Peter Worrell's Fight Card
1. December 17th, 2003 vs. Matt Johnson
Minnesota Wild - 2:59 of the 2nd Period
Comments: Starts with them grabbing on, both throw
some short
rights, then they both throw one heavy shot and both seemed
to
connect, then they grapple some more, occasionally throwing
rights,
some connecting, but nothing damaging. After the linesmen
jump in,
Worrell throws a right with his elbow pad over his hand, then
recovers and pats Johnson on the shoulder, like he was
apologizing
for the late shot.
2. December 26th, 2003 vs. Steve McLaren
St. Louis Blues - 12:29 of the 1st Period
Comments: McLaren tries to spark his team by
challenging Worrell.
McLaren throw two short, quick lefts that connect. Both guys
grappling for position; McLaren lands a hard left to the jaw
of Worrell
that turns his head, followed by a strong right that landed
squarely.
Worrell seems happy to tie up at this point and the linesmen
break the
fight up.
3. January 8th, 2004 vs. Jim McKenzie
Nashville Predators - 5:02 of the 1st Period

tie up
right away, Downey getting inside. Worrell gets the helmet
off
quickly and throws three shots, two miss, one lands on the

Worrell.

they go!

both
grapple for a little while, Parker tries successfully to get
the helmet
off of Worrell, and Worrell quickly does the same to Parker.

exchange
words and let the linesmen come in.
7. January 21st, 2004 vs. Darcy Hordichuk
Florida Panthers - 7:58 of the 1st Period
Comments: Worrell runs a Panther and Hordi goes
straight after
him. Hordi is skating backwards facing Worrell as Worrell
just
stands there and smiles at Hordi. Finally Hordi just shakes
his gloves
and throws a right that connects. Worrell drops his gloves
and grabs
on. Worrell is trying to keep him at arms-length as they each
throw
a couple of rights that didn't connect. Hordi threw two lefts
underneath of Worrell's extended arm that looked to connect.
Worrell pulls Hordi's jersey over his head and snaps the
tie-down.
Hordi then loses his shoulder pads and pops Worrell with a
right to
the side of the head that stunned him and knocked him down.
8. February 12th, 2004 vs. Reed Low
St. Louis Blues - 2:53 of the 1st Period
Comments: Starts off the face-off. They drop the
gloves and grab on.
Each starts firing short punches. Worrell with the right and
Low with
the left. When they start throwing punches they each throw
about
four or five with nothing much doing damage. Some might have
landed, but they didn't do any damage. Worrell then locks Low
out
and throws three rights that don't seem to do much to Low,
they
might have caught face, but again, no damage. Low then tries
four
or five lefts, some hitting Worrell's head and shoulder area,
one hits
Worrell's cheek. After Low's flurry of lefts, Worrell tries
three short
rights, each comes up short. They're in a dance and Low
throws a
right uppercut that comes up short. They grapple a while and
Low
tries two rights that hit Worrell's back, or the back of his
head,
they then throw simultaneous rights. Low's knocks Worrell's
helmet
off. Worrell's right might have hit Low's cheek. After that
Worrell's
right seems to get caught in his jersey, so they grapple for
a while
and Low tries a right and a left. Both hit Worrell's back or
neck
area. Worrell then gets his right out of his sleeve again and
unleashes a right uppercut that looks to connect well. That
breaks
Low's grip on Worrell's right and Worrell then lands two hard
rights to the back of Low's head. The linesmen then come in
fast.
9. February 18th, 2004 vs. Georges Laraque
Edmonton Oilers - 4:55 of the 2nd Period
Comments: They go off the face-off and jockey for
position. Worrell
gives Laraque a bit of a ride around the ice as they
spin-cycle a little,
trying to get set up. Lots of noogies, Worrell got at least
three rights in
and Laraque answered with two possibly connecting, mostly
hitting
helmet. Fight ended by the Colorado bench, both still on
their feet.

off his gloves
and challenges Worrell. McAllister drops his
gloves and tries to
square off with Downey but Downey skates around
him to get to
Worrell. Worrell then sheds his gloves and Downey
gives him a
"bring it on" wave, and then pulls up his
sleeves. They begin to
circle and shadow box. They each try and grab on
a couple of
times and don't have any luck. Downey finally
tries a left that
connects to Worrell's right shoulder and Downey
then grabs onto

and hits
Downey's helmet. Downey comes back with a short

benches. They grab
on and Brookbank throws a couple that can't
reach. Worrell then
throws a right that goes behind Brookbank's head
as Brookbank
throws a left that connects. Brookbank's a bit
off-balance and

Calgary Flames - 11:04 of the 3rd Period
Comments: The next time Worrell is on the ice
with Oliwa after
Oliwa's goal, he flat out jumps him. He got in
maybe one right
before Oliwa hit the ice because of being
off-balance and then
threw about 4-5 while his was down. This was the
retaliation from
Oliwa screaming at the Avs bench after his goal.

game misconduct;
