Oct 09, 2002	3pd 16:19	Rod Brind'Amour	NYR	Matt Barnaby
Comments: After Rod scores, Kasparitis takes issue with something in front. Out of the scrum comes Barnaby and Brind'Amour. Barnaby throwing the rights, as is Rod. Matt lands 2 good rights, then they each struggle for position. Rob lands one good right. Struggling again and Brind'Amour is holding both wrists. Barnaby gets loose and lands a big right. Brind'Amour has had enough and starts looking for the takedown. Barnaby starts to land good and the refs jump in. Other Penalties: Sylvain Lefebvre and Bates Battaglia each received a roughing; Barnaby an instigator and misconduct.

Oct 15, 2002	1pd 09:12	Darren Langdon	@STL	Reed Low
Comments: Good to see the linesmen let 'em go for so long. Low gets it on early with 8 big rights to Langdon, several of them find the mark, then Low switches to the left and connects on 1 of them flush to the face of Langdon. Low seems to be tiring and as we all know, Langdon is the best second half fighter in all of hockey. He starts to nail Low with some heavy punches, with 1, possibly 2 getting the mark.

Oct 17, 2002	3pd 20:00	Bates Battaglia	WAS	Brendan Witt
Comments: Battaglia and Witt go at it at the end of the game. Battaglia is sick of the excessive crosschecking and drops the gloves with Witt. Witt grabs Battaglia and throws 4 lefts that hit the mark, but with little authority. Battaglia launches a right that gets Witt's cheek firmly. Not a very spirited fight, but never the less a fight by 2 unlikely combatants.

Oct 19, 2002	3pd 17:15	Darren Langdon	NJD	Jim McKenzie
Comments: It starts right after the Stevens-Battaglia fight. At the faceoff both players are talking and they throw off the gloves. Jim throws about six or sevens bombs that look to hit Landgon on the side of the head or helmet. Then Landgon tries to hug McKenzie, but Jim will not have any of that. Landgon tries to come back with some rights and lefts while trying to get loose from McKenzie. They both end up across the ice near the boards. Langdon manages to throw a right that knocks the helmet of McKenzie off. McKenzie then tries to throw some more punches, but both players are tired and the linesmen break it up along the boards.

Comments: They were grappling, then Blouin goes down and Boulerice continued to throw after he went down. Might have landed a couple as the linesmen jumped in.

Nov 07, 2002	2pd 03:53	Jesse Boulerice	BUF	Eric Boulton
Comments: Fair square off near center ice. Boulton starts with a big right that lands. Boulton throws another, misses, and slips. Both guys seem off-balance. Boulton throws some more rights to Boulerice's helmet. Boulerice throws and lands some rights of his own. Boulton gets Boulerice's jersey up and throws some uppercuts that seemed to connect. Spirited battle here, looked like Boulerice was bleeding from the mouth.

Comments: With Carolina down 2-0 Hill tries to spark his club. He levels Fisher with a check, then stands over him and challenges him. They drop the gloves, Fischer gets Hill's shielded helmet off and gets a couple nothing shots in, then Hill drags him to the ice.

Comments: Boulerice looked like he wanted it and Neil accepts. A couple nothing shots by each and they fall, however there is only one linesman over there and he lets em get up. The first punch that is thrown is a big right cross by Boulerice that connects and down goes Neil.

Dec 11, 2002	3pd 12:58	Jesse Boulerice	@EDM	Scott Ferguson
Comments: They come together at the Canes blueline and immediately get to grappling. Boulerice is going for the helmet, while Ferguson is jockeying for position. Boulerice throws a couple of rights, at the same time Ferguson lets loose with some lefts. More grappling. Ferguson connects with a nice right hand. Boulerice tries to switch to southpaw, but unsuccessful. Boulerice then misses a wild right hand. Ferguson connects with a decent left hand that had Boulerice off-balance. They separate very briefly and come together again. Ferguson seems to be out of gas. Boulerice throws some lefts while Ferguson is trying to get out of the way. He throws some weak lefts. Boulerice throws 3-4 more rights. They are both tired at this point, and the linesmen step in.

Dec 31, 2002	1pd 02:18	Jesse Boulerice	NYR	Gordie Dwyer
Comments: After a series of big hits early in the first period, a stoppage brings pushing and shoving. Dwyer breaks free from the ref and does an end-around to get to Boulerice. Dwyer drops the gloves and begins throwing rights and grabs Boulerice who's caught somewhat off-guard. To his credit Boulerice drops his gloves and begins to respond with rights, and gets Dwyer's helmet off. Lots of slipping and sliding, wild punches, and wrestling. Each player lands a couple of punches without any damage. Entertaining, wild scrap.Other Penalties: Joel Bouchard received an obstruction hooking; Dwyer an instigator and misconduct.

