Josh Anderson vs Jamie Benn.

Two heavyweights absolutely threw bombs. Short bout but spirited as heck. Here’s a gif for now until I find the full vid.

Who won? The fans and their teammates. Superb old-school tilt. Voted Benn just to even it up.

I love that Benn still drops the mitts from time to time, usually resulting in these frantic fights. He's never been about the hugging contests, but rather full-tile, fast haymakers. It's refreshing in a league that is trying to move away from that kind of behaviour.

Only downside is that if/when he starts a fight, it's usually because Dallas is trailing and he's trying to fire them up. Would much rather see him pop a few goals in and have the team win.

Totally agree with u Doc

Remember me the game vs the Blues 3 years ago...Jamie being targeted at the end of the first then 2 fights in the first 7 seconds of the second period (Roussel, Moen)
I definitely miss some Old Hockey
That said this year we have nobody to drop the mitts for our core players...weird in Dallas

I think Anderson landed the hardest punch of the fight. Close fight, but I would have to say edge Anderson.

Yeah... bit shocked with the results.

Takedown at the end doesn't earn Benn the W.

What an awesome fight. A draw, in my opinion. I'm sure that woke up both benches. Great stuff.

Jamie Benn you gotta love him. Tough as nails and highly skilled.

He's the closest thing to a modern day Cam Neely. He doesn't check the way Neely could but multi talented and boy can he fight.
