 Bastian tried to break this dude’s hand with his face.

 

One of those fights that looks a lot worse for the "loser" at first glance than it really was, mostly because Bastian was never able to free himself enough to at least try to trade punches...lots of glancing blows/misses and not many real solid connections by Thompson...also lots of fist-to-helmet contact.  Thompson's knuckles are probably pretty sore today, heh heh.  I remember seeing some former fighters interviewed and a few of them said that was the toughest part of the job...when their knuckles were already a mess, with many fighters looming ahead on the schedule...so many punches thrown wind up hitting helmets.

Bastian has been trying to trade punches for a couple of years now, though…

Not saying he's a good fighter by any stretch.  All that can be said in his favor is that he could've taken a lot more abuse than he did.

Buffalo starting off hot. 

Canadiens starting off not.  Scary how bad they‘ve been.
