David Koci vs Colton Orr, Hockey Fight, Sep 25, 2008, Video. This is great. I am not going to pretend that I know much about hockey, but I do like this video. It is hot off the presses. This just happened Thursday. I love how the refs let them go at it till they hit [...]

From Damian Cristodero at Lightning Strikes: About 100 or so fans were there to meet the bus. As the players got off, the Czech natives (Vinny Prospal, Radim Vrbata and David Koci) were swarmed by kids seeking autographs and television and newspaper cameras. Vinny Lecavalier was treated as royalty as well. As he walked from the bus to the rink, at least six men snapping pictures walked backwards in...

I love it when I’m right. Jordan Hendry and Jack Skille have been called up for the upcoming road trip while Jacob Dowell will remain with the Rockford team. Also off the team is David Koci who was placed on waivers on Monday. I’m a little bit surprised by this move since Savard is looking for guys [...]

Brent Sopel is going to be playing in tonight's game. Is it more important that he’s out there or that Zyuzin and Johansson are not? It really doesn't matter. We could use a few forwards back in the lineup now. I’m a bit surprised that David Koci isn't in the lineup tonight. If Derek Boogaard is out [...]

From Dave Pollard at Hockey.com, Well, even goonery is going global these days. Although most of the league’s tough guys still hail from the frozen North, I’ve noticed a few Europeans creeping into the fistic fraternity. Chicago’s David Koci calls Prague, not Prince George, home. Raitis Ivanans hails from Riga, not Red Deer. Boston's man-mountain, Zdeno Chara, grew up, way up, in Trencin, not Thompson....

David Koci used the last month to do more than recover from a broken nose, he worked on his offensive skills. While no one will mistake the 6-foot-6-inch winger for scoring machine Patrick Kane, he believes he can contribute beyond his role as an enforcer.

Reinjures broken nose in bout with big Boston captain David Koci earned the admiration of teammates — and a trip to the injured list.

Today the Blackhawks recalled forward David Bolland from the Rockford Icehogs of the AHL. He takes David Koci’s place on the roster while he recovers from a broken nose. No defenseman was recalled in the wake of Zyuzin heading to the IR so apparently Dustin Byfuglien will not be joining the team after all. Since [...]

Please, enough about Hideki Okajim punching out 4 Rockies. Zdeno Cheno’s dismantling of Chicago’s David Koci won the former some serious pugilistic cred, even if the Garden was only half full for the occasion.

By popular request tonight, here’s the scrap in Boston featuring Zdeno Chara and David Koci. And while Koci’s face looks like he was in a car wreck after the fight, it's worth remembering he only broke his nose a few nights ago fighting Wade Belak, so that might be the primary cause of the mess. From Hockey Fights.com:

As a battered David Koci, Chicago's 6-foot-6-inch tough guy, slowly skated off with blood streaming down his face in the first period last night, Bruin Aaron Ward found himself doing something he hasn't done for quite some time.
