I’m going to have to call this one a very well fought draw. I think the announcers summed it up better than I ever will be able to. I’m really glad that they had the hit from Iginla on Souray, I was going to get that one and put it up, but now I don’t have to.

This fight could have gone either way. Iginla got the upper edge at the beginning. Most of the time, the refs would have jumped in and ended it. You could see them jump when Iginla went down too for a second, but for the most part they gave Souray a chance to get back up. They did a great job letting these two players settle an old score.

The other thing I like about this fight is the frustration that you could see in both players. There wasn’t any defensiveness in either one of them. Both were focused on attacking the other player and throwing as many punches as possible.
