Ducks Won’t Sway

The Ducks are in a bit of a funk, but it hasn’t stopped them from dropping the gloves any.  With two last night they now have 45 fighting majors on the year.  That’s 17 more than the second place Blues.

The Ducks may be used to throwing down, but the Oilers aren’t and there are calls for the team to get tougher.

The Oilers stepped up tonight, beating the Ducks 4-1 and getting into two scraps: Travis Moen–Matt Greene and Shawn Thornton–Mathieu Roy.  Both fights had some action and the Moen-Greene bout is one of two new Youtube previews on the videos page.  Josh Gratton–Rob Davison is the other Youtuber.  You can always count on Gratton for an open, exciting fight, no matter what the outcome.

Some pointers:
Hockey night’s all right for fighting– Leafs TV’s Jody Vance declares her NHL includes fighting.
Best of 1st Half: Best Fighter – ESPN’s Barry Melrose and EJ Hradek pick their best fighters so far.  The link is to a video.  I’ll spoil it some, one picks Brashear, the other Boogaard.  Who’s your first half champ?
