The Fighting Irish. Colton Orr vs. Owen Nolan GigantORR 16. Plus Gaborik Sacrifices Body

The final installment of the Ranger Crisis only fight video compilation GigantORR is beamed onto your monitor as we close the books on former Ranger Colton Orr’s pugilistic exploits during the 2008-2009 campaign.

The final tussle shown in the series took place on March 24th, 2009 at MSG. Colton Orr engaged combat with a somewhat reluctant Owen Nolan of the Minnesota Wild, who eventually complies and does a good job of holding his own once things get down to brass tax.

The Mouth points out, that very rarely do you see a teams captain drop the mitts ever, so a tip of the proverbial cap has to go to Nolan who is no spring chicken at age 37 for taking on the much younger and more devastating Orr.

Colton takes care of business in this one but not without Nolan trying to even things up with a sneak attack while on his back. Nolan has always liked to take the odd advantage but Colton just laughed the futile attempt off.

The Mouth also treats us to some bonus footage as a crushing Marian Gaborik body check is shown that took place while Marian was a member of the Wild last year.

The recipient of the clean hit was the now retired ex-Ranger Markus Naslund. We surely don't need Gaborik to hit, we need him to score goals and more importantly Stay Healthy.
