Abdel-fighter

I over heard several conversations during the game against the Los Angeles Kings last week stating that Justin Abdelkader was not a scrappy player and could not fight.




JUSTIN

ABDELKADER

CAN

FIGHT

(and he can fight Doug Janik too)

Screw Milbury, Scrap it out

Aaron Downey rocked at it... and gesturing


Steve Yzerman did it...
(The only footage I've ever really found of Stevie fighting)



Teammates have done it...



Even this guy did it... Wait a second... That's Mike Milbury....


What's that saying? People in glass houses shouldn't... uh... do something... with stones... Hypocrite something something.

Yes, I'm aware Mike was just questioning fighting's place in today's game and suggesting that it's role is merely there because we like it. I don't agree with Mike. I don't agree with the officials stopping fights or the league discouraging them. Fighting has it's place in this game and it always has. Whether it's done for momentum, intimidation, defense, retaliation, protection of other players, retribution, bad blood, or as a part of a rivalry fighting is more than just for entertainment.

Fisticuffs make Mondays better

Also... Ya know who was a good fighter? Darren McCarty
You should maybe follow him. Just saying.



Gotta throw DMac some love here at HB

Wait... Is that Doug Janik?!?

The epic fight night at the Joe.



Jiri Fischer demolishes Scott Hartnell





AND LASTLY...



Justin Abdelkader fighting... DOUG JANIK?!?!

It's a lovely day for some fights, eh?

We're baaaaaack!

After a couple weeks off, Hockey Blogette is back on this the most vomitous day of the year. So with that being said, What better way to start of Valentine's Day than with a fight.



Approximately 8... THOUSAND fights? I couldn't pass up using the brawl night from the Islanders versus Penguins game as the first fight of the week.
