Fights

Time Away Home
1pd 09:27 Mike Peluso (NJD) Keith Primeau (HFD)
Comments: When they throw the gloves off one of the linesmen gets between them to tries and break it up, but he finally gets out of the way and lets them go. Peluso starts off with two lefts that Primeau ducks under. Primeau answers with two rights of his own that Peluso now ducks under. Peluso returns with the left as Primeau continues with the right. Peluso misses with the first left, but drops Primeau to his knees with the second and Peluso lays on top of Primeau to stop the fight. Other Penalties: Primeau received a charging; Peluso a roughing; Randy McKay a high sticking.
Voted winner: Mike Peluso (94.3%) - Voted rating: 6.0

Time Away Home
2pd 16:34 Randy McKay (NJD) Stu Grimson (HFD)
Comments: These two hook and shove each other off the faceoff, and finally drop the gloves. They start off in-close, with McKay's right free. He throws two overhand rights. The first one hitting Grimson on the chin, the second missing, and follows it with a right uppercut that misses. Grimson finally gets free and throws three rights, one landing. Grimson then struggles to get his arm out of his jersey, finally does, and throws five rights, most missing. McKay answers with five of his own, some landing. They hold each other off for a while, then Grimson gets the right free and lands a big right on McKay's face, dropping him to his knees. McKay gets back up, only to be hit several times on the helmet. Grimson skates and wrestles McKay up against the glass. They're holding each other off, then Grimson throws three final rights, one of the first two landing and the last one a uppercut that also looks to land. The linesman step in to save McKay.
Voted winner: Stu Grimson (97.9%) - Voted rating: 7.5
