Some interesting comments on Hockeyfights .com regarding Mac`s fights with these two guys in last years NHL.....
2003-2004 Regular Season Fights: Against Opponent:
Oct 25, 2003 2pd 06:16 PIT NYI Eric Cairns
Comments: Cairns has words with Lemieux and McKenna comes over. They meet behind the net, along boards and are immediately tied up. Cairns has Mckenna in a headlock and is talking to the linesmen the whole time. Could be about the visor McKenna currently is sporting. They finally start swinging, McKenna a right and Cairns a left or two. Cairns goes to the right and now both guys are throwing right hands with some intent. They both land a couple of rights, and McKenna gets Cairns' jersey up. Linesmen come right in. McKenna did receive the unsportsmanlike conduct for instigating with a visor. Other Penalties: McKenna received an instigator, unsportsmanlike conduct and misconduct.
Nov 04, 2003 3pd 05:14 PIT TOR Wade Belak
Comments: They shove, and as the ref tries to control them, they pull away and Belak lands a nice right to McKenna's ear, then another over the top of McKenna's head, grazing him and getting him off balance. They both have two handfuls of jersey and are whipping each other around. Belak throws a right to McKenna's shoulder, then another that grazes Steve's head. They both throw rights that get tangled and miss. McKenna throws a big right that hits Belak's neck/helmet. McKenna's elbow pad is tangled in his hand as Belak tries two jerseyed lefts. McKenna lands a right to the back of Belak's head and Belak misses two overhand rights, but gets McKenna off-balance. Belak looks to land a decent uppercut, then one right to McKenna's shoulder that might have slid up to McKenna's face. Belak shoves off and McKenna goes to one knee and gets up. Belak slaps a couple of rights into his back, then McKenna open hands the back of Belak's head. Belak has his right ready and McKenna ducks down as Belak lands a right on the top of his head. McKenna grabs Belak's waist and the linesmen come in. Other Penalties: McKenna received a spearing major and game misconduct; Belak an instigator, misconduct and game misconduct.
Seems like SM has some history with both of these guys!!!They both sound like tough characters,but in the recent Eric Cairns interview he says that he doesn`t really want to keep fighting over here if he can help it and seems to want to leave it to Maxwell and Cornish.
We`ll see how true that is on the 12th won`t we??
