Nick Bailen throws down

[DWhite21]

I just found this video of a fight Nick Bailen got into last year in the USHL. I'd give him the decision even though the other kid got in a few good shots. The kid he is fighting is actually Doug Maclean's son, Clark Maclean. Just incase you aren't a Bluejackets fan, Maclean used to be the GM of the NHL's Bluejackets and coached the Florida Panthers to the finals in '96.

Is it wrong to root for a kid to get beat up because of your hatred of his dad?

dont know what time in the game that was, but it looks like they booted him...that is just wrong...2 min...
Id say he clearly won that fight.

Haha I hated Doug Maclean back when he was the GM of the Jackets too. I guess I need somebody to blame for the the fact that my favorite team never came close to the playoffs during Dougy Mac's 5+ year tenure as GM. I actually played against Clark back in bantams. He was always a big trash talker and seemed to be pretty cocky. After a game where we beat his team he shot the puck into our bench after the final buzzer and got suspended. Smart kid, eh?

Bailen and Ruel both had 4 fights a piece last year. Fighting is one thing I wish they had in 2A. It would toughen up these kids for the next level, this is still an issue that makes 2A less of a league than the CHL.
