The Booth, the whole Booth, and nothing but the Booth

When David Booth was acquired by the Vancouver Canucks earlier in the season, I endorsed the deal because of the goal scoring potential that he brought, as he was a 30-goal scorer for Florida.  Last night, you can add dropping the gloves to his job description.  Taking on Mark Olver of the Colorado Avalanche, Booth clearly won the fight.

Before you say anything about Olver being a small guy, remember that Olver dropped first and Booth also did not have to take the fight, as teammate Maxim Lapierre rushed in to protect Booth.  Though Booth has had injury issues in his career, he also didn't back down when challenged, though to be fair, Booth had challenged Olver earlier, as the commentating on the video gives an explanation for what led up to the fight.  The Canucks would go on to win 1-0 for the second straight game.
