This was yesterday. I love it. As good if not better than the Drury brawl. What do you think? (Senators brawl below, Islanders brawl above) I think that if this stuff keeps up, Buffalo might get a nice rep for crazy fights, which would be pretty spectacular. Maybe we already have one, I don't know. Megan, what NHL team is most known for crazy brawls? Is it us now?
I love the Sabres. So much. Not half as much as my sister, but I doubt anyone, including the players' wives, loves the Sabres as much as Megan. Fantastic.

Hey Dan. Too bad I have plans for tonight or else I could sit here for hours talking about hockey, you know that :) First of all, here is a link to the biggest AHL fight.

It was between the Scranton Penguins and the Binghamton Senators. You also got me inspired to do some youtubing. So here are some amazing fights I found. This one is not only a good fight to begin with, but its between goalies, and Roy is amazing. (pronounced Wah)

Of course, I couldn't do all this without showing the video of Danny Briere's one and only true fight. It is from when he played for Phoenix and its basically the only actual fight he's ever been in.

Also, I couldn't do this without some action from Rob Ray! He got into so many fights that they began to make his jerseys customally so to limit the number of ripped jerseys. This next link is probably one of my favorite videos ever.

Obviously, the best of the best fights get totally out of hand and get the whole team riled up. For example, this bench clearing brawl between Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames. (This is soooo old, Winnipeg doesn't even have a team anymore)
And I hate to do this, but Sean Avery IS a good fighter. He just likes to run his mouth.

Buuuut lets end on a good note! I am so excited that we got Craig Rivet. He is a veteran of the sport and is not only a solid defenseman and a natural leader, but a magnificent fighter!

And just for the heck of it, here is Rob Ray vs Craig Rivet! Who should I root for!?

Well, hopefully I didn't distract you too much from studying ;) I know I had a lot of fun with this post.
Love you! Love, Megan.
PS - Thanks for basically dedicating this post to me.
Yikes! What a fun exchange to read--first your post, then Megan's exchange. No doubt about it, your sister is the Sabres/hockey expert in this house! Love, Mom
Dan,
great videos, i think the senators fight was the craziest but the more recent one was pretty nuts too.
You know the old saying...I went to a fight and a hocky game broke out...
nite
luv ya
dad
Dad pointed out that I forgot the link to the bench clearing brawl between Winnipeg Jets and Calgary Flames. Here you go :)

Megan, you are a nutcase. Did you see the game last night? How'd you like Vanek's shorthanded goal after the high stick call? I thought that was awesome. Is Alicia still going to be able to make me a picture frame for my picture? I can't wait to hang it...
Dan and Megan - should I be worried that my niece and nephew are so hooked on the fighting aspect of hockey? Hmmmmmm - better add that to the prayer list! Aunt Jayne
Dan, I kinda had no part in that whole frame thing. I can ask her if you want but you need to work things out with her.
Love Megan
