Wow what a fight. Nurse did extremely well against the 6'7 Hunter, and I'm glad he answered for his fight against Andersson. Even though Andersson initiated the fight, its good to see Nurse answer the bell for taking on a non-fighter.

 

[booyakasha]

Nurse clocked him a few...more punches connected, ..IMO decision goes to Nurse.

 

[McPuritania]

Looked like Smith stuck his fingers in Darnell's mouth. I'm sure that was accidental as he's trying to get a grip on the sweater.

Great scrap, love me some Nurse.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Was gonna say that this was a boring fight and then they just started to go! Nice fight. Like both of these players. I see a draw. Nurse couldn't really get anything going at first

Smith would've been unconscious if he didn't have his visor on. Looks like Nurse drilled him right in the plexiglass like 3 times.

 

[Studz]

Smith hiding behind a visor or he would be really messed up.

What's he supposed to do? Its an additional penalty if you take off your helmet. Blame the mandatory visor rule instead of Hunter.

yep, I remember Gazdic taking a bunch of crap about the visor / helmet last year when he has no choice in the matter. Refs will jump in right away if you take off your own helmet.

Good showing by Nurse. Smith couldn't seem to find paydirt once they actually got to trading. Fun scrap!

Unclip it?

Funny the first thing he does is rip Nurse's helmet off while he grabs him from behind, then hides behind his own, that's what I don't like.

To be fair to Smith, what are his options?

By the time they're getting to it he can either take it off himself and get an additional 2min, or he can lift his head up and offer Nurse his chin an penance. Neither are likely to happen.

 

[LMFAO]

Nurse is a beast, hopefully he his making the team this year.

Of course he's not gonna take off his own helmet, he grabbed his opponent from side/behind, ripped off his helmet, to make sure he had an advantage. Why would he then take off his helmet after he went through all that?

Really wish Nurse wouldn't fight plugs.. Great fight though.

 

[BigBen]

So this tells me that Hunter Smith is basically a useless player and has no role.

 

[dookers9]

Lol - I loved Hartley's expression afterward. "Umm, that's not what I had in mind when I put him in the lineup".

Pretty typical to have your big boys at home in games like this, have the likes of Ferland running around.

Great showing by Nurse. But he'll need to make sure the other aspects of his game are up to snuff if he's going to cut the grade.

 

[McAsuno]

Nurse won that. Great fight between both of them.

 

[McPuritania]

So some Flames fans seem to think that Darnell was clawing at Smith's face with his fingernails. I think that is sour grapes, and straight up nonsense. What do you guys think?

 

[Del Preston]

Nurse is an animal.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Nurse did more damage and landed the better shots IMO in spite of the fact that Hunter didn't lose his lid.

 

[wej20]

Are there any rules about removing your opponents lid?

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Wow what a fight. Nurse did extremely well against the 6'7 Hunter, and I'm glad he answered for his fight against Andersson. Even though Andersson initiated the fight, its good to see Nurse answer the bell for taking on a non-fighter.

Agreed, now I'm impressed. A real gamer.

Lids have been pissing me off, wish they let the Gallant move happen.

Even with the shield, he busted him open, that's one tough kid.
