Oct 10, 2002 2pd 17:59 Eric Cairns @BUF Eric Boulton
Good square off during a scrum, Cairns attempts a few, but can't reach. With the same hand that's holding Boulton's jersey, Cairns throws a few rabbit punches. Then Boulton unloads with a right, didn't think it connect, and slips off balance. Boulton didn't look like he made a very good attempt to get up. Boulton's bleeding again, probably reopened the cut from before. Other Penalties: Alexei Yashin received a roughing; Jay McKee a double roughing.

There was a scuffle among players at the boards and away from that, Lessard and Cairns have a go. Cairns knocked him down with a right and waited for him to get up. Then both start landing haymakers at will. Cairns loses his balance, regains himself and continues trading punches with Lessard until they tire and the linesmen come in.

Oct 24, 2002 2pd 03:42 Eric Cairns FLA Peter Worrell
Good heavyweight battle here. A hit by Worrell, an invite by Cairns and they shed the gloves and pads. Good, fair squareoff. They trade shots and Worrell's look like they might be a little better. Cairns slips, almost falls, regains his balance and they start throwing again. Now Cairns is throwing the good shots. There's open swinging and both guys are landing some good ones, although the haymakers all seem to miss (barely). Worrell gets a couple of good ones at the end (almost landed a great uppercut). Cairns slips again, goes to a knee and it's over. Good, open, even fight between two huge players.

Roenick gets his gloves off and starts to fire. He throws 4 or 5 and gets Hamrlik's jersey up, which was not tied down. They spin around and fall to the ice. Other Penalties: Hamrlik received a game misconduct.

Nov 04, 2002 1pd 06:27 Eric Cairns CAL Craig Berube
Early in the first period these two decide to give it a go behind the play. Nice fair square off they, lunge in and grab a hold of each other. Cairns lands a couple of grazers, then Berube lands a clean, straight-right to the chin of Cairns that didn't effect him at all. Cairns then uses his reach and "jerseys him" with the left. Berube's trying, but coming up short. The jersey comes over Berube's head and Cairns is ready to take over, throwing a couple of grazing rights with Berube twisted and bent over, but then the linesman comes in and its over. Cairns looks pissed off.

Square off at Islanders blue-line. You can hear the anticipation in the crowd. The fight doesn't live up to expectations though. Cairns comes in first, and Laraque gets the helmet off and lands 3 lefts to the back and side of Cairns' head. Cairns goes to the ice off balance with Laraque on top.

Along the boards they grab hold. Actually, that's about all you need to know, as this one never got going. Wiemer got in some quick shots, one left and a couple of rights (including some body shots). Nothing seemed to do any damage and it was mainly grappling the whole time.

Cairns looking for something, bumps a Bolt. Dingman is on the ice and goes right after Cairns. They grapple for position and Cairns is controlling the fight and throwing the only real punches. Dingman tries to answer, but comes up short. Cairns then lands a nice right hand that makes Dingman go to a knee. Other Penalties: Cairns received an unsportsmanlike conduct.

Nov 21, 2002 3pd 17:15 Garth Snow @TAM Sheldon Keefe
Keefe is in the crease, Snow makes a save a little out of the crease. A push by Roman Hamrlik and Keefe crosschecks Hamrlik in return. Snow doesn't like what he sees and goes after Keefe. Everyone comes rushing in, but with the crew out there, the most likely guy to go is still Snow. Snow can't get the blocker off right away, so he just starts chucking rights with it on, looking like he's landing most. Linesmen are trying to break it up, but for a bit, Snow can easily punch over him. Evgeny Konstantinov makes his way down the ice, but doesn't get involved. Other Penalties: Roman Hamrlik received a roughing; Evgeny Konstantinov a leaving the crease penalty; Keefe a double roughing; Snow an attempt to injure match penalty. Sheldon Keefe did not receive a fighting major.

Nov 29, 2002 1pd 06:52 Eric Cairns CBJ Jody Shelley
Cairns comes out in the Isles zone, where Shelley is lined up and moves to Shelley's wing. You can see/sense this a mile away. They drop the gloves have a nice square-off, Jody Shelley moves in first, grabs Cairns with the left and then Cairns grabs on. They now have their right hands cocked back, but start off with the jersey-lefts. Cairns then starts to throw right hands and Shelley answers back, but Cairns lands a clean shot to Shelley's face. They offer 1-2 more rights, Shelley stops punching, is bent over, the refs move in and you can see that Jody Shelley is pissed off. He is bloodied and goes straight to the lockerroom for repairs.

Webb drills Hoglund with a clean hit after Hoglund was admiring a dump in. Hoglund goes down and Domi goes to challenge Webb. In comes Godard and they throw down. Domi lands a right when they first drop them, then they tie up and Domi tries to get him spinning. He comes underneath and lands a good uppercut, then Godard pulls him in and lands two decent shots to Domi. Domi gets off one more uppercut that grazes Godard, and Godard possibly landed one or two more in close, with Domi also getting one more off. Then the linesman come in.

