Eric Nystrom vs Mark Fistric

This ''Fishstick'' charecter is really making a name for himself.

If that's Bob Nystrom's son maybe Carcillo-Schultz could call his old man for some stache-grooming tips.

Draw, I can't give the fight to an idiot that does something like that, even if it against my least favorite team.

I think it is time for disqualification choice in the winner menu. Don't see that often, that's for sure. Best punch was with the helmet.

In the annals of bashing people with helmets, this one is pretty tame. Find Rick Tocchet vs. Dale Hunter clip if you want to see what an obvious "helmet used as blunt weapon" looks like. This could have been what it looks like, but just as easily could have been Fistric trying to get going and ditch the helmet in one motion.

I don;t think Fistric meant to get Nystrom with the helmet after he tore it off. I think it's a lame penalty to call "attempt to injurt". Maybe if Fistric hit him over and over. Fistric gets the decision here, with or without helmet. Nystrom wanted a fight, Fistric gave it to him.

LOL..now that was funny! Fistric looked like an old lady hitting someone over the head with her purse ! draw

Fistric just wailed on Nystrom after the wrestle, rabbit punch at the end.

be carefull what you ask for

yea he meant to pop him with the helmet. but fistric is not a dirty player, it was just an adrenaline thing. it happens. i've seen worse.

Before you run your typing fingers, do your homework and know your stuff.

Mark Fistric is a solid honest player, who scrapped a bit in junior but has not in the pros. He did not mean to beat Nystrom with the helmet and obviously thought he was flinging it off on the first throw.

His father Boris, on the other hand probably would have beat him with the helmet and as the saying goes "my Dad can beat up your Dad" and likely would have taken out Nystrom's, as tough as he was.
Check out his stats as he put up 400 pims a year in the 70's.

Bull****. Not that people have never seen it, bull**** they're longtime fans. Anyone who has watched hockey for at least 5 years saw Evgeni Artyukhin rip a guy's helmet off and beat him with it 3 or 4 times when he was a rookie with Tampa. It was all over the hockey websites. Couldn't have been missed if you were a fan.

damn! i think it was intentional. he will get suspended tho for sure. an another note i like eric nystrom. i wish he was on my team. hes one of the only good players on calgary

Bruise, are you serious? Dirty would be the last thing I call that, maybe if he hit him a few times with it. Young punks are so soft.

"Fistric with the helmet punch!"

Nystrom wanted the fight. got the fight. got beat with his own helmet. W Fistric