Comments: Boulerice levels Aubin. Just then the Avs are changing the defensemen so Smith comes on and goes right for Boulerice. They drop em and tie up. Smith throws a right that hits shoulder, Boulerice throws a right cross that looked to land on the chin. Smith then lands a hard right. Boulerice throws a left that hits the back of the helmet, which he then rips off. Boulerice throws a wild right which throws both guys off balance, so Smith falls and gets up and pushes Boulerice down and throws one to the back of the helmet.

Jan 17, 2003	2pd 11:27	Jesse Boulerice	NJD	Jim McKenzie
Comments: McKenzie lands 2 right in the beginning of the fight, then proceeds to fire 7 more that hit shoulder pad, then presses Boulerice against the boards and throws 1 or 2. Then Boulerice gets Jim with 2 good shots and that’s when Jim stops throwing and begins to hug while Boulerice fires them when he can. At the end Boulerice lands a beauty when the linesmen start to come in.

Jan 24, 2003	1pd 10:25	Jesse Boulerice	FLA	Peter Worrell
Comments: Boulerice and Worrell squareoff. They grab hold of each other's jerseys with their left hands. Boulerice extends his left which holds the shirt into a jab, and Jesse at first seems to have the larger man looking for balance. Boulerice lifts Worrell's jersey over his face, and Worrell's helmet comes off easily. Right after this, Worrell lands an overhand right to the side of a turning Boulerice's head. The two struggle, staying at arm's length and circling to gain control over the other. Boulerice swings with a big right, but he clearly misses Worrell, who has him at too far a distance. The two still holding each other with their left hands, Worrell throws Boulerice slightly off balance with a strong shove, and then, taking advantage of his longer reach, lands another overhand right. Boulerice quickly gathers himself and sends a solid right to the body of Worrell and another strong right to the back of Worrell's uncovered head. Worrell appears to gain the upper hand as Boulerice tries to pull his jersey in front of his face. Worrell misses with a right, but uses the momentum to follow through with his forearm, taking Boulerice to the ice in the process. Peter has Jesse on the ice, under him, and as the two begin to get up the linesmen grab them. Boulerice holds on to Worrell's jersey as the referees are between them, but the linesmen manage to separate them. The whole fight has occured very quickly.

Jan 29, 2003	2pd 12:58	Jesse Boulerice	TOR	Wade Belak
Comments: Decently long fight. Belak starts off with left-hand shirt punches. They start spinning around and both are throwing rights, Belak to the head, Boulerice to the body. Belak comes back with a few more rights, one or two of which seem to land. Belak gets a bit off balance and switches to his left while Boulerice throws a couple back at him, landing at least one. Belak throws a few wild lefts and ducks a big right by Boulerice. He then lands a shot on Boulerice who goes down, but more like a slip than a knockdown.

Comments: Early in the game, both teams are antsy and a big check sets this off. Lapointe is firing rights, landing most as Adams is hunched over. Adams goes to straighten up and throws a big left that stuns Lapointe, and then another left that puts him down!

Comments: Both square off at center ice. They start off grappling and then trade rights. Vasicek then swings over Doan and gets bent over in a bad position.

Comments: Malec Speared Ian Moran in the neutral zone in the second period. Pushor and Manderville both went after Malec but it was Mandeville that ended on top throwing rights, Mandy landed 2 good ones and Malec covered up and received nothing. Next period McKenna goes after Malec, no real fight, he just tossed him around like a rag doll and Ville Niemenen ended up going with Malec. Pretty good scrap, both guys throwing and landing, Niemenen's lip was cut, but Niemenen did a good job of standing up for a teammate. Other Penalties: McKenna received an instigator, misconduct and game misconduct; Nieminen a double instigator, misconduct and game misconduct.

Mar 18, 2003	2pd 18:52	Craig Adams	OTT	Chris Neil
Comments: Really not much of a fight. Late in the second period Neil starts roughing up Craig MacDonald for several seconds. Adams steps in and after a couple of shoves they drop the gloves and lock up. Neil throws a couple of punches, couldn't tell if he landed an uppercut since the camera angle was directly behind Adams. Adams didn't get any punches off. The linesmen broke it up pretty quickly. Other Penalties: Neil received a roughing.
