puck is stopped in front of the net and a scrum ensues. Paul Gaustad and Jay Harrison shove each other and eventually drop the gloves, but the refs quickly come in and break them up. Away from the play Darcy Tucker and Mark Mancari have a little conversation and decide to drop the gloves. It didn't look like the two were going to be able to fight as they were both tied up by linesmen, but Tucker threw off his gloves and Mancari followed suit. The linesmen back and off and let the two fight. They have a good square off and end up coming together at center ice. They grab on, get in close and circle around. Tucker sneaks in a short right hand and then works his right elbow pad off, but as he is doing that Mancari gets in a short left that reopens a previous cut Tucker had. Tucker tries to get loose again, but Mancari loses his balance and falls to the ice. Tucker throws a right hand to his downed opponent and then the linesmen break them up. Tucker was quite bloody afterwards due to the cut that was reopened by Mancari. Other Penalties: Paul Gaustad and Jay Harrison each received a roughing; Bryan McCabe an interference.
