Pointing out the obvious to Coyote fans, but maybe others will wander in the hockey forum and learn something.

His fight on sat. night was a thing of beauty.

His fight on sat. night was a thing of beauty.

That is exactly what brought those lyrics into my head while I was sitting there.

He just threw his gloves down, took off his helmet and waited for the other guy (who was four inches taller)...then pounded him. It was awesome.

From hockeyfights.com:

Mar 11, 2006 Anaheim Mighty Ducks Corey Perry
3pd 04:42 Phoenix Coyotes Keith Ballard

Comments: Derek Morris challenges Perry along the boards and players quickly step in and separate the two. Away from the action, Ballard and Perry talk a little bit before dropping the gloves, shedding the helmets, and squaring off. Perry grabs on as both players miss with overhand rights. Ballard switches hands and throws three lefts that come up short as Perry is able to turn his head away from the punches. Perry comes back with a right before he loses his balance and goes down to a knee. Perry slips again and Ballard throws two lefts that knock Perry back down to the ice. Perry gets back up as Ballard lands two rights and then Perry misses over the top with a right hook while the two spin around. Ballard grabs Perry by his jersey and throws him to the ice and the linesmen quickly rush in. Other Penalties: Derek Morris and Todd Fedoruk each received an unsportsmanlike conduct.

Voted winner: Keith Ballard (92.5%) - Voted rating: 5.1
