Gratton and Vandy Get Them Cheering

Light night for 10 games, but Josh Gratton and Jim Vandermeer didn’t disappoint.  9,078 was the announced attendance in Chicago and they got to see a decent show, or at least a couple of highlights.

If you don’t know what FOY stands for, let me tell you: Fight of the Year.  Tonight’s bout might not be it, but it’s a candidate.

Hopefully I get to keep saying that.

‘Hawks fans were treated to a beauty of a bout early on, then saw a game end 1-1 after regulation before watching a shootout, if you’re into that sort of thing.  I doubt many were after watching Phoenix win it, having to wait five rounds before seeing the first goal.  I also have little doubt some fans were confused about how Jeremy Roenick was wearing a Coyotes jersey.  “He was on the Blackhawks last time I went to a game.”

We have the bout on the videos page as a Youtube preview along with the normal size clip.  You can also view the YT version after the jump in this post and in the forums along with a larger version for download.

Enjoy.
