The Great One drops the gloves on December 22, 1982 versus the Minnesota North Star’s Neal Broten and loses a decisive battle. I’m glad that TSN brought this Gretzky highlight out of the archives! Enjoy.

Brent Burns Fights Jason Jaffray

Vancouver Canuck youngster, Jason Jaffray, got tangled up with Minnesota’s Brent Burns and took the worst of a beating from the Wild rearguard in a fight on December 5, 2008.  Jaffray certainly showed his lack of fighting  experience, having just one previous NHL fight (vs. Steve Staios), taking several solid shots to the head from Burns .

Apparently Burns, even though he has just four NHL fights under his belt, is no stranger to throwing fists – he practices jiu-jitsu in the off-season.
