Kyle Turris vs Kris Versteeg

I don't like the visor, but when you have guys that don't fight a lot, they are not going to be thinking about the visor. Also, you have fights that start spontaneously- no square off in other words- where there isn't much of a chance to get the visor/helmet off. It will be hard to fix this with a rule. If they fine people for fighting with a visor, it will have some of the same effects as the stupid instigator rule. The whole idea of fighting is that they are policing themselves. They yap at guys that are dirty players. They yap at the teammates of dirty players and then they fight. Let them yap at the guys that wear visors when they fight. Let them police this issue as well.

These guys are not fighters. They are not part of the visor wearing problem per se. OK fight at the end of a long chippy game. Edge Versteeg.

Two unknown visor-kittens try to scratch each others eyes out.
Announcer is bang on...fine ém.

Not much of a gfight.
Versteeg attacked but Turris was ready givcing back.
No winner.

Hard to tell if anything really landed...
Draw.
As for visors, you get a penalty if you instigate a fight wearing a visor, and I'm happy with that.
Yes, I'd rather they always took them off, but I think a rule or a fine for fighting with a visor would be going too far.
Maybe an extra 2 for fighting with a visor could work; maybe not so much.
Leave it how it is, I say.

i like the "if you fight with a visor you should be fined" coment. i agree.

can't believe the Coyotes let themselves get pushed around like that.

where is Carcillo in the garbage minutes? Think Versteeg would have done that to Carcillo?

didn't think so..

I normally agree with Eddie O but I'll disagree with this one. If a guy wants to wear a visor to protect himself against high sticks and pucks flying around that's fine. I'm definitely more old school and appreciate the guys who don't wear them but I can understand why some guys do. As far as the fighting part goes, if two guys square off then take the helmets off.

In this instance, Versteeg and Turris are just holding each other and then Turris takes a swipe. At that point, there's NO WAY they can take the time needed to take their helmets off as Versteeg's instinct is to start throwin' 'em.

Versteeg landed a couple nice shots. He gets the win.

As far as Carcillo being out there and whether or not Versteeg would have done that to him. That's comparing apples and oranges. Versteeg isn't a tough guy and doesn't pretend to be. Now if it was a goon going after Turris then you might be able to say something.

I saw Versteeg fight only once in the minors with Providence and he got killed. I'm giving this crap fight a draw. I don't agree with visors in the game at all. I think if you want to wear one stay in college and sport a cage. I'm still upset at the "new helmet rule" from the 70s.
Draw.

Not a very good fight.

guys these are two high skilled rookies that wear the visor for a reason also they are bot inexperienced fighters.

I hope Versteeg likes doing Herbies. $10 thousand dollars worth!!! :D Good to see some spirit at the end of a game though.

versteeg got some good ones in there

atta boy steegs drop the mitts and keep the points going rookie of the year

Versteeg throws the only punches that matter & leaves a crimson mask in his wake !

Turris should be carfull what he asks for....stick to scoring kid!

I hate how everyone steps in when It isnt the heavy weights... its their decision if they wanna fight let em fight...
