A Week for Fighting

In the last two days, there has been reason to call this week the Fighters' Week.  On the heels of what was a notable All-Star Game, there has now been some notable fights, namely the goalie fight that saw Brent Johnson of the Pittsburgh Penguins level the New York Islanders' Rick DiPietro with a left (above).  Now, for the even worse news for Islanders fans: DiPietro is now out for 4-6 weeks due to injuries suffered in the fight. Again, I ask, can the Islanders ever catch a break?  And how's this for starting a game: three fights in the first four seconds of last night's Dallas Stars/Boston Bruins game.  Participating in the fights: Steve Ott, Krys Barch, and Brian Suterhby of the Dallas Stars and Gregory Campbell, Shawn Thornton, and Adam MacQuaid of the Bruins.  The week isn't over, and the Canucks and Blackhawks are playing each other tonight...hmmm....
