      <description type="html">


&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Dropping the Gloves: Week 3 (or is it really week 4)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, you read the title right. Best fight of the season thus far and possibly of all time. Guess who. Yup, it's &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54782/Brad_Staubitz&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Brad Staubitz&lt;/a&gt;. He's at it again after &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xTtkozOvdg&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;absolutely destroying Jordin Tootoo&lt;/a&gt;. That fight earned him nicknames such as Stabby/Stauby, Tootoo destroyer, or even 'Bitz. The verb &quot;Staubitzed&quot; became widely popular after the legendary fight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;(Commence Drum-roll) And here is this very awesome fight (Brad Staubitz vs. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55451/Eric_Boulton&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Eric Boulton&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height=&quot;344&quot; width=&quot;425&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/xMZ9yBQ1-dg&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x006699&amp;amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;amp;hd=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/xMZ9yBQ1-dg&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;hd=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; height=&quot;344&quot; width=&quot;425&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That was an amazing fight!! To bad you couldn't really tell from the video though, because they only showed the end of it. I'll describe it to you as best as I can. Staubitz laid a hit on a Thrasher, and Boulton didn't like that. He asked Staubitz if he wanted to fight and Staubitz happily replied, &quot;YES PLEASE!&quot; At this point the camera's weren't on them anymore. Boulton actually pulled out a gun on Staubitz. Staubitz responded by doing a round-house kick and his skate cut the gun in half. Staubitz then chased Boulton around the ice several times until Boulton jumped over the glass into the stands trying to run away. Staubitz takes off his skate, and tries to hit Boulton Happy Gilmore style, but since this game was in Atlanta the fans were on Boulton's side. A fan gave&amp;nbsp; Boulton a shovel and he promptly hit the skate out of Staubitz's hand. He swung at shovel and Staubitz, but Staubitz broke it with his fist. Boulton got so scared he fainted. I guess you could consider it a KO. After that the refs broke it up. When climbing back over the glass Boulton trips and Staubitz falls on top of him. And at that point the camera was back on them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Brad Staubitz gets the WIN in this one. This was such an epic fight. So epic I actually used the word &quot;epic.&quot; These kinds of fights happen so rarely. It's too bad they didn't get it on camera though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;********************************************************************************************************************************&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oooh what now? Another fight? Yep this one was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54747/Frazer_McLaren&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Frazer McLaren&lt;/a&gt; for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/SJS&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Sharks&lt;/a&gt;. Baby Sharks that is HAHAHAHAHAHA (dang I'm hilarious).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height=&quot;344&quot; width=&quot;425&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/I4HHtYvi2F0&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;amp;color2=0x999999&amp;amp;hd=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/I4HHtYvi2F0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;hd=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; height=&quot;344&quot; width=&quot;425&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hey lookits! Frazer can beat up guys in the AHL too!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;************************************************************Update!*********************************************************&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the game against the Flyers, Jody Shelley fought with Ian Laperriere:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height=&quot;340&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/DmvBAik3eIk&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x006699&amp;amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;amp;hd=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/DmvBAik3eIk&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;hd=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; height=&quot;340&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before the fight, Jody gives Mike Richards a little bump to the shoulder. Ian (not spelling out his last name)didn't like it and challenged Jody. Jody got a few good right's in and took Ian's helmet off. Jody threw a few more punches to the back of Ian's head, and brought him down to the ground. Jody wins! Not that special of a fight though, entertainment wise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So that's it for Dropping the Gloves... BYE&lt;/p&gt;

      <description type="html">


&lt;p&gt;In week 2 of the NHL season, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/SJS&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;San Jose Sharks&lt;/a&gt; were involved in two fights. Did anyone else think that sentence sounded funny? It's like saying Manny Pacquiao was involved in a fight. It's hockey, fighting's okay!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Monday the Sharks played the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/PHO&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Coyotes&lt;/a&gt;. I forgot what the score was. I don't think it's worth looking up either. Yesterday, the 17th the Sharks played the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/NYI&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Islanders&lt;/a&gt;. They won 4-1. There were fights in both games.&lt;/p&gt;


