Oct 05, 1996	2pd 17:26	Jamie Pushor	@NJD	Randy McKay
Comments: When the camera gets there the gloves are off and they each have a hold of the other with the left hand. They each throw nine or ten wild rights while they're in a slow spin-cycle and it doesn't look like many land. Pushor then switches to the left and lands two punches to McKay's jaw. He tries a third one, it doesn't connect, but Pushor gets McKay's helmet off. They're in-close now and McKay tries a weak right hook, but he gets Pushor's helmet off after the punch. They start to grapple and McKay is trying to push Pushor away and get some separation, but he pushes Pushor off-balance and Pushor drags McKay to the ice with him, and the linesmen come in.
Voted winner: Jamie Pushor (56.3%) - Voted rating: 5.8

Oct 05, 1996	3pd 11:02	Aaron Ward	@NJD	Jason Smith
Comments: They have words and drop the gloves. It starts off toe to toe. Both Ward and Smith throw seven or eight rights. None of the punches seem to do any damage, if they landed. One of Smith's punches knocks Ward's helmet off. After the exchange they grapple for position and Smith wrestles Ward to the ice and the fight is over.
Voted winner: Jason Smith (80.0%) - Voted rating: 6.1

Comments: Lapointe takes a run at Moreau and Moreau takes exception and gives Lapointe a little cross check and issues the challenge. Lapointe sheds the gloves and before Moreau can grab on Lapointe drills Moreau with a right and sends him to the ice. Moreau is bloody afterwords.

Oct 23, 1996	2pd 05:12	Jamie Pushor	DAL	Marc LaBelle
Comments: It starts behind the Wings' net. They talk, drop the gloves and grab on. LaBelle tries a couple of rights that come up short and Pushor answers with a right to LaBelle's chin. LaBelle tries a couple of more rights that come up short. They start to grapple a bit and move around the ice. LaBelle then throws a couple of rights while Pushor tries some lefts, none of the punches appear to land. They start to wrestle a little and LaBelle tries a right that comes up short and Pushor answers with three lefts, the first two connecting to LaBelle's face and the third catching helmet. They start wrestling close to the boards and each throw about three or four punches before the linesmen step in and break them up.

Dec 12, 1996	1pd 01:45	Brendan Shanahan	CHI	Bob Probert
Comments: Probert takes a swing at Osgood and Shanahan comes to Osgood's defense. When the camera gets there they have the gloves off behind the wings' net. Probert is doing all the punching in the beginning as he tries six or seven rights, with nothing major landing. Shanny tries answering back with a right, but Probert ducks under the punch. They move in-close and each exchange four or five rights from in-close. Probert finally gets some separation from Shanahan and throws a couple of rights that hit the side of Shanahan's head. Shanahan tries to answer with a couple of rights of his own, but they come up short. They then throw a couple of simultaneous punches, Probert with the right and Shanahan with the left. Looks like Probert lands both of his rights, while Shany misses both of his. Probert tries a couple of more rights, but they're weak punches and you can tell both players are tired. The linesmen see that and step in and the fight's over. Other Penalties: Probert received a roughing.

Dec 12, 1996	3pd 06:25	Jamie Pushor	CHI	Enrico Ciccone
Comments: Probert and Pushor start pushing and shoving and Probert drops his gloves and throws a right at Pushor, but the linesmen pull Probert away. Ciccone then grabs a hold of Pushor and drops the gloves. Pushor starts off with a right that hits helmet, then switches to the left and tries about three or four, but they all come up short. Ciccone then uses his right arm to keep Pushor away. Ciccone tries two haymakers, but neither lands well. The first hits Pushors left shoulder and Pushor ducks under the second punch. Ciccone is trying to get his right arm out of the sleave. He gets the right arm out and tries three shots, the third is a short one, but lands solidly to Pushor's jaw. Pushor loses his grip of Ciccone and now Ciccone has Pushor's jersey with his right hand and unloads a huge punch that sends Pushor to the ice. While Pushor is down Ciccone punches him one more time to the back of the head before the linesman gets there. Other Penalties: Bob Probert received a roughing, misconduct and game misconduct; Aaron Ward a roughing.
Voted winner: Enrico Ciccone (100.0%) - Voted rating: 6.8

Jan 14, 1997	2pd 14:47	Tim Taylor	LOS	Doug Zmolek
Comments: They collide behind the net and Zmolek must have figured Taylor was a little high with his check because he stalked him from behind and hooked him. When Taylor turns around Zmolek is already waiting for him and gives him a crosscheck. Taylor returns the favor and Zmolek drops his gloves. Zmolek lands one right as Taylor is getting his gloves off. Two more rights land before Taylor lands a weak right hand. Then they go toe-to-toe for a few and Zmolek lands some heavy shots. About four or five rights thrown by Zmolek; one lands cleanly and stuns Taylor, while another knock Taylor's helmet off. Taylor responds with two weak shots of his own. Taylor then calls it a night and hugs on, but Zmolek wrestles him hard to the ice with himself on top. Other Penalties: Zmolek received an instigator and misconduct.

Mar 10, 1997	1pd 09:27	Jamie Pushor	@LOS	Roman Vopat
Comments: After the whistle Pushor pushes Vopat and rips his helmet off. They square up and right away you can tell Pushor was thinking he made a mistake. Vopat lands two solid right hands as Pushor is hunched over as far as can be to avoid the punches. Vopat then pushes him around and lands a total of six punches that put Pushor down. The first punch was the best, but the others landed well enough. Pushor did not throw a punch. Other Penalties: Pushor received a roughing.
