Top Hockey Fights of the Weekend

I guess I could write some more about how the Edmonton Oilers tossed a blogger out of their press box last week and how it might trigger the fall of Western Civilization as we know it, but that wouldn’t be nearly as much fun as deciding which bout was the best hockey fight of this past weekend.↵

↵Voters currently rate that fight at a 7.5, while they seem to overwhelmingly agree that Shelley was the winner. That’s quite a turnaround from last February, when Cote schooled Shelley last February in Philadelphia.↵
