More Fights

Last night’s game between the Oilers and Lightning was a pretty interesting game. There were some great plays, but there were also a couple of fights.

Stortini vs. Konopka

The first fight of the night came between Stortini and Konopka. It was a long fight and both players put in a good effort. This one really could have gone either way, until Konopka got the advantage.

Downey vs. Stone

This fight was interesting. The whistle had blown and the play was over. It was obvious that the Oilers were trying to get to Downey before he went to the box to serve his tripping call.

Downey and Stone have both fought before, and are two very tough guys. That’s what made this fight fun to watch. We get to see two very tough guys fight each other at an awkward time on the ice, after the whistle and during a tie game.

Normally, you would have Stone wait until the penalty was over. But, you could tell that they were upset with Downey and wanted to get him right then. So, here’s the replay below.

I’m going to have to give this fight to Stone. He had a clear advantage for most of the fight and Downey was having a tough time getting set. Feel free to run below and let me know what you think with a comment.
