Rink KOs

A trio of rink knockouts...

The first is an early contender for fight of the year, courtesy of the Washington Capitals' John Erskine and the Atlanta Thrashers' Eric Boulton. These boys are swinging for home runs.


While you catch your breath, the Kings knocked New York Islanders coach Scott Gordon out of a job, after a 5-1 victory that earned my boys a record setting 8-0 home start. The Isles began the year at 4-2-1, but a 10 game skid has them tied with Edmonton for the fewest points (11) in the league. Gordon went 64-94-23 in his tenure with the team, who has condemned promoted Jack Capuano from their AHL affiliate to interim coach.

And finally, a team effort from the aforementioned Edmonton Oilers and New York Rangers, who had an epic melee that resulted in over 120 penalty minutes and four game misconducts.
