Patrick Kaleta destroys Oliver Lauridsen in fight
Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Oliver Lauridsen may be 6’6″ 220 lbs, but his size certainly didn’t help him against Buffalo Sabres pest Patrick Kaleta (6’1″ 200 lbs).  Kaleta threw a ton of heavy punches early and often in this bout and Lauridsen never even got a chance to throw anything noteworthy.  Kaleta is one of of the most-hated players in the league for his constantÂ...