Dec 06, 2002 3pd 06:58 Dave Scatchard TOR Shayne Corson
This one starts right off the draw as they shed the leather. There was a looong squareoff, too bad the fight didn't live up to the hype. Scatch starts off by firing 3-4 rights, nothing solidly connecting, but causes Corson to lose his balance. As Shayne gets up he tosses about 5 rights of his own, maybe one connecting. They then begin to grapple for position and Corson gets Scatch turned around. Corson throws a few more, kinda just forcing Scatchard to the ice, not a knockdown or anything near it.

Godard throws a check in the Panther's corner. Charging call. Mediocre delayed penalty going on. Panthers bring the puck up the ice. Webb throws a check too. No-no in this game. Another penalty. Isles touch the puck, whistle blown, players start coming together. Andreas Lilja grabs onto Eric Godard and Godard sheds the gloves. A few punches from Godard connect ok, but Lilja is not shaken and responds with a few of his own. Godard is trying to throw and falls to a knee. He gets up and cracks Lilja with a right sending him towards the ice. Lilja gets up promptly, but the linesmen have already rushed in. Other Penalties: Steve Webb received an interference; Godard a charging.

They're grappling and each throwing a couple. Godard almost slips, regains his balance and throws a couple of more, connecting with them.

Late in the third Stock and Cairns are poking at each other in front of Isles' net, Brown comes in and off come the gloves. They lock out each other's lefts and start with rights. Cairns lands a couple early and Brown hangs in there, and throws a couple decent uppercuts. Cairns then takes over and starts to land a couple of heavier punches. Cairns lands the last couple of rights and Brown is now bent over. Linesmen come in to end it. Brown leaves the ice dripping a little blood.

Right after the Cairns-Brash fight, they line up against each other. The puck drops, and do the gloves on these two. Pretty open fight. At first Godard tried to get Fedoruk's helmet off, but after some trouble, just started swinging. Godard easily landed more punches in this slug-out, and the better ones. Fedoruk looked pretty beaten up with a cut on his eye. Still a good show.

Feb 08, 2003 3pd 17:46 Arron Asham BUF Rhett Warrener
Asham starts off throwing those short jersey-grabbing-hand lefts, more annoying than doing any damage. They each throw a couple of bigger punches, looks like Asham lands a decent one. Rhett then takes over and starts throwing with good follow through. Asham got in one more decent right when Rhett missed on one of his rights, and from there it was all Rhett. Asham was ducking to the side as though he just wanted to stop. Nothing Warrener threw at Arron was devasting, but he got in a bunch of rights to the side of the head.

Asham gets Hartnell's jersey over his head and throws an uppercut before the refs rush in. Couldn't tell if the uppercut landed. Entertaining fight, but not a lot landed.

Camera's late, they're in the corner (to Steve Shield's left). Brown's got Wiemer tied up and getting in his shots. Takes Wiemer a bit and he gets a punch off, then they're tangled, Wiemer's jersey comes up and goes down while he's starting to throw his own, landing them. Wiemer then gets loose and chucks a couple of more putting Brown down. Brown early, Wiemer late. Brown's hunched over going to the box (probably exhausted).

A few punches that don't connect, then Barnaby decides to try to throw a few. When he opens up, Asham does the same and starts to hit him pretty good. They exchange with Asham definitely doing better, but nothing devestating. They go down with Asham on top.

Marshall's was pretty busy early in this one. First he knocked Kenny Jonsson out with a big hit and later took two minutes for dropping them with Cairns, who wouldn't oblige. Now Webb wants payback for the hit on Jonsson and hooks Marshall as they skate behind the play. The mitts come off and they trade wild bombs for about 10 or 15 seconds. Marshall got an early start landing a couple of big rights. Webb fires some lefty haymakers, landing about two or three out of five. Now Webb is off-balance from throwing bombs. Marshall takes advantage and unleashes a few lefts of his own. Webb falls and Marshall quickly after. Webb skates away with a little blood on his face.

Apr 05, 2003 1pd 02:06 Eric Godard ATL Francis Lessard
The two drop their gloves and squareoff. Lessard is ducking real low and as the two come in to each other he has an upward motion that wobbles Godard a bit. Godard quickly regains his balance and these two open up and start chucking them hard! Godard with the rights, Lessard with the lefts. Nice and even at this point. They spin a bit, still throwing and this one's already a good one. Lessard now starts getting in a few unanswered shots and it's starting to look like that could be it when Godard returns fire with some really powerful shots - one makes Lessard's knees half-buckle, but he didn't go down on that one or the next shot which was almost as hard. It's looking like this could be the end and the linesmen come in fast. Nice showing by both guys, great fight.
