Tales of the Tape: Atlanta Thrashers 1/6/09, Ruslan Fedotenko vs. Colby Armstrong

Being as this is a site for the Penguins, I customarily put the Penguins' rep in a fight first in the headline as well as the poll.  I have to say that it felt a little odd typing "vs. Colby Armstrong."  Not a big one, but check it out anyway.


It started off normally, with Fedotenko missing with the left hand, but as Colby moved in, Fedotenko got a hold of his right arm and jacked him in the face with his own right, sending him down to the ice.  Watch that a couple times - it's pretty sick.  Colby quickly regained his composure, and as Fedotenko came down on him (obviously not expecting him to go down) Colby turned around and hit him on the ice while the linesmen got in between them (uncool).  The fight is clearly a Fedotenko win - I cannot fathom anyone giving this one to Armstrong.

Apparently, Fedotenko left the ice afterwards, so check the game recap out for that.

one punch knockdown….nice!

Armstrong wouldn’t have got anything had the ref not come in and knocked Fedetenko off of him, so this one’s an easy call.

Who voted for Armstrong just to blow JD’s mind?

It was probably him. That crazy Dunman – always making a scene.

Not a chance. I loved Colby when he was with us, but I couldn’t warrant voting for him.

It did remind me of this classic, though:

Let's go Pens!

Honestly, I thought Fedotenko hit him with two punches – one initially, then one on the way down.

That and it hit me to look for it just before I posted it there.

Let's go Pens!

Fedotenko can down as many people as he wants with one punch. I’m all for it.

Let's go Pens!

I bet I could find panels from this era of JLA for almost any situation. I’m nerdy like that.

Let's go Pens!
