| Holy cow what a game! 5 fights in 30 seconds. I am like most fans I enjoy a good fight if it's for the right reason. I don't think that you should fight out of frustration or you want to. There was a late hit by Sutton on one of the Caps blueliners and someone took offense to it (Clymer) so he went over and gave him a what for. Then Brashear and Erskine came off the bench. Brashear went after Vishnevski (broken nose at the hands of Brashear). Then while Brashear and Erskine were beating the Thrashers handily Hedberg skated over to get in the mix. When Kolzig saw that he came over to have words with Hedberg (with the night Olie had I think he would have whupped him). Here's the ticker from the game, notice the times?
