Date	Player	Player	Team	Description
Apr.01	Tucker	Avery	NYR	Our pest vs. theirs:  Both were yapping at each other as they lined up together before the puck dropped.  As soon as the puck hit the ice Tucker dropped his gloves and went at Avery, who looked like he was going to chicken out.  Avery ended up dropping his mitts and the fight started.  Avery got in a quick jab at the beginning, then Tucker landed a BOMB straight to Avery's head, sending his helmet flying off.  Then both started trading good rights, although Tucker was semi-protected by his helmet which somehow ended up in front of his face.  Avery landed a right to Tucker's armpit at the end and Tucker fell backwards to the ice.  Good fight by both... probably a draw, although that one shot but Tucker at the beginning was a hard one.
Mar.20	Belak	Janssen	NJ	Belak was the only one throwing the punches for the first part of the scrap, but Janssen started throwing back.  Unfortunately for Cam, Belak held him at arms length and Janssen had trouble connecting.  Janssen seemed to have more steam in him as the fight wore on, and Wade seemed tired, looking like his arms had turned to rubber, and eventually went down from sheer exhaustion at the end.  This fight had a lot of media hype leading up to it - because of the Janssen's dirty hit on Kaberle the last time these teams met (sending Kaberle out of the lineup with a concussion and Janssen out of the lineup with a suspension)
Mar.17	Tucker	Bouillon	Mtl	After the Leafs finished a rush, the whistle blew and both teams gathered in a scrum near the corner in the Montreal end.  Tucker and Bouillon managed to get paired off and broke away from the group throwing punches.  Both players were throwing lots of punches with little defense in this fight.  Bouillon had his face shield on most of the fight, but Tucker finally got it off at the end and got another shot in as the linesmen broke in, but Bouillon threw more punches during the fight.
Feb.10	Newbury	Petrovicky	Pit	Started off the puck drop for no apparent reason.  Both started throwing rights with no defense whatsoever, then Petrovicky landed one that stunned Newbury, another, then another that sent him down backwards to the ice.  The back of Newbury's head smacked hard on the ice when he fell, knocking him out cold (if not by the punch).
Feb.08	Newbury	Brookbank	Nsh	Newbury looked more in control during the fight.  Both had a hold on each other with one hand using the other to throw punches, but Brookbank managed to keep his helmet on, causing Newbury's punches to smash against it each time - ouch!  Newbury picked up Brookbank at the end and slammed him to the ice.  It's hard to watch someone bashing their hands against someone's hard helmet over and over!
Jan.30	Ponikarovsky	Tanabe	Car	Both threw a couple long ones at each other while they were spinning around then Ponikarovsky dragged Tanabe down.
Jan.20	Green	Talbot	Pit	These two went at it right after the puck dropped at the faceoff.  Yet again both players fell to the ice quickly.
Jan.20	Gill	Thoburn	Pit	Started in the corner.  Gill had a manhandle on Thorburn but both slipped to the ice shortly after it started.
Jan.20	McCabe	Thorburn	Pit	Both players fell to the ice as soon as they grabbed on to each other.   Hardly a roughing penalty.
Jan.18	Belak	Allen	Fla	Both players are the same size and were pretty evenly matched.  Short fight.  Allen landed a right towards the end, then Belak landed short hard rights dropping Allen to finish it.
Jan.11	Belak	Peters	Buf	Peters wanted to fire his team up as they were loosing to Toronto in the 3rd, at home.  Happened after the puck dropped and they squared off.  Belak had an arm free the whole fight and was throwing jabs with his left, and swinging with his right.  Peters helmet went off early but he tried to throw a few but was kept off balance by Belak for most of the fight.  At the end Peters guard was down for a split second and Belak landed a good shot right to his face, dropping Peters to the ice.
Jan.06	Ondrus	Mair	Buf	These two squared off and grabbed a hold of each other while twirling around wildly and throwing long rights.  None connected, until Mair threw a long right which Ondrus ducked, then came back quick while Mair was off balance from throwing the punch, and landed 2 lefts while Mair was being sent to the ice.
Jan.04	Bell	Donovan	Bos	In the game where Toronto beat Boston 10-2, the Bruins were looking for anything to get out their frustrations, so this fight started out of a scrum of 2 other players that were about to go.  Donovan looked to have position on Bell and got his jersey up, but Bell managed a quick right at the end which opened up a large gash on the nose of Donovan who left the ice bloodied.
Dec.29	Ondrus	Ruutu	Pit	Both players were swinging wildly and landing punches in this long fight.
