Good tilt. Carkner early Barch late solid draw
Barch might have done a little better in this bout than he did against Thornton but again: name me the last fight this dude has cleanly won. Carkner landed at least 10 shots until he started to tire and Barch made a mini comeback. Carkner is still a tough dude and a top five guy while Barch is barely holding onto a roster spot. Win for Carkner and a 7. Hope the devils upgrade at the position
This was a pretty good battle. I think Carkner started off good but Barch was stronger late in the going but I don't think his finish was quite as good as Carkner's beginning. I give Carkner a narrow win here.
Looked like CARKNER didnt want to be bothered .did enough to win,but heart wasnt in it .BARCH landed one little tap in the end .took a bunch of light punches early.again with the DEVIL feed .please if you have a choice dont use the DEVIL'S feed .
Carkner dominated early but ran out of steam, while Barch stayed active and earned the draw.
I feel with the game close ( 2nd period, 0-0 score ), Carkner should have skated away from Barch and draw a powerplay for his team. As for the fight, Carkner dominated early. Barch made a come back (after Carkner called the linesmen in ) but not enough. Win Carkner.
Slight edge to Carkner although Barch came back at the end.
Carkner controlled early but didn't didn't land as solid of shots as I thought he would, and then Barch was able to connect with a couple of good hits. really good bout though
I see mcb798 is back with his unfunny schtick.
Barch should have gotten a minor penalty, a major penalty for fighting, a ten-minute misconduct and a game misconduct penalty since he dropped the gloves when Carkner was still going to play the puck
Carks lands a dozen dirty shots before barch realizes that he cando that too -not a bad tilt but is better on mute - seriously, commentators of the US - terrible
Carnker wins a fight between two guys that lose more fights than they win.
Carkner early Barch late. Barch with one good shot to Matt's dome but Matt was more consistent with the punches to the face. Win Carkner!
Barch passes on the winger's offer to dance (couldn't see who it was on my "way too small" i-phone screen) and makes a B-line for Carkner The latter quickly obliges and immediately establishes a superior grip allowing him to effectively pick his spots Cleverly or perhaps not Barch switches tactics and decides to go for the (about 30% of success rate) Langdon-Janssen "weather the storm" routine Hard to call it a successful strategy in this one but he was did manage to land at least two significant shots in the fight (middle and end) but even those were only in the midst of Carkner's seemingly endless barrage Sidebar: Was that Chico meekly attempting and ultimately failing to pluralize the "word" linesman? """linesmens"" ????? That's gold Jerry!
Decent fight but i think Barch ate more than Carkner did so edge to Carkner from who i expected more!
Final blow from Barch the best of the match. Carkner worked more and landed enough to obtain the win. NJ Devils announcers are without a doubt the wrost in the NHL. Most local guys root for their teams, but these guys prett much make shit up, its like the're watching a different game. 6
carkner gets the win.
carkner
first round 8-0 Cark second 6-2 barch
Carkner with the win...Barch with a shot at the end. but not enough
Nice fight. Carkner gets the win but takes some good pops
Carkner had the better shots. Barch came back a bit but not enough to get the decision. Edge Carkner.
Barch seems to get better the longer the fight lasts. He took to many shots early when he lost his grip on Carkners right. Carkner wins but is probably glad they stopped it when they did.
Carkner is a seasoned pro at fighting and got more punchs in but Barch hung in there and got the last good shot in - great fight
Carkner early, Barch late. Draw overall. Pretty solid hit by Barch at the end
going draw here
whoever designed those isles jerseys deserves to get beaten up. Carkner won.
Win by Carkner. That now makes 3 fights for Barch as a Devil which he has lost.
Carkner with the solid win, but Barch has always been a gamer. I have always preferred the chuckin knuckles fights as opposed to stretched out bomb attempts. That being said, I also prefer Darwin beating the shite out of the religious ...
Carkner controlled, was busier and landed more. Narrow win Carkner.
CARKNER WIN
Carks early, Barchy late.

Draw.Nice of Barch to drop Gloves and stick before Carkner totally knew about the fight.Barch always takes first then starts late.He landed one real hard shot on Carkner.It`s like Barch has to be hit in the head to wake up.Might be from being hit in the head to much. 154 FIGHTING MAJORS IN THE NHL 2013 SO FAR THIS YEAR WHAT IS IT REALLY JUST 3 WEEKS NOW " KEEP IT UP BOYS.WHAT LOCKOUT IT MADE THIS YEARS SCHEDULE MORE INTENSE.
Good start by one and good finish by the other - DRAW
Respect to both men - proper draw.
Good stamina for Barch, but not enough to overcome Carkner's early lead.
carkner early - barch sent his lid flying late - not enough to win
...WHY did the linesmen feel they had to JUMP-IN, just when Barch lands the best punch of the fight?!,....LET the fights play-out and come-to a natural finish! Carkner wins this INTERRUPTED bout,.....but, it should've been ALLOWED to go on,.....
Very close bout, but even though Barch came back late and showed great stamina, he ate too many at the start... Impressive showing from both guys...
barch wins easily.
