Brian McGrattan with another win, dominating Jared Boll

November 20, 2011   HockeyFightVids.com   No comments

Blue Jackets Jared Boll has balls and maybe now a sore head as he dropped the gloves with Predators Brian McGrattan and took a beating. With Steve MacIntyre in the minors, is McGrattan the best enforcer in the league now? I love the way McGrattan fights, just standing there throwing punches until he is tired but he does leave himself open and sooner or later he may take one that knocks him woozy. Here’s the McGrattan-Boll fight, check out the rights that land on Boll’s head.

Talking about a bad team with Columbus they also have bad broadcasters. As you listen to the Columbus broadcast during that fight they have McGrattan’s name wrong. Who is McKracken? They’re also wrong how Nashville got McGrattan. The Predators claimed McGrattan off waivers from the Ducks on October 11th during the season, not in the offseason. Columbus managed to win the game in overtime, maybe that will delay Jeff Carter’s next trade request.

And maybe it’s karma for Jared Boll that he got beat up, as two nights ago he dropped the gloves with Bruins Shawn Thornton and broke the code as he threw two punches with the linesmen between them which really pissed off Thornton. I don’t know, I’m just saying.

Oilers and Rangers brawl during ‘Kids Day’ at MSG

November 15, 2010   HockeyFightVids.com   No comments

In a game where heavyweights Steve MacIntyre and Derek Boogaard fought each other twice, you would think that would be the talk of the game, well leave it to Sean Avery to get the attention. Not a surprise. In the third period, MacIntyre and Boogaard squared off twice, with Boogaard getting the edge in the first one and the second fight was probably more of a draw. You can watch those fights down below.

Later in the third period, the fun started. The game was at 5-2 with the Rangers leading. Avery laid out Colin Fraser with a clean check and Ladislav Smid challenged Avery to fight. Avery declined twice and then decided to drop the gloves and got a quick punch on Smid which sent Smid to the ice. Some are calling it a sucker punch. I’m not sure it was a sucker punch but it is close to being one.

After the Smid-Avery fight they went to a commercial but when they came back the commentators tell us that all hell broke loose. On his way off the ice Avery was going to the runway and Ryan Whitney came over with some words for him and then Theo Peckham went over trying to get at Avery. That’s when everything broke out. Zack Stortini and Brandon Prust got together and had a long fight while Brian Boyle paired off with Peckham. For some reason Fraser was going at it with the Rangers bench, mainly Brandon Dubinsky. As Rangers players tried to get at Fraser from the bench, coach John Tortorella was trying to hold back Dubinsky and other Rangers. You can watch all the mayhem down below. I guess it’s too bad these teams only meet once this year. And this afternoon game was “Kids Day” at MSG, go figure.

Steve MacIntyre knocks out Raitis Ivanans

October 08, 2010   HockeyFightVids.com   No comments

Well it didn’t take long for the first fights of the NHL season to take place. Actually the first four fights of the season all happened in the Battle of Alberta game last night between the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers. The most notable fight had to be between the heavyweights, Oilers Steve MacIntyre and Flames Raitis Ivanans. Ivanans a little earlier high sticked Magnus Paajarvi in the mouth and no penalty was assessed on the play. So with 2:20 left in the game MacIntyre and Ivanans drop the gloves after talking during and after a faceoff. Both traded some good punches with MacIntyre landing more. Then it looked like Ivanans was trying to switch hands to throw and MacIntyre landed a huge right that dropped Ivanans. Ivanans had a cut over his left eye, was woozy, and left the ice with the help of some teammates. You can watch the fight below.

We hope he is ok and is able to play in the next Flames game. Ivanan’s agent via Twitter said he was ok. And Bob McKenzie over at TSN is already complaining about fighting in hockey.

