Aaron Asham Gets His Ass Whooped

Nathan Horton isn’t known for his fighting although according to one HockeyFights.com commenter he was a great fighter back in junior hockey. Nathan was trying to defend himself, not get the Panthers riled up and back in this game emotionally. George Richards explains how we do not want Nathan dropping the gloves often…

Being a big part of the offense, Florida’s offense suffers if he’s in the box for five minutes every night. But last night was OK. Game was out of reach, five minutes left. And it fired up the diehards who stuck it out.

Horton rides Jay Pandolfo along the boards, with Pandolfo’s head hitting the glass in between the player benches. Right off of the ensuing faceoff the Asham and Horton drop the gloves and grab ahold of each other at the blueline. Horton throws two rights while Asham gets himself situated. Horton grazes Asham with a straight right. Asham comes back with some rights to the helmet and body of Horton. Horton gets Asham bent over and gets in three rights. Asham answers with an overhand right. Horton responds with four answered rights, including an uppercut. Asham lands a short right and they wrestle up against the glass. They go back and forth with rights until Horton takes control and hammers Asham down to the ice.
