Tom Kostopoulos vs Evgeny Artyukhin

whats the little hab thinking??while complainer bgl is nursing another groin injury??? the habs will continue to get beat up, arty all the way

No contest. Every time a Hab gets pounded, it's nice to watch.

For the visor haters, tell us all when Artyukin had a chance to remove his helmet.

I only give the Russian a 5 because anyone who claims to be or wants to be known as a tough guy should have guts enough to fight without a shield. What chance does the other guy ever have when he's punching plexiglass. Might as well punch the glass along the boards. An opponent should not have to face the additional step of ripping off a helmet before getting to it. Part of fighting is being able to take a punch and this just isn't present if the guys face is covered like Darth Vader. Anyone other than a usual "non-combatant" who does not remove a helmet with a shield before dropping the gloves is just a girly man, chicken crap, pussoi.

Anytime I can see a Montreal guy get his head handed to him ...

And TK got 2 for roughing, maybe he should get 10 and a head examination. The start looked like (as TK looked up at Artie) "hey there big fella, want to beat me senseless?"

Yeah, where is/was BGL? Oh yeah, he's not a hockey player ...

Another one bites the dust? Love these lightweight scrappers instigating fights with R2, then grabbing a seat on the ice.

I love how kostopoulos starts it with the jab and then Artyukhin just hands him his ass.

who the hell is this artyukhin kid??? and, memo to the greek - if you go after someone with a visor, get it off before you throw. win artyukhin

I will NEVER give a win to a guy who wears a visor!!!! Take it off you moron!

why does this f*ckin p*ssy continue to act like a big tuff guy goon and fight with his visor on?...notice his first move is to pull the opponents helmet off but he keeps his welders mask on...he has no balls and it makes me sick when guys fight with visors on..so even tho he won i call this a draw for him bein a c*nt..i bet if he could wear a suit of armor for his next fight he would...if u wanna throw hands be a man and lose the lid with the visor on it!!!!!!!!..and now i have to address somethin else, to sporr, listen buddy u sound like the kind of kid who sits in front of the mirror practicin martial arts moves u have seen in a movie and then tell everyone ur a lethal weapon and not to mess wit u..lol...what do u know about fightin...in response to ur idiot comment about "lockin up" well maybe if u dont have the balls to get busy witout the face mask then dont drop the gloves and lock up wit a guy...if u were a real hockey fan u would know that any respectable hockey guy, including gretzky and don cherry just to name a few, despise guys who fight with visors cuz they r p*ssies..im not sayin artyukhin cant fight im just sayin hes a b*tch for wearin a visor in all his fights!!!!

Kudos to Tom for going that beast....

Hey dumb dumb's with visor comments....When you drop the mitts and square off, The visors should be shed. When a guy punches you in the back of the head and instigates the fight...no need to shed the visor. Easy win Arty, with or without the shield.

hey adambruinsfan,, i don't remember what did lucic when laraque said him hello on the rink........lucic skated away?? like a big bad girl bruin?? happy new year!!!

I seen the fight like this Arty got 95 out of 100 points in the fight and TK got 5 minus the visor points which is 90 the fight turn's out to be a draw. I have yet to see a NHL tough guy wear a visor. TAKE THE VISOR OFF IF YOUR GOING TO BE A FIGHTER. The smallest guy on his team does not where a visor. Seems as though his 6'5" 245lbs frame needs more protection with the visor. Loses the visor and fight a heavyweight.

Do any of you so called hockey fight authorities ever watch a full game???
I bet all you do is watch the little clips on the site & aint got a fukking clue about anything else that goes on. While watching the clips you might want to pull your heads out of your A$$ES & open your eyes K*ntsoplos also had a visor on till it got ripped off his head, TOO BAD for him he couldn't reach Art's to do the same. Better yet maybe him & you whiny little bitches on here need to stay in the corner & have alittle suckfest with eachother. Make sure you take your shields off so you can get some in your eye.
