That’s some weak instigator sauce there, Recker.

I remember this fight because a few weeks earlier, Belak did the same thing to Erskine. Jumped him and forced him into a fight he didn’t seem to want. John didn’t fight much at all this season (‘08-’09) because he got a nasty concussion the season prior against Godard. Well, that, and supposedly because Brash was supposed to be taking these types of fights.

And, of course, 2008-2009 was the last year we had Brash who was essentially done, even if the Rangers did sign him up for 2 years. Brash missed most of that spring after that fight with Wade Belak that left him injured.

Not to mention a lengthy suspension in the playoffs after blindsiding Blair Betts in Game 6 against the Rangers.
