Fights

Time Away Home
2pd 02:35 Murray Baron (MON) Troy Mallette (BOS)
Comments: Baron shoves Mallette into the boards after the whistle blows and the two end up dropping the gloves. They grab ahold of each other and exchange simultaneous right hands: Baron's shot just misses the mark, but Mallette's punch connects flush and sends Baron straight to the ice. Mallette gets in another right while Baron is down, but the linesmen are right there to break things up. Baron is slow to get up and is eventually escorted to the locker room with the help of his teammates. He is also sporting a bloody face due to a cut above his left eye. Other Penalties: Mallette received a misconduct.
Voted winner: Troy Mallette (99.0%) - Voted rating: 7.5

Time Away Home
3pd 09:10 Scott Thornton (MON) Jeff Odgers (BOS)
Comments: There's a scrum near the penalty boxes and everyone's trying to get some words in. Murray grabs Odger's stick and throws it, Tucker is off to the side with McCleary trying to goad him into a fight. Thornton and Odgers finally break away and drop the gloves and grab onto each other. They each get position and then get the rights going. Piston-like action. Nine or ten from each, and then Thornton follows up with a couple of uppercuts. Thornton has a reach advantage and it appeared as though his punches are landed better. They start to wrestle near the boards and Thornton takes Odgers down. Odgers skates away bleeding around his left eye.
Voted winner: Scott Thornton (94.9%) - Voted rating: 7.3
