Nate Thompson vs Luke Schenn

Cameras get there as both guys are coming out of a mini scrum with gloves off. Schenn starts throwing lefts and lands about 10 straight while Thompson tries to get situated. Schenn throws a few more and Thompson falls to the ice.

[Big Mac 24]

Thompson seemed to hit Schenn at the whistle and wanted to get it going, Schenn obliged him and threw 10 straight lefts without answer.

Win Schenn

Nate Thompson should fight more often. We all know that he can go at it.

Waiting to see the clip.

Well that's what, 2 straight fights where Tampa's been embarassed?

[Pillager]

Looks like Thompson didn't know Schenn can throw lefts. Easy win Schenn.

[Flyers2001]

Easy win Schenn. Hope to see his brother go this year.

[BROKEN*ORBITAL]

Looked like another opponent for Luke Schenn who had no idea he was a lefty.

since when does thompson wear a visor?

win schenn, but he really needs to lose the visor when he fights. i know, i know, guys will say he doesn't have time and when he does like with abdelkader he will. schenn sticks up for teammates which is a good thing, but often times he is the one initiating the fight yet he rarely sheds his visor.

All Schenn in this one as Nate ordered the'ol knuckle sandwich!

Good to see the Leafs start the NewYear with a fight early, especially with Rosie and Orr sitting, Brown hurt, and Phaneuf being Phaneuf.

Just a bad night overall for the Lightning. When they finally get fed up and try to start something, Nate gets flurried to the ice. Boucher's rule of keeping the gloves on really hurts the Lightning sometimes, they just don't get enough practice in really fighting and it shows when they actually do fight. Malone and Downie have won a few fights this year but not only do they not do it enough, they aren't very good when they do drop em. Sigh.

Douche Phaneuf was trying to get Downie off his game early and it worked, Downie spent 20 minutes in the box.

Win Schenn.

You mention Thompson wearing a visor, then turn around and bash Schenn for fighting with his? Yea that makes sense. They BOTH initiated the fight with visors on.

This is just the way the new NHL is. It's lame, it sucks, it's bogus, but it's all we have now. Won't be long before Buttman gets rid of fighting all together, if he has his way. He wants it to be like the Olympics.

The one's I really hate are guys like Phaneuf, who play a tougher game and initiate fights but always wear a visor and almost never take it off. This fight was spontaneous and obviously one guy wasn't worried about throwing punches while the other one clearly was. Not hard to figure out which one was which.

did i really 'bash' schenn? i just pointed out that i have only seen him take off his visor one time even though he is usually the guy starting the fight. instead of bitching about equal treatment for both players why not try and argue that he doesn't keep his visor on most of the time. because it's true?
this fight they both had visors at the start, but thats not what i was referring to. often times his opponent doesn't have one and he keeps his on. care to argue against taht fact?
i also just asked when thompson started wearing a visor, because he, unlike schenn, actually has more than one fight without plexiglass covering his face. when guys on other teams fight with visors they get dogged. i guess schenn is immune to such criticism?
