Torres, of the Aryan Torres', made it closer than I expected...
Not much here.
Draw
Mayars attempts some payback but Torres "squirmily" holds his own in an uneventful spin-o-rama draw
Draw, at best.
pretty even fight.
draw.
Why are comments not working?
decent scrap, draw.
Good fight by both , draw.
Torres looking for a change and Mayers challenges him. I call it a draw. If Torres is fresh it may have been different.
It was OK, for who the Hawks have on the roster, it got the job done.
Tough fight. Torres didn't really get as many punches as would have expected.
torres had it coming for that hit on hossa in last season's 1st play off round and im glad he obliged....not many punches connecting.draw in a spirited fight...6
Mayers doing what he does best, fighting to a draw. No message sent here. Let Bollig handle the dirty work next time.
That was a pretty good fight....and if you voted on this fight from an outsiders eyes, it's an easy draw. I'm pretty sure Hawks fans voted for their guy and the Yotes voted for theirs. Both got licks in and finished at a solid draw
Great camera work boys! One of the most anticipated fight nights and you can't get a camera on it from start to finish. I can't see a clear winner in this footage.....but my hat is off to Jamal. I want Bollig next time to take care of him.
Pretty good tilt. Looked like a draw to me.
Torres is a cheap shot dick...... this again no fight- lame excuses this year... best shots Mayers- best dance score 2/10
We all know what that was about and Jamal almost pulled it off.
I would have liked bollig to take care of him...i don't get it, the guy takes out one of your best player and you send the no3 ranked fighter on your team?!?!
Mayers landed the better bombs
Mayers with the edge, nice shot at the end! Would like to see Torres pay a bigger price next time they play, hopefully Bollig's hand stitches are out by then.
Chicago needed to send out a tougher guy. Torres deserves a beat down...he didn't get it. Close, so so fight with Mayers winning by a slight margin.
personally i would have rather seen bollig pound torres
Mayers landed some heavy shots to edge out Torres.
More Torres blood on the ice would have made this fight better.
Torres was stunned by a right
Torres is a punk; deserves a much better beating
Mayers landed 2 good shots towards the end. Edge to Mayers in a close scrap.
Give edge to Jamal, easily a draw.....okay now the Hossa thing is done, enough already.
Very predictable scrap here, everyone knew a fight would happen and most likely with Jamal Mayers. Good scrap as Mayers landed early and Torres late, slight edge to Mayers in this one.
Why have the comments viewer been down for the past couple days? I'm anxious to see all the Hawks-haters opinions on this scrap. The only credit Torres deserves is for answering the bell on this. Before and after that he's still a cheap POS. He has hockey skills that the Yotes could have used in the playoffs that may have taken them farther. Then again, I don't think they would have gotten past the Hawks last year if he hadn't taken out Hossa. And even though he had to answer for that Hossa hit last night, he hurt them because it was all Hawks after that scrap. Kudos to Mayers. It was great to see him take the role and I'm sure there was a long line of Hawks wanting this scrap. But after Duncan stepped up on Tuesday when Mayers was leveled by Desjardins, it was only fitting that he step up here. The Hawks are a great team and are showing it in all facets.
Giving this one to Mayers for policing his team and sticking up for Hossa. This is the only sport in the world where it's honorable to stick up for your team with your fists, even a year later. Hockey players have a long memory and don't forgive. Thank god for the NHL.
mayers
Was anyone within a 5000 mile radius surprised by this? Thug Torres needed a little reminder about why messing with Hoss was a bad idea. Both the fight and the game were vivid illustrations of the cream rising to the top, even if it took a couple of months (and a 100+ day lockout) for it to occur. Go Hawks!
Mayers knew that someone had to step up and drop the gloves with arguably the dirtiest player in the league after what he did to one of the most stand-up players in the league last year. Torres definitely got what was coming to him, and I don't think you've seen the last of the Hawks going after Raffi.
Torres is a dirty player
I think he got the win anyway, but considering the situation, Mayers could have taken 8 to the face and left out cold on the ice, but as long as he lands one square to the face of Torres like he did. Its a win for Mayers.
So... For revenge, you're sending out geriatric Jamal... You've great fighter like Bollig and Mayers gets the tap on the shoulder - Torres must have waiting the rest of the game for a real challenge
I was expecting to see a Mayers win, but I saw a very close fight. I gave the win to Torres instead of a draw simply because it looks like he was into a shift and Mayers was fresh off of the bench. I know everyone hates Torres for his "questionable" hits, but the fight is the fight regardless of who is a more popular.
Torres still spanked the Chicago Blackhawks,winner Torres
I dont see how all these guys think Nayers won that...Raffi clearly got more punches in, and dropped him.
If your gonna come off the bench with fresh legs you better win the fight. Mayers did not do that
Mayers lands nothing and flops to the ice. How does Mayers get the win?
Special place in hell for Raffi Torres. Biggest cheap shot artist in league history. Prob afraid to step foot in chicago. Should be too.
Win raffi, landed way more blows and took him down. But let me get this straight, the Blackhawks insist Torres answer the bell for a hit that was borderline, sure thats fine. But when one of their stars delivers a flying elbow to one of Vancouvers star players, the canucks are just supposed to get over it? More BS from another classless organization
I wish they would've set this fight up off of a faceoff. I also wish the feed would've showed Torres' hit last year that led to this fight. I give it to Torres though.
Mayers was not expecting that!
Jamal had the better shots. This fight was a long time coming. The NHL knew what they were doing by booking Torres's first game back from suspension against the Hawks. No delay! Get it done and get back to playing hockey.
Drawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!Any other vote was made by a Homer!
Mayers has always been a wuss. Never liked him ever since his time with the Blues
Tough fight to call, I thought Mayers landed a real nice right but Torres took it well. Even.
Solid draw and a prety good scrap. Both fighters missed and connected about the same and both seemed to "pull each other to the ice". On a side note, I don't think this qualifies as "answering the bell" for Torres. Those that remember the blindside hit will also remember that Bollig tried to make him answer the bell and Torres either turtled, of felt his menses running down his leg and had to asjust his tampon--I couldn't tell for sure from the camera angle. Cherry-picking who you face for taking liberties on another team's players does not qualify as answering the bell.
Win for Mayers, but very close to a draw. Torres deserved more of a beatdown, but I guess this is all Chicago could muster.
Horribly timed fight for Mayers, and not enough vengeance. Torres needs another go.
Torres knew it was coming...probably didnt know from whom. Both traded right hands. Mayers connected more often. Fight changed the momentum of the game.Win-Win for Chicago.
Mayers takes the win as he stunned Torres and dropped him to a knee. Torres took the fight willingly though, so kudos to him
Allday Jam-On-It
Mayers Wins in a good tilt and .....LAKE OF BAYS Rules MUSKOKA !!!! :))
watched this in slo mo and torres connected with the two best shots for the win.
