Comments: With the Rangers down 2-0 and showing very little life, Purinton tries to spark his team. Starts off very spirited, with each throwing rights. Shelley lands a good right to Purinton's cheek. Shelley seems to be in control with a flurry of punches, but Purinton comes back to make it respectable, landing a few himself. Shelley got the takedown to end the fight.

Dec 13, 2003	3pd 06:41	NYR	@ TOR	Wade Belak
Comments: They meet up after a check and lock up ready to go. They are in-close with each having the other's right hand tied up and throwing lefts. Both guys landing some shots while spinning. Still locked out with lefts, Belak decides to throw his jersey hand; letting go with his right hand and hits Puriton with two decent right hands and Puriton goes down.

Jan 19, 2004	1pd 14:42	NYR	@ BOS	Doug Doull
Comments: Doull and Purinton were talking before the drop of the puck. Then as the ref drops it Purinton just drops the mits and pretty much dives on Doull, throwing a punch that caught him. It looks like the linesmen might be able to stop it, but they both regain their footing and start swinging. Each of them land a few punches, with Doull maybe getting the better. Doull then gets the jersey up and over and measures out some rights for Purinton. They tangle up again and the fight is broken up.
Voted winner: Doug Doull (62.5%) - Voted rating: 5.8

Feb 02, 2004	2pd 09:46	@ NYR	VAN	Brad May
Comments: May takes a jab at Dunham and Purinton doesn't like it. He goes over with his gloves off, and they break away from a scrum. They are in-close and Purinton lands two light rights as May gets a right to Purinton's shoulder. May switches to his left and throws five hard lefts with two or three landing solid. Purinton's jersey is over his head as May quickly switches to his right and lands two rights. May switches back to his left and feeds Purinton two or three. May is off-balance and as he is going down Purinton gets loose and gets in a couple of rights.
Voted winner: Brad May (100.0%) - Voted rating: 6.6

Feb 19, 2004	3pd 16:06	@ NYR	NYI	Eric Cairns
Comments: Purinton and Cairns are in the crease. Cairns is turned and Purinton drops the gloves and cracks Cairns with a big punch just as Cairns is getting his gloves off. Purinton keeps punching as Papineau jumps in, then Snow, then everyone. Cairns takes a moment, regains composure, the crowd gets off of him and he gets up and goes after Purinton while both are being held by the linesmen. Cairns is trying to get at Purinton while Purinton is covering up. Cairns gets some punches in, but nothing much is getting through. While Papineau was really third man in, Snow's tossed for being "third" man in for some reason. Other Penalties: Purinton received an instigator, misconduct and game misconduct; Garth Snow a game misconduct.

Feb 21, 2004	1pd 16:12	@ NYR	NJD	Turner Stevenson
Comments: The Rangers are in the offensive zone and Brodeur makes a couple of great saves. The puck goes into the corner and these two are already going at it. They're hugging, in-tight, each throwing some left noogies, possibly three each, then they grapple to the ice.
Voted winner: Draw (86.4%) - Voted rating: 2.0

Comments: It all starts with Godard and Barnaby. Then Cairns and Purinton come in and suddenly Cairns gets elbowed by Purinton and Purinton falls down. Cairns then throws a handful of punches at the turtling Purinton. Godard starts shoving everyone and Simon grabs him. Godard with rights, Simon with lefts, some good punches back and forth. Simon falls down and Godard falls on top. Other Penalties: Cairns received an instigator, misconduct and game misconduct. Dale Purinton did not receive a fighting major.
Voted winner: Eric Cairns (96.3%) - Voted rating: 3.7
