Date Time For Against Opponent
Oct 14, 2002 1pd 13:31 PHO @ CBJ Tyler Wright
Comments: Vaananen takes exception to a wild hit by Wright and drops him behind the play, they both drop the gloves quickly and grab on for dear life. Wright is not known for his fighting, but does a credible job in the wrestling match to rip Vaananen's helmet off so he can take a few swings at his head with his left. Wright landed the only blows of the bout, including opening a cut on Vaananen's cheek. Other Penalties: Vaananen received an instigator, unsportsmanlike conduct, double cross checking and misconduct.

Date Time For Against Opponent
Oct 31, 2002 3pd 03:19 PHO @ PHI Mark Recchi
Comments: Van runs over Recchi with a questionable hit and the Recching ball goes after the Sheided One. Recchi bumps Vaananen who gives a nasty backhand slash at Recchi's leg. Recchi drops the gloves and looks to land a nice uppercut to Van's face knocking his helmet and sheild off. Rechhi throws two rights that don't land, then lands another nice uppercut. Vaananen (just like in the Wright fight) has no interest in anything but holding on after he looses his protection. He tries to pull Recchi to the ice with 2 handfulls of jersey, finally jumping to the ice to pull Recchi down, making Recchi look like a ghost with his jersey pulled over his head. Then, after the refs have a hold, Vaananen has to be held back from throwing a punch at Recchi.
