I made a friend in Columbus

I've been PM'ing back and forth with the Blue Jackets fan that posted the videos in the game day thread. Really nice guy. He went through and found some footage of the Peters-Dorsett fight and the Gerbe-Nash "fight". Big thanks to CBJfan28 on YouTube.

 

End of the Peters-Dorsett fight (total mismatch):

Wait, was Peters actually looking at his opponent? Probably because Dorsett is a middle-weight and by that point had turtled.

 

Nash-Gerbe "hugging it out" (did I say the other one was a mismatch; 6' 4" Nash vs. 5' 5" Gerbe):

I love that Gerbe has enough heart to face those odds in response to a hit on a teammate (Nash hit Butler shortly before.)

 

Not that exciting, especially after hearing RJ describe them, but fun none the less.

So is this going to be anything like the new TomWebster-PASabresfan relationship?

Depends on how much Bully Hill Sabres wine we have at dinner

According to Peters, I guess he said that he had tried losing weight the last few years to try and get faster, but it hurt his fighting, so this offseason he put on weight and tried to get back to what he was at before to improve his fighting
