The two are waiting for the puck to be dropped and as soon as the puck drops, so do the gloves - but only of McKenzie. Domi immediately goes to the ice and turtles! McKenzie hits Domi 3 or 4 times while Domi is turtling on the ice. McKenzie is given 27 PIMs. Domi gets up and has some words for the Devils bench. Other Penalties: McKenzie received an instigator, misconduct and game misconduct. Tie Domi did not receive a fighting major.

Nov 15, 2001	2pd 05:19	NJD	@ BOS	Andrei Nazarov
Not a typical Nazarov fight. Punches were thrown. Nazarov actually filled his role. Down 3-1 looking for some spark he finds McKenzie. They skate close together for a bit, gloves drop, Nazarov gets in a quick shot. A quick hold and duck, and then McKenzie gets his right hand free, throwing a bunch, landing quite a few, although Nazarov had the obvious reach advantage as some of the punches look like they hit Nazarov's neck. Nazarov counters with a couple of his own, solid to McKenzie's head. Then the two just decide to stand up and end the fight. BTW - Boston came back and won in overtime...hmm…

Mac starts off with a right that appears to land on Shelley's face. Both guys throw rights and Mac definitely lands a bomb to the face while Shelley comes up a bit short. Shelley follows with a right that doesn't do much while Mac attempts an uppercut that ends up in Shelley's armpit. A right from Shelley catches the back of McKenzie and both guys fire rights that hit nothing. Jostling for position now. Shelley gets loose with another right that means nothing. More hugging. Mac comes up and bounces a right off the back off Shelley's helmet and again off the right side of his helmet. Another right lands on the front of Shelley's helmet and may have got some face. Shelley's game, but he just can't get loose. In close - Both throw rights: Shelley comes up short again, Mac lands to the chest. Shelley is still tied up. Mac's not, and he lands another right to the side of the helmet. Again Shelley tries, but he's in a spiderweb. Mac lands an uppercut to the torso. Shelley finally gets a right loose but only hits shoulder. He follows with a nothing right uppercut. So does Mac. Mac comes under again and just misses Shelley's chin then he comes way over the top and misses. Shelley takes this opportunity and lands his best shot yet, a right to the side of Jim's head. Getting tired it looks like. Shelley's bent over. In come the linesmen. Shelley's a bit bloody.

Off the faceoff, the two heavyweights drop the gloves. McKenzie gets the jump, as he gets off a flurry of 6-7 lefts, all of which either hit Laraque's shoulderpads, or air. McKenzie goes down to a knee, and gets back up. Laraque then gets the helmet off of McKenzie and connects with 4-5 lefts to the back of Jimmy Mac's head. Both guys go down and the linesmen step in.

A lot of hugging and trying to get loose. McKenzie threw most of the time, but nothing major really landed.

On the ensuing faceoff, McKenzie and Norton hooked up behind the net, but both were in too close and no visible blows were exchanged.

Worrell wanted to lock McKenzie out while McKenzie wanted to keep the fight in close. Classic case of each fighter fighting not to lose. Hugs and noogies till the linesmen step in.

McKenzie and Johnson go off the face-off. They get in close and then Jimmy Mac gets his right free. Throws about 5 shots lands a few including one pretty good uppercut. They tie each other up, and McKenzie lands at least one more. Johnson tried throwing some punches but did not land any. You can see Johnson is pissed at himself after the fight.

Jan 30, 2002	2pd 07:17	@ NJD	CHI	Ryan VandenBussche
They go right off the draw after a Holik goal. The first two camera angles could have been better. The first one is your traditional far away shot from high up anytime there is a center ice faceoff. The second one they tried to get an ice level shot but the cameraman must have been getting into the fight because the camera was jumping all around! Anyway, they just start firing at each other right off the draw. All offense no defense. McKenzie really looks like he is nailing Vandy with lefts. Vandy landed some shots but was having trouble reaching Jim. Then, they stop and get in a little closer and get defensive. McKenzie is throwing some straight shots at Vandy, and Vandy is taking some, but takes a Domi style approach as he lowers his head and waits for an opening to throw a bomb. He tries 4 and lands 3, two real good ones. While he is doing that, about half of Jim's shots hit the mark. Then McKenzie lands a real good left, then an uppercut and one more and then he just wraps up Vandy. Maybe he felt he hurt VandenBussche and stopped. I don't know if that was the case because the linesmen were in no rush to break it up and Vandy really did not look hurt. Chico Resch said Mac outlands about 2 to 1. He also gave Vandy his due and said just before the game, Vandy was shadowboxing for about 3 minutes outside the locker room.

Right after the Ray-White fight, off the very next faceoff as soon as the puck is dropped these two go. McKenzie appears to land a decent shot right away that surprised Boulton. Boulton tries to land a right, then Jim throws a few body shots. He then goes upstairs and misses with the momentum taking them down.

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.

Domi went at Mckenzie off the faceoff. Domi slipped and got up quickly. He threw several lefts with most missing or landing on McKenzie's helmet. McKenzie landed a good right. Domi came back and landed two lefts. They then both hugged for the rest of the fight.

Mar 25, 2002	1pd 03:32	@ NJD	FLA	Rocky Thompson
Rocky took at run at McKenzie, but they didn't go right away as NJ had a scoring chance. But then a little later in the shift, Rocky went right over to McKenzie and challenged him and away they went. Camera got there a little late, but when they got there McKenzie sort of had Rocky hunched over and Mac threw a short left or two. Rocky then got in position and they were each throwing lefts, all appearing to come up short. Rocky then appeared to get the right free and landed a decent shot. They then mutually decided that they'd had enough and the linesman came in. Decent fight, but not up to the Rocky normal toe-to-toe style.

Worrell laid a tough hit on McKenzie near the Devils' bench that McKenzie didn't like, so McKenzie followed Worrell to the Panthers bench and said something to him. They then got into a shoving match and away they went. Worrell started off by landing a right, then McKenzie responded with a right. Worrell showed quick hands and snapped off about 5 quick rights to McKenzie's 2 and then wrestled him down.

Mar 27, 2002	1pd 02:50	NJD	@ PIT	Krzysztof Oliwa
First shift, Oliwa wanted this without a doubt. He got McKenzie in the neutral zone and was challenging him. McKenzie declined. The puck went into the Devils end and once again Oliwa sticked Big Mac, who this time dropped his stick and gloves. They tied up and Oliwa let go a few short rights. Big Mac mostly was grappling. Oliwa once again tried to throw a few more, but McKenzie wouldn't open up. McKenzie then tried his right, but Oliwa had a good hold of his jackhammer. Oliwa lost balance and fell down. He got back up and then the linesmen came in.
