Milan Lucic vs Luke Gazdic, Dec 12, 2013

This fight featured two heavyweights trading with intent. Down 3-1 and looking to spark his team in last week's Oilers–Bruins game, Edmonton newcomer Luke Gazdic challenged Boston power forward Milan Lucic to a scrap and found a willing combatant. They exchanged heavy punches from start to finish, seemingly looking to land a knockout punch at every turn. Gazdic landed two right haymakers in particular that could have crumbled a lesser fighter. Lucic landed several haymakers of his own, and mixed a couple of body punches into his attack, which Gazdic also absorbed. They finished the fight on their feet, further credit to how tough pound-for-pound these two really are.