  
&lt;p&gt;First up! &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54774/Jody_Shelley&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Jody Shelley&lt;/a&gt; vs. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/55401/Paul_Bissonnette&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Paul Bissonnette&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height=&quot;340&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/m0wg_foH2HY&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x006699&amp;amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;amp;hd=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/m0wg_foH2HY&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;hd=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; height=&quot;340&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fight takes place immediately after the face-off. The game score was 0-0. A snooze fest. Jody and Paul (first names, no way i'm spelling that dudes last name again) try to build some energy for their teams. They circle around each other and Paul makes the first move. They throw some punches and decide to &quot;fight like men.&quot; After that they thought it was dumb and decided to throw those &quot;sweater jabs.&quot; Jody got the worst of those jabs. He was caught off-balanced and fell. Paul gets the win here. Even though this wasn't a &quot;BOOM BIG PUNCH OVER HERE&quot; fight, Paul's punches were more effective then Jody's.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;********************************************************************************************************************************&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Second, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54766/Ryane_Clowe&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Ryane Clowe&lt;/a&gt; vs. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54152/Tim_Jackman&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Tim Jackman&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height=&quot;344&quot; width=&quot;425&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/bTozOiFfPOc&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x006699&amp;amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;amp;hd=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/bTozOiFfPOc&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;hd=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; height=&quot;344&quot; width=&quot;425&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, Patty has the puck and dumps it. Jackman bumps Patty in the shoulder. Joslin then bumps into Jackman. I believe Jackman then tried to bump into Ryane Clowe. Clowe said, &quot;Bumping into each other? Eff this, let's drop the gloves.&quot; They pair up and Clowe gets some early punches in. He struggles to get his right elbow pad loose and Jackman takes advantage to hit Clowe in the face. Clowe says, &quot;WHAT IS THIS?!! I CAN'T BE PUNCHED&quot; and he grabs control of the fight and drags Jackman around punching him. This was late in the game, so they were a bit tired and the refs broke it up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;********************************************************************************************************************************&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sooooo.... Serious poll time now. Yep you read it right SERIOUS poll. Dropping the Gloves doesn't get the most commentage so I was wondering, do you like it and do you think there should be one for every fight, or just for the really good ones.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description type="html">