Dec.23	Belak	Brashear	Wsh	Belak went with his lefts (Brashear is a lefty) and must have suprised Brashear.  Belak got some quick shots in at the beginning, then Brashear started grappling/hugging, and got some jabs in, as did Belak.  Belak was fighting with a handful of stitches between his eyes due to a stick in the face the night before.  Good fight for Belak.
	Tucker	Sutherby	Wsh	Tucker got a good left in at the beginning of the fight, then both started trading wild punches.  Sutherby looked to have landed more, but neither player looked worse for the wear (although Tucker might have had a bit of a bloody nose).
Dec.16	Belak	Orr	NYR	Belak was pretty aggressive in this one firing lots of shots and not letting Orr much chance to recover.  Started with a good uppercut to Orr's face causing his helmet to go flying off then Belak stayed in control.
Nov.30	Battaglia	Coburn	Atl	Happened after the Leafs drove to the Atlanta net.  Not much in the way of landed punches as both players had a good hold on to each other, but nice to see a non-fighter drop the gloves!
Nov.25	Tucker	Mara	Bos	Tucker was racing against 6'9" Chara for the puck and smashed the big guy into the boards knocking him down.  Then all the Bruins started swarming around Tucker, who threw a punch at one, then dropped the gloves and went at it with Mara.  Mara got some shots in then Tucker got control of him and wrestled Mara to the ice.
Nov.18	Belak	Janssen	NJ	This fight was all Janssen throwing at Belak who was just trying to hold on to both of Janssen's arms, but Janssen managed to get his jersey off (actually Belak pulled it off) and kept firing punches.  No harm done to Belak, but it would have been nice if he traded in some of the defense for some offense in this one.
Nov.05	Belak	Peters	Buf	Long fight but very sloppy.  Both players were holding each other at such a distance that neither could reach the other with their punches.
Oct.25	Tucker	Eaves	Ott	Tucker went into the boards to hit Eaves, after that went right after him and just started throwing punches.  Eaves quickly dropped his gloves and fought back, but Tucker got his arm free of his jersey and landed 2 or 3 solid shots to Eaves' jaw, buckeling his legs and sending him to the ice.  How Tucker didn't get an instigator is anyone's guess.  Pics here.
	Belak	McGrattan	Ott	Started right off the face-off.  Both were holding each other at a distance with McGrattan standing tall trying to throw overhand shots while Belak stayed low (almost Domi-like) going for uppercuts.  Neither player landed anything hard except for some helmet shots, but Belak got out of position at the end and McGrattan hit the back of Belak's helmet a few times as Belak slipped to the ice.  Pics here.
Oct.05	Belak	McGrattan	Ott	Started away from the play.  Neither player did anything wrong to the other to start it - they just wanted to scrap.  Both players had their punching arms cocked the entire fight, but were holding each other to far away to really connect.  Belak did some nice Domi-Jabs with the hand he was holding on to, but nothing serious.  A draw.  Pics here.
Sep.18	Ondrus	Thorburn	Buf	Not sure why this started but both were throwing some hard punches with a few landing.  Ondrus seemed to be in more control during the fight.  Thorburn left the ice bleeding from the forehead.  Pics below.
	Tucker	Mancari	Buf	Mancari was quite a bit larger than Tucker but Darcy held is own, with both players landing 1 hard punch.  Tucker ended up on top at the end, although that doesn't really say anything about the fight.  Pics below.
Sep.20	Ondrus	Maloney	Ott	Came about due to a hit along the boards.  Mostly scuffling.  Pics below.
	Newbury	Potulny	Ott	Newbury was in control during this fight throwing some hard but somewhat clumsy left hands.  Pics below.
Sep.27	Brown	McGrattan	Ott	Many were probably thinking before the fight that Brown was in big trouble here with McGrattan, but after a bit of waiting each other out, they both latched on and started throwing long punches.  Both landed some glancing blows, and both missed with some bigger bombs, but Brown managed to catch McGrattan's left eye, cutting him open.  Pics here.
	Gill	Neil	Ott	This started up along the boards after a whistle stopped the play.  Gill is much bigger than Neil, but Neil held in tight and managed to escape non worse for the wear, although there were a few seconds where Neil was being punched repeatedly in the back/side of the head by Gill.  Pics here.

Sep.18, 2006 - Tucker vs. Mancari
Mancari was quite a bit larger than Tucker but Darcy held is own, with both players landing 1 hard punch.  Tucker ended up on top at the end, although that doesn't really say anything about the fight.  Apparently the cut Tucker received was one he already had that re-opened during the fight.
