Fights

Time Away Home
3pd 16:06 Eric Cairns (NYI) Dale Purinton (NYR)
Comments: Purinton and Cairns are in the crease. Cairns is turned and Purinton drops the gloves and cracks Cairns with a big punch just as Cairns is getting his gloves off. Purinton keeps punching as Papineau jumps in, then Snow, then everyone. Cairns takes a moment, regains composure, the crowd gets off of him and he gets up and goes after Purinton while both are being held by the linesmen. Cairns is trying to get at Purinton while Purinton is covering up. Cairns gets some punches in, but nothing much is getting through. While Papineau was really third man in, Snow's tossed for being "third" man in for some reason. Other Penalties: Purinton received an instigator, misconduct and game misconduct; Garth Snow a game misconduct.
Voted winner: Dale Purinton (56.3%) - Voted rating: 4.1

Time Away Home
3pd 18:32 Arron Asham (NYI) Matt Barnaby (NYR)
Comments: Barnaby gives Scatchard a push going into the Islanders zone and by Dipietro Barnaby's waiting for Asham and they drop their gloves and grab on. They grab with the left and throw with the right at first. Barnaby gets off the first few, then Asham responds with a few of his own. They slow down and start going back and forth one at a time in a grapple. Asham is having problems getting his right free so he slips it out of his jersey. He takes over from there landing some hard shots and spinning the two of them against the glass. The linesmen come in at that point.
Voted winner: Arron Asham (93.6%) - Voted rating: 6.9

Time Away Home
3pd 18:32 Dave Scatchard (NYI) Chris Simon (NYR)
Comments: After the Asham-Barnaby fight the rest of the players on the ice (sans Dunham) are in a scrum Simon's pushing everyone around now and winds up going after Dave Scatchard. He's throwing gloved punches, but Scatchard has a brace on and can't fight. Simon drops the gloves, as does Scatchard when Simon gets in-close and Scatch holds on while Simon punches him for a bit. The linesmen can't break it up too effectively at first because more players are pairing off. They fall to the ice where Scatch is able to throw a couple of shots, but nothing really. In the mean time Messier's pushing around with Blake. Dipietro goes to get in between, but the two break away. Dunham skate down, but nothing happens. Messier and Blake continue to push and shove, and Messier's got Blake by the neck while Blake's trying to reach Messier with a punch-shove. The linesmen come in to break that up too. Other Penalties: Rick Dipietro received a leaving the crease penalty; Jason Blake a roughing; Mark Messier a double roughing; Simon a roughing and game misconduct; Scatchard a game misconduct.
Voted winner: Chris Simon (79.4%) - Voted rating: 3.7
