GMRwings1983 8,789 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 I say it's a draw, and most knowledgeable fight fans seem to agree. Hawks fans think Versteeg dominated the fight easily and cemented himself as the next Rick Rypien. Still, I never thought I'd see either of these players squareoff and fight.

Barrie 900 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Yea I'd say it was a draw. Edit: Just because someone falls on top, doesn't mean they won the fight. Eaves landed the better punches (3 in a row too). Edited January 17, 2010 by Barrie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 I got it as a draw. Eaves landed more punches and probably did more damage, but the blood skews things. Draw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LidsFan 68 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 I am proud of Eaves for holding his own. I like it when a player sticks up for himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mindfly Report post Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Versteeg will be a baldhead in 5years or so... haha This team is more respectful in the way that they stand up for themselfs, playing tougher and fights more... remember the soft 05-06 and 06-07 season, man was this team soft then...

Tommy_Like_Wingy 25 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 If I had to choose a winner I'd give it to Versteeg, otherwise this one was a wash and actually a pretty entertaining fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Howard He Do It?! Report post Posted January 17, 2010 That was a good, solid hockey fight and it was most definitely a draw. Both players landed good solid punches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carman 387 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 Damn good fight between two solid players. Nice to see these type of fights. I'd say it's a draw, Eaves looked like he landed better punches, but Versteeg drew blood and got the take down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wingnut40 176 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 I'd say a draw. I couldn't believe it was little Patrick Eaves fighting. He did pretty good. I love his face when he gets up from the ice. He's laughing while his face is bleeding! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TSD 10 Report post Posted January 17, 2010 I agree, most likely a draw. This is exactly what I want to see. So many "enforcer" lovers love enforcer fights. There is no heart and soul there, its almost staged. Now when two players like this go at it, makes for a very entertaining fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lidstromboli Report post Posted January 17, 2010 was this a canned fight or was he fighting versteeg for a reason? didn't get to see the first half of the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

newfy 695 Report post Posted January 18, 2010 great fight. I was at the game and there was such a long build up to this. They were kinda pushing eachother arnd a bit and you could see a slash here or there. Then they got lined up by eachother and it took forever to get the puck dropped but you could tell eaves wanted him bad. Patty was right in Versteegs ear and shaking his gloves, you could see it coming a mile away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Howard He Do It?! Report post Posted January 18, 2010 better then may would have done!! May, more likely than not, is involved in the staged fights. This fight was true hatred and staged in no way. This was a great hockey fight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newfy 695 Report post Posted January 18, 2010 Eaves did really good considering Versteeg isnèt a stranger to dropping the gloves. In teh NHL he doesnèt fght as much but he's had a few seasons where he's had five or so fights. After today I wouldn't mind Eaves gonig a bit more with that impressive showing.

Tommy_Like_Wingy 25 Report post Posted January 18, 2010 If you check out some of the post game interviews both guys were laughing about it and said they just wanted to fight on national TV. Didn't really seem like any bad blood, just wanted to pump up the fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drinking early tonight? Hahah. Great fight and great passion from both players. We should sign Versteeg this coming summer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
