In 2006 a respectable rumble between the Minnesota Wild’s Alex Henry and Colorado Avalanche’s Bob Boughner unfolded on the ice in a game between the teams. Possibly as entertaining as the series of blows exchanged is Henry’s eagerness to keep things going even after each man ends up belly-down.

With fights dwindling given the decreasing number of games remaining in the season we’re going back in time once again to look at a great bout from seasons’ past.
When it comes to ex-Columbus Blue Jackets’ player Jody Shelley, the fact his first/last name have a feminine ring to them may not have anything to do with his toughness, but the tenacity with which he takes out the Minnesota Wild’s Jesse Boulerice in this clip seems to lend credit to the message behind the classic Johnny Cash tune Boy Named Sue.

For today’s look back at some of the beautiful brawls of NHL-yesteryear the time machine is only set to 2006.
In this clip, the New York Rangers’ Colton Orr and Ottawa Senators’ Brian McGrattan mix it up. However, in the sequence, Orr is actually the aggressor while McGrattan doesn’t seem to want to drop his gloves at first. Apparently, based on the end result, his hesitance was not a matter of fear but rather concern for Orr’s health.

Hockey players are tough in general but there are a few souls who set themselves apart from the bunch by being downright nasty. One of those men is Shawn Thornton, a Boston Bruins’ “enforcer” who has dished out his fair share of beatdowns over the years. While not a bloodbath by any means, this recent throwdown between Thornton and the Buffalo Sabres’ Robyn Regehr is a good example of exactly why you don’t want any of the veteran’s punches connecting.

A Lesson in Street MMA: New York vs. New Jersey brawls inside of hockey rinks are inevitable
Hockey is a cool sport to accidentally spill your beer over a person sitting next to you and immediately get kicked out of whatever place you were in. This is all from experience, which is the sole reason why I'm no longer a hockey fan. I don't need to get removed from any more places. Perhaps I need to, but I just don't want to. In fact, I don't want to get punched in the face and increase my probability of directly face planting on ice. I'm staying off ice for the rest of the day to ensure this. I won't even get a Slurpee.
I'm sure you're guilty of salivating in front of your television as a hockey fight went down on national television. Now just imagine three separate fights, all occurring at the same time in the same state that bans MMA. You can almost taste the irony in this one, yet check out the brawl between the New York Rangers and the New Jersey Devils that occurred last night -- and props to Rangers for clinching a playoff spot with their win.

If there’s one word to describe today’s entry it’s “fun”, at least if you aren’t one of the two men involved in the clip. The Columbus Blue Jackets’ Jared Boll and Calgary Flames’ Guillaume Desbiens decided to get fans going over the weekend by engaging in a back-and-forth brawl with blood being drawn and clean shots being landed. While one man exits with a slim advantage they both get respect after the gutsy effort each turns in.

There are a handful of players opponents should be wary of crossing paths with on the ice when it comes to throwing down in a hockey game. One of those individuals is unquestionably the Philadelphia Flyers’ Zac Rinaldo who shows exactly why in this clash with Gregory Campbell from last night’s game against the Boston Bruins.

In hockey the terms “forgive” and “forget” are not typically found in players’ vocabulary, at least when it comes to past fights or hard hits. Evidence of that attitude surfaced over the weekend when the New York Islanders met with crosstown rivals the New York Rangers and players Micheal Haley-Stu Bickel picked right back up where they left on when the teams met in late December, going right after each other and fighting furiously until split up by the refs.

This clip from a recent game between the Tampa Bay Lightning and Phoenix Coyotes shows exactly why, as the Lightning’s Keith Aulie didn’t take too kindly to a hit from the Coyotes’ Colin Greening and made his distaste known with a sucker-shove to the face to kick off a decent little dance between the two.

However, when the Chicago Blackhawks’ Brandon Bollig (who is from St. Louis) crossed paths with the St. Louis Blues he decided to show his town just how tough he is, picking a fight with Ryan Reaves and delivering an entertaining scrap from fans to enjoy regardless of where they’re from.

Both teams, known for their history as well as tough-nosed players, are close enough regionally to make the Devils-Bruins one of the best rivalries in sports and last night’s game between the two teams did not disappoint. Also not surprising, two of the men who decided to tussle happen to be familiar faces around the penalty box – Shawn Thornton and Eric Boulton.

As even a non-fan might guess, occasionally hockey players take exception to being checked by an opposing player. Such was certainly the case in this battle last night between the St. Louis Blues’ Scott Nichol and Dallas Stars’ Jake Dowell, as Nichol was none too pleased with Dowell after hitting him with what he thought was a cheap shot.

There’s something commendable about a teammate coming over to stick up for a fallen friend after an opposing player levels him on the ice. However, typically the individual who comes to the rescue should know how to fight if opting to go that route. Case in point, this brawl from last night’s game between the Minnesota Wild and St. Louis Blues featuring Brad Staubitz and Ryan Reaves.

Typically when two men lock horns on the ice the one who absorbs the most damage ends up going down before the other. However, in the case of the Florida Panthers’ Krys Barch and Pittsburgh Penguins’ Arron Asham it turns out the player who dishes out the night’s biggest shot finds himself face-down on the ice rather than the man who ate the strike.

Though the match-up may sound straight out of a WWE ring with names like Maxim LaPierre and Roman Polak involved, but this scrap last night between both NHL players in the Vancouver Canucks vs. St. Louis Blues game serves as evidence of a rarity in hockey – a fight where one man doesn’t even appear to land a single shot before absorbing multiple blows on his own. Not only that, one of the two is smart enough to push his opponent up against the wall to neutralize his attack. It’s short and sweet but worth watching all the same…

Like most competitive sports, friendships past and present typically get put aside in hockey when two individual players face off on opposite teams. Such was recently the case when former teammates Shawn Thornton and Mark Stuart met on the ice in a recent game between the Boston Bruins and Winnipeg Jets where they not only played against each other but brawled!

Casual fans may feel hockey players are down to fight no matter what. However, as it turns out, many can be selective in their scraps as evident in a bout between the Columbus Blue Jackets’ Jared Boll and Chicago Blackhawks’ Steve Montador. Boll’s name is no stranger around these parts and, as appears to be the case in this particular pairing, Montador will probably think twice before confronting him again down the road.

Contrary to popular belief not all hockey fights start as an immediate response to action on the ice. In fact, in many cases the two participants will discuss the likelihood of throwing down before the game even starts. Case in point, the Philadelphia Flyers’ Zac Rinaldo and Ottawa Senators’ Zenon Konopka are caught talking to each other in a civilized manner before the game starts, then throw down right away after things actually begin.

When it comes to fighting on the ice it seems Columbus may want to re-name their franchise the “Black and Blue Jackets” after the pure beatdown Jared Boll put on the Anaheim Ducks’ Sheldon Brookbank last night. The fight may only go for 5-10 seconds, but lots of damage is dished out and though it ain’t pretty it sure is entertaining!

Not all hockey fights are purely punching. In fact, fans who tune in to enough will occasionally come across a bit of grappling mixed in as well. Such was the case recently when the Nashville Predators’ Jordin Tootoo (one of the best names in hockey by the way) locked horns with the Dallas Stars’ Mark Fistric. Without giving anything away let’s just say one of the two men ends up on the wrong side of a body slam to the ice…

Case in point, last night’s brawl between the Toronto Maple Leaf’s Luke Schenn and Tampa Bay Lightning’s’ Nate Thompson where Thompson ate about ten shots before even getting an opportunity to fire one back. In fact, Schenn was in such control he actually removed Thompson’s helmet mid-fight to make his shots extra effective.
