#4 Donald Brashear vs. Danny Bois

This fight took place on Dec. 6, 2006 in a home game for the Washington Capitals against the Ottawa Senators. It was Alex Ovechkin’s second season in the league. With the Caps holding a 2-1 lead in the second period, the Caps were threatening and then things escalated.

“Danny Bois has picked a pretty tough customer in Donald Brashear,” you can hear the broadcast say.

This was a contest the Caps went on to win 6-2 with a variety of familiar names contributing to the scoresheet. Matt Bradley and Chris Clark scored in the first period. After the Senators got on the board in the second and the fight happened, the Caps answered with Clark’s second goal of the game.

The Send got one back in the third before the Caps closed it out with three unanswered goals. Two of them came on the power play from Alexander Semin and Matt Pettinger. Brooks Laich closed it out.

Before there was Tom Wilson there was Donald Brashear though Wilson is a tad better of a goal scorer. Imagine if Brashear was still on the Caps today as the team takes on the Rangers on opening night. That would add more fuel for sure.
