Nothing to post from last night as there were no fights, but Cowan-Downey from Tuesday was posted to the videos page.

Ryan Vandenbussche has announced he’s retiring, at least from his playing career.  Good luck to him with whatever he chooses.

David Amber interviewed Matt Barnaby for espn.com.

Q: You have had more than 200 fights in your NHL career. Does any one battle stand out in your mind?

A: I always loved fighting guys like Adam Graves and Mike Keane. When I was young, I was just so excited to be here. They were emotional fights; they were toe-to-toe; and the buildings were jammed. It was great. I also liked fighting the heavyweights, too. I had a running feud with Lyle Odelein through the media, and I fought guys like Tie Domi. I didn’t always win, but it was always exciting to fight the super heavyweights I grew up watching, too.

Yesterday was a big sports birthday.  Muhammad Ali turned 65 and John at KO Corner has a massive round-up of articles, pictures and video.
