Nov 08, 2001	1pd 10:20	NYR	@ NYI	Eric Cairns
Comments: Sandy McCarthy bangs with Cairns along the boards they have words, square off, but are a good distance away from each other. Play goes on and they become distracted (it appeared that Cairns decided not to take on McCarthy, and then stepped up, possibly changing his mind). While Cairns moves forward McKenna comes in on a partial breakaway, and gets off a weak shot. Osgood cannot control the rebound and McCarthy puts in the rebound. McCarthy, while in the crease, raises his arms in celebration and Cairns just pops him with a right to the jaw. McCarthy drops to the ice (possibly embellished after watching the replay). McKenna comes over and pretty much jumps Cairns. They are then able to face each other. McKenna threw a couple, none landing and Cairns basically went low on McKenna and dumped him. While this is going on Jason Blake stands in the front of the goal and McCarthy gives him a few pushes. Things then clear up in front of the net. Steve Webb then goes over to McCarthy to try and draw another penalty and McCarthy gives Webb a couple of glove-punches. Then, while Cairns is in the box, Fleury standing in front of the Rangers bench does the chicken flap. McCarthy flexes his muscles inside the box and him and Cairns have some words. Other Penalties: McCarthy received a roughing and misconduct; 10:20; Blake a roughing; Cairns a cross checking; Webb a misconduct; McKenna an instigator and misconduct.

Comments: Pretty much a bunch of grappling and then McKenna lands a decent left before they fall. That's it from an overhyped game.

Nov 27, 2001	2pd 16:42	NYR	@ BUF	Rob Ray
Comments: This was the second time this game these two fought each other. Both throwing right hands freely. Ray rocks McKenna early and McKenna falls down a couple of moments after. Mckenna gets up and continues to exchange rights with Ray. Mckenna's punches looked like they were hitting Ray's shoulder. Nothing seemed to land too hard by either fighter. McKenna threw one that Ray got under and while McKenna was about to throw again, Ray took him down.

Nov 29, 2001	2pd 05:28	@ NYR	CAR	Chris Dingman
Comments: Right off of a faceoff they decide to go at center ice. McKenna starts off quick and throws a flurry of about 6 landing the majority of them. Dingman throws about 2 or 3, not significantly landing any. Then McKenna loses his balance and they go to the ice. Dingman's nose has a small cut on it, not sure what it was from.

Dec 04, 2001	1pd 17:21	NYR	@ WAS	Stephen Peat
Comments: Peat starts with a right that glances off of McKenna's helmet. McKenna's head is down which leaves him at a disadvantage as Peat buckles him with a right uppercut to the face. McKenna rises and gets another right to the face, and again another right to the face. Peat then delivers with yet another right to the face. A right glances off McKenna's back and Peat follows with another right which doesn't seem to land. McKenna finally get a right punch in which gets nothing but Peat's shoulder. McKenna misses and so does Peat. McKenna misses two more rights. Peat goes to the left and glances one off of McKenna's helmet. McKenna misses a haymaker and down they go.

Dec 08, 2001	2pd 14:03	NYR	@ TOR	Wade Belak
Comments: Drop the gloves at center ice behind the play. Mostly wrestling in this one. Belak threw about 10 shots, 1 shot landed solid to McKenna's side. McKenna threw about 5 or 6 before Belak got the takedown.

Dec 17, 2001	3pd 03:12	@ NYR	FLA	Joey Tetarenko
Comments: McKenna gives Tetarenko a shove along the boards and Tetarenko just drops them, grabs the big guy and throws a punch, a right to the head that grazes and pushes McKenna a little as he wasn't ready for it. McKenna drops just one glove, his right, and throws and overhand that misses. McKenna then drops the left glove, grabs Tetarenko as he's pushing towards him, and throws another right that lands to the back of Tetarenko's head. McKenna then hesitates just a second and throws another overhand right that lands solid to Tetarenko's head/neck area. Tetarenko's pushed and turned slightly, McKenna throws another overhand right that lands to the back of Tetarenko's head. Tetarenko turns around and hugs. They hug and spin, McKenna tries to throw another punch (a baby uppercut) that does nothing, and then they fall (or Tetarenko pushed him down).