Heavyweight fight Ivanans vs MacIntyre

October 02, 2010   HockeyFightVids.com   No comments

Last night’s preseason game between the Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers, the Battle of Alberta lived on as there were a few fights in the game. Most notable though was the heavyweight fight between Flames Raitis Ivanans and Oilers Steve MacIntyre. MacIntyre gets the decision in that fight, watch it below and let us know what you think. It will be interesting seeing these two teams play throughout the season and I think you will definitely see more fights and probably more Ivanans vs MacIntyre matchups. I’m hoping both Ivanans and MacIntyre play regularly during the season.

Raitis Ivanans vs Jean-Francois Jacques

In our fifth part of this series, looking at the teams in each division in the NHL and seeing who will be the team’s enforcer, we’ll take a look at the teams in the Northwest division.

The first team we’ll take a look at are the Calgary Flames. The Flames made lots of moves during the off-season, including changing their enforcer. They let Brian McGrattan go, and brought in ex-Kings enforcer Raitis Ivanans and ex-Islander Tim Jackman. Ivanans had 14 fights in 61 games with the Los Angeles Kings. Jackman had 10 fights in 54 games with the New York Islanders.

The next team we’ll look at are the Colorado Avalanche. If David Koci is able to keep his roster spot from last season then he’ll be the big enforcer for the Avs. Last season Koci had 11 fights in 43 games. The Avs also have Cody McLeod who can fill that role if needed. McLeod had 18 fights in 74 games last season.

Up next are the rebuilding Edmonton Oilers. With all of their young players, they made sure to bring in tough guys. The Oilers signed enforcer Steve MacIntyre in the off-season to protect their young players, such as Taylor Hall. MacIntyre had 4 fights in 22 games last season for the Edmonton Oilers and Florida Panthers combined. Hopefully the Oilers will dress him nightly and not send him down to the minors. Zack Stortini will again be an enforcer for them, having 17 fights in 77 games last season. In a trade in the off-season, the Oilers got tough guy defenseman Jim Vandermeer. Vandermeer had 1 fight in 62 games last season with the Phoenix Coyotes. The Oilers also have Jean-Francois Jacques (8 fights in 49 games last season), Theo Peckham (1 fight in 15 games last season), and veteran Jason Strudwick (6 fights in 72 games last season) who all know how to throw down when necessary.

Next up are the Minnesota Wild. The Wild lossed both Derek Boogaard and John Scott to free agency this off-season. So they signed former Shark Brad Staubitz to be their tough guy. Last season with the Sharks, Staubitz had 12 fights in 47 games.

The last team to look at are the Vancouver Canucks. A lot of people have high hopes for Canucks this season. The Canucks don’t have a big heavyweight enforcer, but they have capable middleweights in Darcy Hordichuk and Rick Rypien. Even Tanner Glass can throw down when he has to. Hordichuk had 14 fights in 56 games last season. Rypien had 16 fights in 69 games last season. Glass had 15 fights in 67 games last season.

The next division we will look at is the Pacific division. Stay tuned for that post!

Panthers sign tough guy Andrew Peters

August 20, 2010   HockeyFightVids.com   No comments

Yesterday the Florida Panthers signed tough guy Andrew Peters to a one-year two-way contract. Last season Peters played with the New Jersey Devils and appeared in only 29 games and accumulating 93 PIMs. The Panthers needed to get a tough guy because Steve MacIntyre signed with the Edmonton Oilers in July.

Peters, 30, has appeared in 229 NHL games with Buffalo (2003-09) and New Jersey (09-10), registering seven points (4-3-7) with 650 PIM. The 6-foot-4, 240-pound winger paced New Jersey with 93 PIM last season. Peters recorded a career high 151 PIM with the Sabres during the 2003-04 campaign and led the American Hockey League with 388 PIM during the 2001-02 season.

“With the addition of Andrew, we immediately add a physical presence to our line-up,” said Tallon. “He brings an aggressive style of play and a dimension that our team needed to address this offseason. We look forward to his contributions to our club.”

Well I’m hoping Peters gets a chance to stay with the NHL club throughout the season and play. Hopefully they don’t do to him what they did to MacIntyre last season which was bring him up and down throughout the season. Here’s one of Peters fights from last season.
