Mayers Makes A Statement
Posted by TheHockeyGuy on February 12th, 2010
The knuckles — especially on his right hand — tell quite a tale for Jamal Mayers.
They’re all scraped up and covered with cuts.
Chunks of skin are missing.
The wounds which only come from dropping the gloves and hitting an opponent’s helmet — or melon — are easy to spot.
“Occupational hazard,” Mayers said without even needing to look at his hands.
The Flames lead the NHL in fighting majors this season with 64 — 10 more than the Anaheim Ducks, who were No. 2 on that list prior to Wednesday’s play.
The first thought would be that trading away Brandon Prust would have cut down the club’s fighting majors. Prust, now a member of the New York Rangers, has dropped the gloves 21 times this season.
However, Mayers is keeping the Flames quota of fighting majors alive and well.
In five games since coming west from the Toronto Maple Leafs, Mayers has fought three times. The rash of tussles has him at 11 this season.
