While he's pushing with one Cap, Verot comes over to challenge him. Tootoo accepts and they shed the gloves. Verot gets the fight started with a right that goes over Tootoo's head. While Verot is bringing his hand back, he removes Tootoo's helmet. Verot tries another right that goes over Tootoo's head again. Verot then throws a weak right that hits the back of Tootoo's neck. They throw simultaneous punches. Tootoo throws a left that hits Verot's shoulder or face, Verot's right comes under Tootoo's left and looks to hit Tootoo's chin or cheek pretty flush. Tootoo responds with a short left that lands flush and knocks down Verot. Verot gets back up and they grapple for a second or two before Tootoo takes down Verot. Tootoo might have landed a left to the back of Verot's head on the way down.

Time Away Home
1pd 10:46 Darcy Verot (WAS) Jordin Tootoo (NAS)
Comments: They bump in front of the penalty box and Verot slashes Tootoo. They both seem to drop the gloves at the same time. Tootoo sheds his lid after he drops his gloves and Verot does the same. They skate all the way from the near boards to the far boards during their square off, Verot has to remove his hair from his eyes. They finally dive in and start throwing rights. Each fighter throwing two or three rights. Verot and Tootoo both land punches. Tootoo then switches hands and throws two lefts, only one looked to land. They grapple for a second and Tootoo tries another left that goes over Verot's head. Tootoo gets Verot's jersey over his head after he misses the left. Verot then throw a blind right that hit's Tootoo's shoulder. Tootoo answers back with three rights. All three look like they probably hit Verot's face, but it's hard to tell because Verot's jersey is over his face. Verot somehow managed to get Tootoo's jersey over his head after Tootoo threw the third right. They are now both blind and Tootoo jerks Verot down to a knee. The linesmen come in and Verot tries a right over the linesmen and Tootoo tries to answer back with a left over the linesmen. Niether player's late punch seemed to do any damage. They finally break up and it's over. Tootoo was given a match penalty for having tape on his hand. Other Penalties: Tootoo received an attempt to injure match penalty.
Voted winner: Jordin Tootoo (63.6%) - Voted rating: 6.8
