The King of Beasts?

His nickname should be “Leo,” then, perhaps?

Dear Boogey

Thanks for fighting. Sorry about the blown-up nose. Please try again.

P.S. You’re a really bad hockey player. Like, even-worse-than-your-average-enforcer bad. Manute Bol-on-skates bad, even.

[By the way, there is a poll and naturally “I’m offended” post at Hockey Wilderness, in which as evidence of Cam Janssen’s blemished track record they trot out … the time when Carey Price rushed for a 50/50 puck at the sideboards and got plowed over by Janssen. Of all the events on his record to try to make Cam look bad, chasing a puck he had every right to is not one I’d choose. But seeing your one-trick goon’s nose bloodied gets a fan in a huff, I guess.]

They seem to be hung up on the fact

Kinger skated out to center ice at the start of the fight. Given the fact there was a scrum in the corner already Kinger might have wanted to get clear of all the bodies for this rematch. It’s one reason the players and linesmen clear out gloves and sticks so the fighters are not tripping over anything.

The other misconception Buddha is pushing over there is Kinger only caught Boogaard with one lucky right. A simple review of the tape shows at 0:44 Kinger drills Boogey with a wicked right driving him backwards and staggering him. To Boogeys’s credit he keeps firing back. At 0:48 Kinger again clocks Boogey with a nasty right which may be the one that turned on the nose blood faucet

People that claim Boogey won or had the edge claim he controlled the fight and threw more punches that connected. Again, reviewing the video shows the only real punches Boogee landed was the helmet spinning right, wanna guess who that hurt the most? He also landed a decent right right after that. The rest were glancing blows that Kinger deftly avoided.

Boogey did most of the pushing and steering in the fight so if you call that control then yeah, he controlled most of the fight.

I guess it’s all comes down to how you score a fight. How effective are helmet blows? Dude goes to the locker room for facial repairs and doesn’t return counts how much? Whacking a dude hard twice on the button counts for how much?

I know one thing, I’m glad I’m not Boogey and have to sneeze right now. That shit’s gonna hurt for a couple daze.

you can fire a million bullets

but a nuke is gonna do more damage.

Did I ever tell you about the time Brasky was in a production of The King and I? Well anyway, before the show, Brasky chloroforms the entire cast, and slowly eats them in front of the audience for two hours. The production got pretty good reviews.

I guess it all comes down to how you score a fight.

Which is where it gets really surreal, in my book. Fighting already has a bizarre tangential-yet-intertwined place in hockey, but when they start scoring fights like a bout while ignoring the bigger picture, they lose me.

Even the Minnesota beatwriter wrote it up that way:

Then Boogaard fought DJ King. Boogaard won the fight – including a sweet punch that sent King’s helmet spinning to the ice like a top – but never returned to the ice. No word on his injury.
Woo! Helmet spun off! Special effects! Explosions! The only reason to bother fighting a circus freak like Boogaard is to keep him from doing stupid things to your teammates (alas, ironically removing Boogaard from the game makes the Wild less likely to give up goals). Punching him to the point that he can’t return to knee and pillage your team? I’m thinking King won the encounter.

26

The number of rotations of King’s helmet when it lifted off his head like a flying saucer.

A rare helmet spin-a-rama.

Boogaard likely to sit out

With ass wooped like symtoms such as busted face and a deeply bruised ego.

I like

How clipping the top of someones helmet and making it come off is the entire fight. All those goons who punch someone square in the face and break the other guys nose are doing it all wrong.

He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.

this is what I posted at Hockey Wilderness
All I want to know is

do alot of fans bring plush penises to the game?? Quite humorous actually, is this something you can buy at the souvenir stands?

Who won the fight depends on if you judge by number of punches landed or punches that did the most damage. King-no blood and returned to the game. Booger—lots of stitches, broken nose and didn’t return to the game.

If one fighter lands lots of blows but the other lands one or two and knocks the guy out who wins the fight??

Yeah, Boogaard landed a lot of blows . . .

because he’s 6’7" and has a sizable reach advantage on just about everyone he fights . . . including King, who’s not a small guy himself. And King got him GOOD.

I’m all about quality more than quantity. Unless you’re Kelly Chase . . . who would throw lots of quality punches in succession a LOT.

Here was my reply to you and to BReynolds

The guy next to the Blues penalty box…for some reason, he was dressed in a banana costume later on in the game.

And I have to admit, BReynolds is right. Why do you jump to so many conclusions as to the extent of the damage suffered by Boogaard. Apparently according to him, all it takes to knock Boogaard out of a game is a little bloody nose.

by k10patel on Mar 15, 2010 6:07 PM CDT up reply actions  

The simple act

Im pretty sure it was announced that the reason Boogaard didnt come back was the trainer setting and stitching his nose during the game. The simple act of drawing that much blood and having him not play another minute is its own conclusion though isnt it?

He raged at the world, at his family, at his life. But mostly he just raged.

A couple of things RE: this picture...

1. If that’s what a guy who “wins” the fight looks like… no further comment necessary.

2. Those Wild third sweaters should be their primaries. I like ’em.

3. The redhead to the left of Boogaard’s head is relatively cute, but the chick holding a beer looks like the girlfriend of either Alvin, Simon or Theodore…
