Shane Hnidy vs Evgeny Artyukhin

Hnidy was game, but the reach was a big disadvantage. Plus, I think the visor played a big part here too. Artyukhin wins, but he needs to nut up and lose the lid. When you already have a reach advantage over most people, adding the visor is just plain chicken****.

arty with the only shots that connect, hnidy was doin a good job stayin away from arty's fists..looks like that was all he tried to do even

Guy of this size should take the visor down and fight like a man.
It is easy to pretend you're a hero if your opponent can't reach you and you wear a visor.
draw

draw, if the koivu brothers would fight i think it would be a very good scrap :D

Looks like Hnidy was the instigator here with the little gloved punch attempt when they were both down on the ice. Artyukhin with the win but it would be nice if the big Russian took the helmet off next time rather than adjust it! Better still, lose the visor permanently if you are going to scrap.

NHL should give an extra two for fighting with a visor. Win Hnidy

I will never vote for a player that wears a visor during a fight. Especially a player who is 6 feet and 5 inches in size.

SHERRIFF SHANE HNIDY

Get rid of the shield you big dope.

visors these days...

I say nice job hnidy the guy was bigger and you gave him a good fight but artyukhin has the size and reach

I thought I watching the slo mo replay.

On behalf of the FWVU (Fighting Without Visors Union), win for Hnidy.

Artyukhin seriously needs to get rid of the shield if he is gonna fight.With toronto last year and now he constantly adjusts his helmet,and he should be suspended if he keeps fighting with the shield.he's a joke.

If Artyukhin wants to be a fighter, he needs to be willing to lose the shield and take on guys his size. He won the fight, but come on....
