Fair square off in the corner. Buchberger grabs on to Pronger jersey at the throat. Pronger pushes a weak left as Kelly comes in which ain't doing nothing. Buchberger winds up and thows a vicious right, but Sean sees it coming and ducks out of the way. Pronger ends up bent over and down on one knee. Buchberger winds up again with the right and fires, but it comes up short due to Pronger's long reach locking him out. Pronger is back to his feet. A wild right cross from Pronger is evaded. He fires again with the right and clips the bridge of Kelly's helmet. Pronger has the right free and Buchberger look to be in trouble. Sean wants to go with another right but goes off balance a bit. This gives Buchberger a chance with his right, but he's still locked out and it never reaches it's target. A wild right again from Buchberger clips across Pronger's helmet as Sean turns away. Pronger tries a weak uppercut which appears to land in Kelly's jersey somewhere. Pronger looks huge next to Buchberger. A bit of stalling as both guys show a little apprehension. Pronger has a left hand full of jersey and feeds it into Kelly's mouth with no damage. Oooh, there it was! Out of nowhere Pronger lands a straight right to Buchberger's jaw and he crumbles to the ice. Pronger goes down on top, but refrains from any more punches. The linesmen are in quickly. It's over.

This one starts not too long after the puck is dropped. Buchberger obviously looking for revenge in this fight for the fight earlier in the year. Both were both really throwin' 'em, however, Buchberger's just weren't landing as much. Pronger caught Buchberger with at least one good right that pissed off Buchberger and from that point Buch was just throwing wild rights that weren't connecting to well. Pronger then gets his arm tied up in his jersey and they get tangled up against the boards. After some jostling around Pronger throws Buchberger to the ice. This was a fun one to watch. Especially after Pronger caught Buchberger with a quick right jab and Buch started throwing those rights. Entertaining bout.

Dec 26, 2002	2pd 12:31	PHO	@ LOS	Brad Norton
It all started when Lappy was driving into the yotes zone when all of the sudden Todd Simpson spears him in the neck. Clearly intentional, droping Lappy to the Ice. Then Lappy gets up and takes a run at Simpson behind the net and all of the fireworks start. Players start picking dance partners and Norton goes with Buchberger. Both players land a few before droping to the ice with Buchy on top of Norton firing off on Norton's head. There was a brief moment when both players got up, but went back down again. Other Penalties: Todd Simpson received a double high sticking, unsportsmanlike conduct and roughing; Ian Laperriere a double charging and roughing; Norton an instigator and misconduct.

Jan 11, 2003	2pd 18:24	PHO	@ NAS	Cale Hulse
This fight starts as the Nazarov-Buchberger-Hordichuk line is out on the ice. Naz skates about a half a shift, comes off and enter Mike Johnson. Johnson skates over to the side boards and grabs the puck, only to be met with a check from behind from Scott Hartnell. Everybody gathers in as Hordichuk is running around and facewashing everyone, and that includes Bill Houlder. Hulse sees this and goes after Hordi only to be met by Kelly Buchberger. Buchberger steps in front of Cale, pushes him backwards and they drop em. A fair squareoff, as everyone on the ice stops pushing and watches. Hulse makes the first move, jumping in and landing a right jab to Kelly's chin. Kelly then grabs on and the hold, with Hulse having a considerable height advantage. They grapple, try to find position and get set. Kelly misses a left cross and falls out of his recently gained position and Hulse lands a pretty nice right. That irks Kelly and he buries his head into Hulse and throws three rights and coming up short each time. To throw those rights, he had to let go of Cale's left. Big mistake. Cale brings up his left and lands a hard straight left to Buchberger's cheek. This was the best punch of the fight. Buchberger tries to hold on, but then Hulse takes him down. Other Penalties: Mike Johnson, Scorr Hartnell and Darcy Hordichuk received roughings.

It all starts with Mara and Nash, these two are getting the sticks high, Mara shoves Nash into the boards and the whistle is blown. Mara clearly challenged Nash and Nash declined and everyone comes in. Nazarov wanted Low, but Low fell. So they go to commercial break. They show a replay of Walker and Buchberger having a good hold on each other and both are throwing short punches that hit decent. Both lose balance and Walker is on top throwing 4-5 punches that land on the helmet and the side of Buchberger's head. The linesman finally rush over and stop it. Other Penalties: Andrei Nazarov, Reed Low and Paul Mara each received a roughing; Walker a game misconduct.

Mar 15, 2003	2pd 17:14	@ PHO	ANA	Lance Ward
Ward gets a little too close to the Phoenix net after a whistle and everyone comes together. Immediately Buchberger shoves him and the gloves come off. It takes Buchy a while to get his right glove off, but he finally gets it off and they go at it. A lot of grappling at first until Ward gets loose and throws a right that didn't look to land. They grapple a bit more and Buchy throws a left which misses and they fall to the ice.

Mar 22, 2003	3pd 02:39	@ PHO	TAM	Andre Roy
Pellerin gets a penalty, and while the play is dead Buchy bumps into Roy. They both look at each other and drop their gloves. They grapple at first against the boards until Roy gets free. He throws several punches, a few looked to land cleanly. He gets Buchy off-balance, pinned against the boards. It looks like the fight is about over until Buchy regains his balance and spins around throwing a nice left that lands. Roy also threw a right and they fall off-balance. On the way down Buchy throws a wild left which didn't look like it landed. Other Penalties: Scott Pellerin received a tripping.

Buchy was giving Forsberg a hard time. Parker was lined up across from him and after the puck is dropped Buchy dropped the gloves first, but fell right away. Parker threw 3-4 mild punches that all hit Buchy in the arm or shoulder before the linesmen stepped in.
