Oct 07, 2001	2pd 17:56	@ NYR	BUF	Eric Boulton
Comments: Boulton and McCarthy line up against each other. About ten seconds later they drop the gloves. Boulton grabs McCathy with his left and swings with his right shortly after while McCathy swings his left. It's easy to tell both jerseys are a little loose. Boulton grazed McCarthy with his big shot while McCarthy just missed with his. Boulton then pulled in and kept the punches in short range while McCarthy was trying to open up. After that, McCarthy started to pull away a bit outpunching and outlanding Boulton. McCarthy landed one solid punch not in close that did seem to slow down Boulton. The linesmen jumped in when Boulton started to look like he was just going to hold on and not throw anymore.

Comments: Three seconds into the game the gloves drop. Slow start with lots of grappling and Hordichuk gets loose and throws some big rights that land. McCarthy gets loose and they go shot for shot for about 10 seconds until McCarthy decks him. Both fighters bloody in a great punchup.

Nov 27, 2001	2pd 04:27	NYR	@ BUF	Eric Boulton
Comments: McCarthy challenges Boulton in the neutral zone. Boulton agrees and the square-off begins. Boulton starts off swinging four or fve good rights, maybe three landed. Solid shots. McCarthy returns fire with more rights and Boulton eats them and fires back. McCarthy has his left in Boulton's chest and lets go for a nasty punch. Not only did Boulton not fall, he came back with two sweet rights which both seem to have landed. The first was real hard which pushed McCarthy back. They grapple and McCarthy starts raining the short rights. He had Boulton bent over and was throwing at will, but not much damage. Then the linesmen get in there. Good show.

Dec 12, 2001	2pd 08:19	@ NYR	NAS	Stu Grimson
Comments: McCarthy gets knocked into Mike Dunham and Grimson goes after him. McCarthy sees him coming and gets the gloves up. Grimson is knocked off balance and goes down. McCarthy drops his gloves and lets Grimson get back up. Good showing of the code. Grim gets up, drops the gloves and grabs on. Both are in close along the boards. Grimson is trying to back up, but Mac is pulling him in. Grimson has his game face on! Tugging. Mac explodes a short uppercut that catches Grimson on the left side of the face. Another right jab blast jars Grimson's head sideways. Stu may be stunned and goes in tight. Mac tosses a right that may land to the side of the head, but not much damage is apparent. Another McCarthy right catches the top front part of Grimson's helmet and knocks his head back a bit which sends both guys spinning and McCarthy lands a big right to the Reaper's head. McCarthy lands another short right and throws another which hits Grimson's back. Still another quick right may have landed (hard to tell because of camera angle). Sandy's trying to get the helmet off and does. In close again. Along the boards. Mac lands a right to the chest. Grimson fires a mean right over McCarthy's head. Grimson is loose now. McCarthy let a left loose and grazes Grimsons nose. The Repear then fires back with a right that bounces off McCarthy's helmet. Grimson gets off balance and McCarthy fires another left that catches air. Grimson is down to a knee along the boards. The linesmen come in. Other Penalties: Grimson received a charging; McCarthy a goalie interference.

Dec 21, 2001	1pd 01:17	@ NYR	NYI	Eric Cairns
Comments: A little after a minute into the game, Mats Lindgren scores. The ensuing faceoff has McCarthy and Cairns both playing their first shift of the game. The puck drops and McCarthy heads straight for Cairns. Cairns gives him a nudge, saying "I do", and the two drop the gloves. Squaring off, they do a moderate 360, Cairns grabs ahold of McCarthy with his left and starts tossing rights. Aiming for the temple, Cairns lands the first three getting face and helmet. A jersey pull and a short right lands. Next right is a half punch that ends in Cairns swiping off McCarthy's helmet. Cairns then shakes off his elbow pad and throws a couple of more rights that land, but a little weaker then the first few. McCarthy is then able to grab one of Cairns' arms, and Cairns has to have both hands holding on to McCarthy for balance. He's slightly hunched over, and McCarthy throws a big right uppercut that misses. A stright right by McCarthy then catches Cairns' face. Cairns has let go with his right hand now and they're trying to swing for position. Cairns then throws an off-balance right that misses. He gets McCarthy's jersey over his head for a moment and throws a quick uppercut, hook, each just grazing McCarthy's head. McCarthy grabs Cairns' arm and pops his head out of his jersey. Cairns then throws another right which goes over McCarthy's head. McCarthy then responds with two stright rights that Cairns dodges. A big right hook by Sandy Mac then flies over the ducking Cairns. Cairns looks like he's about to swing but is losing his balance and takes down McCarthy.

