Last Night We Saw Another Epic Hockey Fight Between Colton Orr and Deryk Engelland (Video)
You know that old joke that goes, “I went to a boxing match and a hockey game broke out”? Well, it’s obviously making fun of (or perhaps taking pride in) the tendency for hockey players to settle their differences with fisticuffs. However, it’s actually a little more true than casual observers realize. You see, hockey’s [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Engelland vs. Thorburn — 10/17/11
Going forward, we expect it will be tough for any of the NHL’s combatants to match the performance put forth by Cam Janssen and Brian McGrattan over the weekend.

Well it didn’t take long for some of the NHL’s enforcers to get back in the swing of things. While the superstars got to show off some of their skills during the All Star break, the enforcers were given the opportunity to head home and rest for the weekend, and it appears as though some [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night – Down Goes Pyatt – 12/20/10
I’m not sure what Taylor Pyatt was thinking when he dropped the gloves with Deryk Engelland, but he was probably regretting that decision after getting leveled by a stiff right hand from the Pens’ enforcer. Engelland has already taken down the likes of Colton Orr, Jody Shelley and Chris Neil, among others, and last night [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night – Colton Orr Gets KO’d – 10/13/10
If you conducted a poll among NHL players to find out who they thought the toughest enforcer in the league was, chances are Colton Orr would make the top three, if not number one. So anytime the Leafs’ tough guy gets knocked out, it is hard not to label is as the “Frozen Fisticuffs Fight [...]