&lt;p&gt;Wow, what a week for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/SJS&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Sharks&lt;/a&gt; hockey! Already 4 games into the season and there have been 7 fights.* Oh fun... &lt;br /&gt;Fighters for the Sharks included &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54774/Jody_Shelley&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Jody Shelley&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54414/Scott_Nichol&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Scott Nichol&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54766/Ryane_Clowe&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Ryane Clowe&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54747/Frazer_McLaren&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Frazer McLaren&lt;/a&gt;. Fighters from the other teams include some other dudes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Oh by the way Dropping the Gloves will have a different format this season (it'll have a format!). Instead of posting one after each few games or so I'll do a weekly one. This way Fanposts won't get clogged up and it'll be easier for me because I'm a busy guy, you know.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;*&lt;i&gt;This post was written prior to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/MIN&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Minnesota Wild&lt;/a&gt; game.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  In the second game of the season against the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/ANA&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Anaheim Ducks&lt;/a&gt;, Scott Nichol fought &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54463/Mike_Brown&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Mike Brown&lt;/a&gt;... twice! Not as great as one would think.
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogITjSfyW5I&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;first one&lt;/a&gt; was booooooring. Stoppage in play and the Sharks are chirpin' with the Ducks. No punches thrown, hugfest to the ground.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now the second one... was different. This one involved more people. Several people got penalties but only Nichol and Brown got fighting majors.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height=&quot;340&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/kp9dig9Gsew&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x006699&amp;amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;amp;hd=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/kp9dig9Gsew&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;hd=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; height=&quot;340&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Um, that one guy jumped on that one guy, then the other guy jumped on them and then they all fell. Okay... what I meant by that a scrum behind the net started when &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54763/Dan_Boyle&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Dan Boyle&lt;/a&gt; cross-checked &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54517/Todd_Marchant&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Todd Marchant&lt;/a&gt;. Duckies said, &quot;hey you're not supposed to do that.&quot; Nichol and Brown proceeded to pair up. Thanks to unfavorable camera work for Dropping the Gloves, we only see Nichol and Brown roll around on the ice. I give round 1 and 2 a draw.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Game 3 vs. the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/LOS&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Kings&lt;/a&gt;. Jody Shelley fights &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54577/Raitis_Ivanans&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Raitis Ivanans&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height=&quot;340&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/xSvu1nB7o7o&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x006699&amp;amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;amp;hd=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/xSvu1nB7o7o&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;hd=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; height=&quot;340&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;WOOOO Jody Shelley ROCKED Ivanans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Okay not really.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Staubitz makes a late hit on a icing play. Ivanans goes after him but Jody drops the gloves before Ivanans could damage Stauby. Jody got a good punch in when the fight was initiated but Ivanans got a tiny bit more in. The fight ends with Ivanans trying to arrest Jody but the refs break it up. Win- obviously Ivanans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Okay. Unsurprisingly Jody Shelley got some heat from this fight. Here are some reasons why you should like Jody for this fight. Imagine if Ivanans got to Stauby. That would be even worse. Jody told him &quot;Nooo please, not the kids. Take me.&quot; Did you guys see all those punches Jody took? He was still standing after them, he's one tough dude. Also a good amount of Ivanans punches hit Jody's helmet, so he probably hurt his hand... suck it Ivanans.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Second fight of the game: Ryane Clowe vs. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54559/Wayne_Simmonds&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Wayne Simmonds&lt;/a&gt;&lt;object height=&quot;340&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/MNl7Gjq9BZE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;hd=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/MNl7Gjq9BZE&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;hd=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; height=&quot;340&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The boys in Teal and the Queens start up some trouble near the blue line. Wayne proceeded to hug Clowe. Clowe completely shocked him when he threw two rights. Then they decided to hold on to each other... so graceful. Refs break it up. Draw. Edge to Ryane Clowe though. It's a draw because Clowe did nothing &quot;special&quot; to &quot;win&quot; the fight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Game 4 vs. the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/CLB&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Blue Jackets&lt;/a&gt;. Here's Ryane Clowe (again!) fighting &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/56136/Michael_Blunden&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Michael Blunden&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;object height=&quot;340&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/lxuCq3thAP4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;hd=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/lxuCq3thAP4&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;hd=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; height=&quot;340&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Before the fight starts, Clowe steps out of the penalty box. He was in the sin bin because he had a questionable hit, that the Blue Jackets obviously did not like. Blunden challenges Clowe. The fight starts off a bit slow. Clowe trying to throw'em but can't get loose. They fall but get right back up. That's when Clowe absolutely destroys Blunden. Clowe visibly hurts Blunden and the refs break it up. Win goes to Clowe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From this fight, you gotta give props to Blunden though. He stood up for his team and risked getting beat up (which he did). The part his teammates will remember is him standing up for his team.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Second fight of the game? Frazier McLaren vs. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54919/Derek_Dorsett&quot; class=&quot;sbn-auto-link&quot;&gt;Derek Dorsett&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height=&quot;340&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;movie&quot; value=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/81U5M1S8d7A&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;rel=0&amp;amp;color1=0x006699&amp;amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;amp;hd=1&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowFullScreen&quot; value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;&lt;param name=&quot;allowscriptaccess&quot; value=&quot;always&quot; /&gt;&lt;embed src=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/v/81U5M1S8d7A&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x006699&amp;color2=0x54abd6&amp;hd=1&quot; type=&quot;application/x-shockwave-flash&quot; allowfullscreen=&quot;true&quot; allowscriptaccess=&quot;always&quot; height=&quot;340&quot; width=&quot;560&quot;&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Those not familiar with Dorsett, he's an established fighter. So is Frazer McLaren but this was his first NHL fight. Fisticuffs start with both fighters struggling to throw punches, then both begin to become really REALLY off-balanced. Dorsett at one point was behind Frazer throwing punches. While all this happens Frazer struggles to get his right hand lose. Once he dose, everyone pauses to reflect on the moment. Frazer unleashes his power, and throws 6, 7 punches. All right on Dorsett's face. Refs break it up because they're tired. If you notice at the end of the fight Dorsett pats Frazer. You gotta love these guys and what they do. Win easily goes to Frazer McLaren.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So there you have it, weeks full of fights. And now for tonight's pointless poll... (they serve no use, but they're fun!)&lt;/p&gt;
  


 	&lt;fieldset class=&quot;poll-box&quot;&gt;
  &lt;legend&gt;Poll&lt;/legend&gt; 
  &lt;h5 class=&quot;poll-title&quot;&gt;When you read this recent Dropping the Gloves, you thought...&lt;/h5&gt;

      &lt;h5&gt;...Fights? Boooooring they don't belong in the NHL because they are soooo violent. They promote violence amongst children and cause danger for the average citizen. It is the cause of global warming and should be forbidden in the National Hockey League.&lt;/h5&gt;
