Blog posting 2

This article discusses the Edmonton Oilers recent road trip to New York where they faced off against the Rangers on Sunday November 14, 2010.The Toronto Sun discusses how a  fight/s broke out between Steve Maclntyre and Derek Boogaard not once but twice during the game. According to the article Steve Maclntyre lost the first fight to Derek Boogaard but came back during the second fight looking much better throwing sevral punches and gaining back his confidence. As a result, the rest of Oilers got fired up and they might as well since they were getting dominated on the score board. Other fights broke out including Oilers Theo Peckham, Zack Stortini and Colin Fraser.

I agree with the article mainly because I  personally saw the game and all the facts that were presented seem to be reliable and coherant with what took place during the game.

It is pretty easy to read without being distraced by flashing ads and commercials popping up.
