McGroarty stayed in the game and the other guy never returned.

Buchinger definitely hurt his hand pounding on Rutger’s head (looks like he got all helmet) - that will hurt.

If Rutger is in the AHL to find his game, he can strike one item off the list of possible attributes.

And he’s awfully good at hockey, while your guy will be playing in Sochi in five years, so maybe you don’t need to come in here bragging that your team won an AHL fight.

Are you the fun police? Nobody is trying to state Buchinger is a better hockey player or prospect. But I think it’s pretty clear he’s the better fighter

Fun police? You should keep track of the discussion. Unprompted this poster trolled McGroarty twice in the span of 5 hours for losing a fight. Seems clear what this was about.

Because he got fully rag dolled. He didn’t even throw a punch.

No offense to him but this kid is kind of a loser. He’s probably another season and a half away from being a viable NHL option and just got his face caved in by some jungle lifer.
Loser behavior is ripping for a kid for fighting, especially if he isn’t a true fighter. If anything, thats commendable and shows balls.

The other guy isn’t a fighter either. And if I remember correctly it was due to a hit McGroarty threw that Buchinger initiated the fight.
7 unanswered punches. At least throw a slap and get a little offense in, kid.
I’m being accused of trolling by the ultra troll. Maybe I should’ve posted a draft list so you could tear it apart… really he just ran the goalie and that’s what started the fight was a fair fight. He just lost.
Are you Rutger mcgroartys brother? Lol.
Dude obviously can’t fight (that’s us college hockey for ya) and it was a hilariously one sided beat down. Have some humour and laugh. Lopsided fights like that don’t come along too often.
Anyways, Rutger Definitely not as tough as he thinks he is. Too bad.

I'm sure he would've done so if the guy who beat him was drafted by the Coyotes, right?
And I'm sure Winnipeg fans would be so interested in tearing him down if he was drafted by the Stars, right?
Almost like people are trying to protect their self interest in what they've said against him.

Hurting the opponents fist with your face is a bit unconventional but whatever works.

I like McGroarty and wanted to trade for him, but he should never fight again, if that's the showing he's going to do.
For someone who does a lot of mock drafts and claims to be in the know about prospects, you know shockingly little about Michael Buchinger. This is literally his first year in the AHL, and he's a top six defenseman on one of the better teams in the AHL. I think he'll make it somewhere in the NHL, even if it isn't with us; offensive defensemen with his potential aren't exactly common.
Nobody's saying he's McGroarty's caliber, but he clearly won that fight, and is a lot better than you implied.
