Oct 24, 2003	2pd 00:14	@ PIT	NJD	Michael Rupp
Comments: After a lackluster first period, Focht tries to wake the Pens up by goading Rupp into a fight. Focht grabbed Rupp's stick as he skated away making it clear what he wanted to do. They drop em and squareoff. While skating Rupp suprises Focht with a left to the throat as he skates backwards. They both have the jerseys with their lefts. Rupp has his right cocked wide and awkardly. Rupp, unaware of were he is, slams backward into the boards as they both miss with rights. Rupp, with his head down, throws a blind right into Focht's neck. Focht apears to land a decent uppercut on Rupp, snapping his head and bringing him upright, then Rupp misses a ducking Focht. Focht throws five weak uppercuts into Rupp's armpit while Rupp misses two more overhand rights. They twirl, Rupp again has his right cocked way behind his back, and Focht throws another weak uppercut while Rupp jersey-jabs him with his left. Focht does likewise, pushing Rupp's face with his left four times. Rupp finally throws an overhand right looking to connect on Focht's temple, and as Focht throws a right that misses, Rupp lands an off-balance, but head-snapping right to Focht's jaw. Rupp's completely off-balance and is hunched over facing away from Focht now who just pushes him down to the ice.
Voted winner: Michael Rupp (42.1%) - Voted rating: 4.6

Nov 04, 2003	3pd 05:14	PIT	@ TOR	Nathan Perrott
Comments: Perrott runs Melichar, McKenna whacks Fitzgerald, and a scrum breaks out. Focht and Perrott are tied up with Focht on his knees. Perrott wants to fight, so Focht stands up. Perrott come up short with a haymaker right as they twirl. Focht has Perrott in a headlock, Perrott throws a short left that grazes Focht, then noogies Focht with three rights to the back of the head. Perrott throws a left that misses, then misses with a big right, then lands a left on the top of Focht's head. Focht rights himself and they both throw lefts that seem to miss. Focht throws two more over the ducking Perrott, then camera goes to McKenna-Belak. Other Penalties: Tom Fitzgerald received a slashing.

Nov 12, 2003	2pd 17:46	PIT	@ NYR	Dan LaCouture
Comments: Focht has been banging bodies most of the period and Lacouture goes in front of net to meet him. They decide to go and Focht gets a decent right in. Lacouture a left and then Focht falls down with Lacouture "cleaning the ice with him", but he lets him back up to resume fight. Lacouture then gets a couple of lefts in, Focht answers with one or two and they move all over ice from fighting. Pretty decent bout.

Feb 03, 2004	1pd 10:52	@ PIT	MON	Sheldon Souray
Comments: Not much of a fight because the two linesmen wouldn't get out of the way. Souray might have landed a punch, but that's a maybe, and all there was. Souray lost his equipment, and was kicked out of the game. Other Penalties: Brooks Orpik received an interference; Souray a cross checking and game misconduct.

Feb 22, 2004	1pd 19:48	@ PIT	OTT	Chris Neil
Comments: The Pens are down 3-1 and Focht is looking to spark the team. When the camera gets there they're in-close and Neil tries two lefts that don't have much on them, one might have landed. Focht returns with a right to Neil's helmet, They start to spin and Neil tries a right that hits Focht's shoulder. They spin a little more and Neil tries another right that hit's the back of Focht's head. Focht returns with a haymaker from way out in right field that barely grazed Neil's head. The momentum of the punch takes Focht to the ice. Neil tries a right when Focht was on his way down to the ice that hit Focht's back and Focht returns with a short right while he's on the ice and linesmen get between them.

Mar 11, 2004	1pd 01:41	PIT	@ TOR	Wade Belak
Comments: Belak puts Buchberger into the Pens' bench and Buchy drops to the ice in pain. Focht and Belak are throwing down when the camera goes off of Buchy. Belak from looks to graze a couple of rights on Focht while Focht throws a few uppercuts. They both miss uppercuts in front of the Leafs' bench. Belak comes up short with a right as they twirl. Belak rings a right off of Focht's helmet, then grazes another off the spinning and ducking Focht's shoulder. Focht then loses his balance and goes down. He jumps back up and Belak grabs a hold of his jersey and hits him with an uppercut and Focht goes back to his knees. He gets back up with a bare back and tries to go back at Belak, but the linesmen have both men under control. Other Penalties: Belak received a charging; Focht an instigator and misconduct.

Comments: Focht slams Stroshein with a hit, Stroshein goes after Focht. They drop them and go. From the start Stroshein can't get his left free and Focht is throwing some weak lefts and lands a couple. Stroshein then chucks a right and they fall off-balance. Stroshein gets up while Focht is on his knees and he doesn't throw any at Focht.
