i like how murray took his helmet off considering he was wearing a visor. I saw a couple people in the preseason who were fighting and not taking their damn visors off.

Hey Laperriere - take your helmet off you *****.

Not a great fight, but I gave the edge to Murray. Lappy jumped him before he could get his gloves off and then ended up just trying to pull Murray down on top of him. Didn't seem to want to really get into it.

Murray always takes off his lid if he can. Stand up guy.

Murray's a big boy! Gotta give Laperriere credit...Biggest balls in the NHL!

Murray wins.

I think all fighters should ditch their helmets like Murray, or else you're going to end up like Darcy Tucker and get a game misconduct because you ripped off your opponents helmet and it got stuck on your hand while you leveled him.

Murray uses a great 'stiff arm' to keep Laperriere away and land enough blows to win

Draw, but huge points for Murray for taking off the helmet with visor before throwing.

Too close to pick a winner

Weak bout right there. Ian Laperriere is a ***** in my opinion. He never does any real damage in any of his fights. Doug Murray wasn't looking too good either. Definitely a draw.
