Orr, Purinton 2

Great tilt on Deadwood this week. Dority had no choice but to go with Captain Turner. Ask Georges Laraque, or Colton Orr if they would have backed down after being called out like Dan Dority was by Captain Turner. This scrap has been brewing for a long time. I am not sure if they ever fought in Junior or anything, but it was a heck of a fight.

It all started when Captain Turner called out Dority to Adams. It was like Brantt Myhres calling out Georges Laraque in preseason last year. Myhres went to the press about Laraque, and Laraque answered the bell. This time around, Dority had to get permission from Coach Swearengen before he could fight. Once he got the tap on the back from Coach, he hopped over the boards looking for his man.

After sizing each other up in the thoroughfare, the boys met in the middle. After an early lock up, Captain Turner got in a nice hard right hand. Dority tried to battle back, but Captain Turner played the fight well, and used Dority’s size against him. By keeping Dority off balance, and on the ice er, ground, Turner kept Dority from unleashing any hard punches. Dority did land a few, but I feel the early stages, and most of the fight was Captain Turner’s. When Captain Turner landed the headbutt, it then became an all bets are off tilt. Turner got Dority on the ground, and that’s when Dority went all Dale Purinton on his ass. With the most vicious eye gouge in the history of eye gouges, Dority turned the tide of the fight in his favor. While in the NHL, AHL, and any other league for that matter the eye gouge is a dishonest thing, in the 1800’s in the lawless Dakota Territory its fair game. Dority did what he had to do after being called out, and won the fight on some late round tricks. I’d like to see fights as spirited as this one was in the upcoming hockey season. Well, without the brutal murder at the end….
