Blues, Jackets Clash Again

The bad blood between the Blues and Jackets continues to boil over. Remember, the history between the two is pretty recent.

On Saturday, the two teams combined for three first period scraps. Brad Winchester and Derek Dorsett dropped the gloves ten seconds into the game. They were followed by Jared Boll and B.J. Crombeen minutes later.

Just prior to Boll scoring his fifth goal of the season, Mark Methot and Tyson Strachan danced as well.

Elsewhere, Tom Kostopoulos scored a major upset, dropping Kevin Bieksa with the first right hand he threw in the bout. It was Kostopoulos' best punch since he floored Steve Ott back in October 2006, the last fight hockeyfights.com voters have him winning.

Orr placed on IR

Following his fight with George Parros the other night, Colton Orr has been placed on injured reserve:

The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Jay Rosehill will be inserted into the lineup to take over Orr’s pugilistic duties while the forward is sidelined.

“Colton will be put on IR,” coach Wilson said after the skate. “He’ll undergo some further tests to clear up whatever issues he, or we, have. In the meantime, Rosie will be here to handle his duties.”

Orr injured himself after having his face slammed into the ice during a fight with Anaheim Ducks tough guy George Parros on Thursday night. While the Leafs won the game 5-2, Orr obviously came out on the wrong end of the fight and concussion worries are likely at the root of his being placed on the IR.
