Many of you asked for the video of last night's Minnesota Wild and Vancouver Canucks fights and , well thanks to hockeyfights.com, here they are.

We'll start with the best one, John Scott v. Alexandre Bolduc. What the hell was Bolduc thinking? One of the most lopsided fights I've ever seen.

As I've stated previously, Scott was waiting for someone all night. Someone (Bolduc or Rypien) took a shot at him early and skated away, and Scott was primed to unload. Then it's nice to hear Greenlay back me up on how thoroughly beaten Bolduc was, and stumbling off the ice and being helped down the tunnel.

Oh, and how classic is that shot at :50 with Boogaard and Scott together in the box?

Now Tanner Glass v. Shane Hnidy

And last but not least, the Derek Boogaard v. Darcy Hordichuk shirt pulling contest. The comedy value of this one is second to none. How Boogaard just pulls Hordichuck's sweater over his helmet and basically ties him into his own shirt is hilarious. Boogey just toyed with him.

Impressive boys. A beatdown on the scoreboard and on the ice

Do you get a penalty for the jersey not being tied down if your jersey rips completely to shreds?

Hordichuk got a 10 min misconduct for that one.

Russo says no

He got the 10 for going after Clutterbuck after the fight. The jersey not being tied down is a game misconduct, not a ten.

Oh seriously?

That’s what I thought too, but I just assumed I was remembering the penalty incorrectly. That’s a fucking joke then. Hordichuk did it intentionally to not get killed. He knew Boogaard holds the old-school code and once he pulled the sweater over, would stop the punching.

Agreed. Hordichuk was about to get killed.

Oh, you're talking about Glass?

No, he didn’t get an extra. That was ridiculous. He’s able to swing wildly with his arm out because the EDGE sweater is a piece of shit.

discretion on penalties regarding the jersey being tied down.

Terhar pulls out the Fedoruk call

At the end of the Scott fight he says “What was he thinking?”

Also great from that vid: Boogaard being all “Is that it, kiddo?” to Scott in the box.

Unanimous votes for Scott.

And rightfully so, he killed Bolduc. Crazy. I do love that shot of Boogey and Scott in the box, too. So funny.
