Godard Solves Orr

Jan 29, 2009 2:09 AM John Chandler

Eric Godard‘s struggles against Colton Orr are well-documented. After Wednesday, Godard’s problems are no more. The Penguins’ tough guy once again took on Orr right off of the opening faceoff of the latest meeting between the Rangers and Penguins. After a wild toe-to-toe exchange, Godard sent Orr to his knees with a hard right hand, prompting the linesmen to quickly intervene.

Last night’s only other bout was another heavyweight attraction between Matt Walker and George Parros in Blackhawks-Ducks. If the matchup looks familiar, it’s because it is. The two have fought five times in the last four seasons.

that was a hell of punch landed by Godard. Orr’s head snapped back like a rag doll. Wonder if Colton has a spinal headache today. Its nice to see this rivalry heat up a little more.

Two warriors that play their role as it should be for the most part.

I would have loved to see each of them score a goal too…as long as the Pens win.

I love this rivalry even though Orr got the worst of it. He got caught with a gorgeous punch by Godard. Looking forward to seeing him return the favor.