Jan 09, 2002	1pd 08:41	@ NYR	LOS	Kip Brennan
Comments: They get it started off the face off. McKenna starts with a right that Brennan is able to duck away from. Some grabbing and McKenna is able to push Brennan's helmet off. In tight. McKenna misses with a weak left but connects with a second left to the jaw. Brennan returns a right that's no where then connects to the back of McKenna's helmet with a second right. A third right may have connected to Steve's ear but from the angle it's hard to tell. Along the boards now. McKenna straightens up and fires a right which Brennan evades. Brennan answers with a right which bounces off McKenna's back and into his helmet. McKenna is out of position and spins wildly with a right which misses or just grazes Brennan with no damage done. This sends both guys toppling to the ice. Here come the linesmen, and it is over.

Comments: They square off and McKenna is holding Fedoruk off with his reach. McKenna throws two shots that might land on top of Fedoruk's helmet. Fedoruk basically wraps his arms around McKenna and they fall to the ice.

Jan 14, 2002	1pd 13:20	@ NYR	CBJ	Jody Shelley
Comments: It's obvious these two are gonna go on the face off. The puck is dropped and off go the gloves. McKenna gets the jump with a right that misses. Both guys grab on with their left and keep the right free. McKenna pulls Shelley in with his left and fires a right over his helmet. Shelley returns a nothing right. Another McKenna right misses and throws Jody off balance. This is followed by another McKenna right which crunches solidly into Shelley's helmet. Shelley answers with a right that misses as McKenna is trying to get that helmet off. Bad for the knuckles! Off comes the helmet. Shelley is bent over and gets a heavy duty right to the back of the noggin. As Shelley misses a weak right he receives a viscious right to the jaw! Punches like that have dropped people before. Shelley gets off another right immediately but it is way off. The next one isn't and crashes into McKenna's helmet. Both guys are locked out now. McKenna lets go with another right and lands it solidly to the back of Shelley's head. Steve has a bloodied knuckle. Shelley throws a wild right that is just short. Both guys are bent way out of position now and tumble to the ice. Here come the linesmen and it is over. Good fight.

Jan 22, 2002	1pd 10:17	NYR	@ NYI	Eric Cairns
Comments: McKenna is on the defensive from the beginning as he seems to be waiting for a stick to get out from in between them. Cairns gets a few in and as soon as McKenna starts throwing he loses his balance. McKenna falls but gets up quickly while eating 1 or 2 and then a big exchange of haymakers seems to surprise Eric (nothing big landed though). A couple of more exchanged and McKenna falls for the second time ending the fight.

Feb 26, 2002	1pd 05:29	@ NYR	NJD	Jim McKenzie
Comments: Fights starts behind the play. Jimmy Mac lands a straight right that seems to stun McKenna, who is struggling with his gloves and buries his face in McKenzie's shoulder. McKenzie lands some rabbit punches to the back of the head, as McKenna won't open up due to McKenzie's right being loose and cocked. McKenna goes for a headlock and pulls McKenzie down with him.

Apr 06, 2002	1pd 13:20	NYR	@ BOS	P.J. Stock
Comments: Stock, trying to get his team going picks a fight with Mckenna. Stock immediately gets inclose to take away McKenna's reach advantage. Both fighters trade short misses, then McKenna gets Stock at arms length. McKenna misses a couple of bombs, although one might have hit. PJ gets in close again. Stock gets McKenna sort of turned around and gets in a flurry of short lefts, not doing much. PJ ducks under a couple more McKenna punches and throws a few of his own, more nothing. McKenna lost his balance and went down.
