Here’s the second of two fights between Washington’s Brandon Sugden and the Rangers’ enforcer du jour Donald Brashear. I have an appreciation for dudes that can hang into a fight for a minute or more, and this one fits the bill.
The first fight was quick, leaving the fans wanting more – and more is exactly what they got. The second bout was a long one. Sugden started off strong, but Brash was able to gain control, ending the fight strong with a mix of grappling and punches in a mess of jerseys.
Brashear skated off to cheers, the loudest he’s received at MSG so far. His hit on Blair Betts is close to being forgiven. via.
I’m trying to give hockey a fair shake this fall. That and every other sport that Kobe Bryant doesn’t play. also.
