Its fighting ability, not weight that matters in a scrap

have they pulled your voting rights at hockeyfights.com yet Nickhead?

Haha... yes Rypien is damn good.. Bieksa must not be.. especially since they are in the same "weight class"...

Nah, I dont vote or post there... too many idiots... I cant remember the last time I even logged in.. just view.. though I bet your mcb.. haha

Easy.. those sports are all about fighting... this is hockey.. just cause your big, doesnt mean you can fight... Rypien, Janssens, Asham, Tootoo, Barch, Carcillo and other top middle's do fight guys bigger than them... what makes them top middles, is cause they often kick their *** and hold their own against each other.. its not that unbelivable.. Domi did it for years.. hell with your classification, Hordichuk is a middle

Bieksa is not in a class with those guys... Just cause he can beat up Richards, Adams and Jacques means nothing compared to who the top middles go.. now if you want to talk skilled middles.. Bieksa is up there with Iginla et al.. though my personal preference would say Bieksa is the most overrated Canuck and skill is not part of his game

Stupid conversation anyways.. everybody knows nobody enjoyes fighting in the NHL and it should be banned

I think you need to check the card... Barch has fought Boogaard, Brashear, etc... Carcillo has gone Ivanans, Tootoo has gone Reed Low, Domi fought everyone, Asham has numerous heavies on his list such as Burnett, DeBrusk, Rupp, Dwyer and Neil.. they mostly fight each other, but dont complain when the big guys come calling.. Bieksa is not in the same class as these guys

Iginla vs Bieksa would be a great scrap... Iginla at least has guys like Boll, Lambert, Tootoo, Witt and McCarty on his card

Is Bieksa in the same class as the other guys?.. Nice detour though

Yeah everybody is afraid of the orangutan.. especially when he often waits to get agressive till the linesman get in there... slapshot baby.. hold me back.. hold me back.. but, I look tough.. lol