Jan 12, 2002	2pd 06:36	NYR	@ PHI	Donald Brashear
Comments: Off of the faceoff, these two drop the gloves immediately and square off. Brash grabs McCarthy and starts throwing a bunch of lefts, connecting with quite a few. Lots of grappling and Brash gets McCarthy's helmet off and throws some over the top left. Some back and forth inside punches now, hard to tell what's connecting, but each are landing at least a couple, while spinning and grabbing. Some more grappling and McCarthy now gets Brashear's helmet off. McCarthy throws a few weak rights. Brashear then throws some more lefts, with a couple connecting. Some up top, some uppercuts. Some more hugging while McCarthy whacks Brash a couple of times on the head with his hand which looks covered by his elbow pad. Linesmen then come in. Long fight, lasting about 1:20.
Voted winner: Donald Brashear (90.6%) - Voted rating: 5.8

Jan 12, 2002	3pd 17:21	NYR	@ PHI	Todd Fedoruk
Comments: McCarthy goes after Fedoruk for hitting Leetch. By the time the camera comes in they are hugging each other with Fedoruk pushing Sandy against the boards and for some reason McCarthy still has his stick stuck between the both of them. They wrestle a little while more and Fedoruk gets his left free and lands two short lefts to the head while they are both bent over leaning into each other. Fedoruk tries to rip McCarthy's helmet off with his left hand (they are both bent over at the boards still) and McCarthy ducks down and pushes Fedoruk over. He has the right cocked and was about to throw a right down at the Fridge when the refs came diving in to break it up.

Jan 16, 2002	2pd 13:30	NYR	@ CBJ	Jody Shelley
Comments: This is Shelley's sixth fight in four games. Off the faceoff, looong square off as both guys are cocked and loaded. They're circling. Sandy feints in then out. More stalking. War and Peace VOL 2 has been inked during the square off... Sandy is getting antsy and finally dives in. Hugging in close. Pulling, tugging. McCarthy appears to land a short right to Shelley's helmet. Shelley thinks about a right but can't get it going. Repeat last sentence. And again; he's locked out. Mac comes up short with a right. Shelley fires two rights missing on the first but the second slams heavily into McCarthy's helmet. A McCarthy right at the same time just misses. McCarthy lands a right to Shelley's jaw! Shelley is stunned and drifting out of position. Another McCarthy right lands to Jody's back. Sandy smells blood and fires off three left almost-uppercuts. Hard to tell about the first due to camera angle but the second one is on target and the third misses. Shelley's in trouble. A Mac right has nothing on it. They clinch. McCarthy gets off three successive short right all to Shelley's head. Jody is all tied up and eats another McCarthy right. Sandy continues to hit and miss short rights. Shelley's right is paralyzed. Sandy lands a forearm to the head. A McCarthy right lands to the face, another misses, he misses with an uppercut and a jab. Shelley gets off a right that misses. Sandy brushes one across Shelley's nose. Both men land rights in stereo then miss at the same time. McCarthy rocks him with a straight right to the face! They're both latched on and locked out at arms length now. Here come the linesmen. It's all over. Jody is slightly bloodied.

Jan 30, 2002	2pd 08:54	@ NYR	NYI	Brad Isbister
Comments: Michael Peca takes a rough check, scrum ensues. McCarthy and Isbister start up. It's all McCarthy here. He goes on for quite a bit while shaking Isbister about. While the linesmen are breaking it up, it appears Isbister won't let go. McCarthy then throws a big punch over the linesmen sending Isbister to a knee. As McCarthy is being escorted off the ice, Eric Cairns is being restrained on the Isles bench while screaming (reciting Sonnets I'm sure). Other Penalties: Tomas Kloucek received a roughing and charging; Mariusz Czerkawski an unsportsmanlike conduct; McCarthy a game misconduct.

Mar 22, 2002	2pd 10:37	@ NYR	ATL	Chris Tamer
Comments: Starts behind the Thrashers' net. Tamer lands a right to start, and throws a bunch hitting nothing but shoulder pad. They grapple. A helluva lotta wrestling and jersey pulling before Sandy lands a short right jab. Yet more wrestling, until Sandy gets the right free and lands a few with one landing pretty good. More grappling before the zebras come in. Blah.

Apr 01, 2002	3pd 10:09	NYR	@ TAM	Andre Roy
Comments: Andre Roy and Malakhov were about to go when McCarthy came in and started on Roy. Got the jump and landed some decent shots. The rest of the fight was hugging and noogie-ing, but Roy was cut above the left eye. Roy was supremely pissed off and tried to get at McCarthy in the penalty box. He started to slam the glass and everything. He left the box and had to be held back. As he was leaving, he started yapping at the Ranger bench. Barnaby and McKenna were both laughing at him. Other Penalties: Roy received a roughing and double game misconduct; Vladimir Malakhov received a roughing; McCarthy received a misconduct.
