Grant Only Pred With Fight
Predators fans didn’t have much to cheer about last night, getting thumped 6-1 by the Oilers. Triston Grant gave the home crowd something to get out of their seats for. Grant, in his first regular season NHL fight since 2006-07, took on Zack Stortini. Stortini swung openly and landed a few to open up the fight. The linesmen stood back and Grant was able to make it a fight before the tired out and were escorted to their respective penalty boxes.
Game of the night was easily the Flames blowing a five-goal lead to the Blackhawks. The game was in Chicago and the crowd was great. Brent Seabrook scored the sixth goal for the Hawks, and the game-winner in OT. There was one fight in the game. Calgary captain Jarome Iginla was in control in a scrap against Troy Brouwer. Unfortunately for the Flames, it could not stop Chicago’s momentum.
A couple of heavyweights dropped the gloves in Madison Square Garden. Donald Brashear and Colton Orr went head-to-head for the seventh time in the NHL. The previous six times Orr was in the Rangers jersey. Brashear is still working on winning over the hometown crowd.
