Windy City Wars

All of Monday night’s action took place in Chicago courtesy of a pair of fights in the second period of last night’s Avalanche–Blackhawks game. Ian Laperriere and Ben Eager wrestled around in close quarters and were followed by Cody McLeod and Adam Burish, who each landed their fair share of shots in a spirited scrap.

Welcome the Fight of the Week

Frequent emails have led to the creation of our newest addition, a Fight of the Week column. Every Sunday or Monday we’ll post our pick of the week, and link up a couple of other good ones as well. Since the clip will have a higher quality version of the fight inside, we recommend upgrading Flash for those experiencing trouble. The column also has its own feed.
