Other Penalties: Radek Faksa received a slashing and roughing; Mike Smith a double roughing.
What was shaping up to be a very entertaining donneybrook got snuffed out by the linesman. Who doesn't want to see Smith go with Faksa? One guy in stripes playing dad and ruining the whole thing. Lame.
The emotion was good to see from both teams. I really didn't see the quick scrap and couldn't tell if Crouse landed anything. Draw.
Smitty, shell-shocked from playing all season with a weak D in front of him, had enough and gave Faksa the what for. Meanwhile, Crouse manhandled the underwhelming McKenzie, punching him when he was down on the ice along the boards. That was shown on the Fox Sports Southwest coverage for the Dallas market. McKenzie is oh for everything on his career fight scorecard.
Arizona announcers need to get a clue. They're as unprofessional and overly biased as any in the league.
Tuff guy McKenzie should be embarrassed. What is with that puss-wad Faksa ?? Trying to fight a goalie. What a total fag. Guess the Stars suck so they play the Lindy Ruff way.
Is the announcer from Arizona for real? Truly a guy who has no clue about hockey. This was a scrum at best, I wouldn't call it a fight. He is trying to hype it like a WWE event.
Malay around Smith and we get a new age version off an all out all player tango.Which means a lot of pushing and shoving but no real fighting.The fight was more like Mackenzie just sticking up for his goalie.
McKenzie disappeared under his jersey real fast there... Almost looked like old time hockey.
Stripes suck as usual.
Crap fight. Crouse with the W, I guess. But I can't stand the Arizona announcers. The guy probably ejaculated in his pants. Who's the loser anyway?
Whats with the zebras,, ruining the game
Win Crouse. Let Smith and Faksa go if they wanted to.
oh, how i hate that big flopper.seeing the stars making him so pissed off made my day...i like how faksa plays with the edge this season.it must have rubbed on him while playing with roussel i dont know what was mckenzie thinking but it looked like his was adjusting his mouth guard while crouse was coming at him and crouse is huge 19years old kid...easy win crouse..the fight wasnt much but igave it a 6 for the whole sequence
See bigmike53's commentary. He nails it dead-nuts on, as usual.
For those wondering who the announcer is that "doesn't have a clue" he's a former NHL player who would kick your ass. Not sure why people get so annoyed with Tyson Nash. Yeah he's over the top but I find it rather funny. I also like the fact that he gets that pumped up when the game gets rough. We're on a hockey fight site for christ sake. And at least he's been there and fought a lot in the show, unlike an idiot like Jack Edwards.
Giving this a draw and a one since I didn't even notice the "fight" happen. The announcers are almost as bad as Mike Smith's tempter tantrum. Tough guy should have got run ASAP.
Smith should have gotten more
If anyone saw a fight in this please check your meds, you might be missing something. I didn't.
Haha!! Love the comments about Coyote announcers. One of the benefits of being a STHer is only I need to put up with then 41x a year. Tyson Nash, former Coyote and Blue, is the cheerleader.
