msweet Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 http://www.nhl.com/i...s.htm?id=522095 NEWARK, N.J. -- Hockey fans at the Prudential Center on Saturday night were not only treated to some exciting end-to-end action, but they also witnessed an epic fight. Just 5:58 into the first period, Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond of the New Jersey Devilsand St. Louis Blues forward Cam Janssen went toe-to-toe in a marathon slugfest that could very well go down in NHL annals as one of the longest fights in history. "We wanted to get the crowd into it -- I wasn't done and he wasn't done and I wanted to get the boys riled up and going," Janssen said. "That's the way it is sometimes. We like to go long, that's our style." Leblond (6-foot-2, 215 pounds) and Janssen (6-0, 215), who spent two seasons with the Devils before being traded to St. Louis in February 2008, rolled up their sleeves right off a draw just outside the Blues' blue line and near their players' bench. Leblond was able to land a few right hands that kept Janssen off balance, but he was never able to knock his opponent down. Janssen's knees did buckle a few times and his helmet eventually popped off before Leblond finally took him to the ice, but both players skated off the ice to a standing ovation. ---------------------------- I forgot to post on this after the St Louis game.... after PL3's assist vs Toronto and after watching his last few fights I have a question" Why is Peters still on this team?

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 That P3l fight was his best so far. He landed some really good shots. I agree there is totaly no need for andrew peters. He must really be a nice guy because that seems to be the only posative thing he seems to bring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaneykoIsGod Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I've always been a huge Cam fan .... but now my allegiance lies squarely with the man with three L-names. Epic fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nyrsuck26 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 That was easily the best fight I've ever seen in person, if not ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 PL3 for sure made Cam look... well I guess tough in the sense he wouldn't go down, but I was going to say ineffectual. Dark guys always look like asskickers to start with - and you could see P's mean face - you just can't match that with blond sandy features -- Cam never stood a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95Crash Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 What an entertaining and very close fight! I wonder if maybe Cam decided beforehand that he was gonna put on a show for us Devils fans as a gesture of thanks -- for all the support we gave him when he was a Devil.

That is awesome.2:05 - These guys are still throwing big shots. Sean Avery would have turtled three weeks ago. 2:15 - You can tell the guys in the TV truck are out of interesting camera angles when they go to the camera directly above the fighters. Can't say I've seen that angle before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils1985 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Love Pierre, proud to say we had him first, as a Titan no less before the Devils came to town. People didn't mess with Pierre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It almost seems as if Janssen is saying, "Yeah, I'm not going away anytime soon." To which Letourneau-Leblond responds, "Here's a fist for your face."

Devils1985 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hahaha. Pierre had a fight down here where the guy dropped and before the linesmen could get in Pierre pulled the guy up and laid a few more on him. Another time he was so riled up after a fight he ripped his jersey in half (we use the old style/materials down here as well). Lastly a couple of years ago we had been rag dolled around by Elmira, and the next time they came in Pierre was down - specifically for that game. "I hear you have problem with Elmira. I fix problem" was the comment he gave to the guy who picked him up at the airport. Elmira didn't try anything that night. At all. Yep. Love Pierre.

Prior to now, he's just been alright with the big club. Aside from his name he wasn't really anything special, but he also wasn't a detractor (see: Peters, Andrew). But after this fight against Cam and with how well he did against Jody Shelley ... it's on! The occasional #22 LEBLOND jerseys will probably start popping up soon.

Think is was against Reading, he dropped the guy stood him back up and laid in to him again. Priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I hear you have problem with Elmira. I fix problem" was the comment he gave to the guy who picked him up at the airport. I remember that story. For anyone else, that would have resulted in a permanent nickname of "The Fixer". But the dude's got enough names as it is, another nickname would just complicate things.

Devils1985 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Yup. For those who don't know, Elmira is coached by a guy (Steve Martinson) who likes bringing in cheap shot artists who don't like to stand up and take their medicine; and they didn't really want to mess with PL3. Unfortunately Martinson is a sucessful coach (made the playoffs all 13 seasons at the AA level, only once didn't make it past the first round, 5 titles...makes you wonder why he's still at the low minor league level eh?) Said it before, if Pierre can control the stupid penalties, he can contribute. He's begun to do that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
