Nurse even gave Andersson an out, he should have taken it.
Not a fan of the showboating, but sometimes your emotions get to you.
A little backstory: Andersson and Nurse were chirping the whole game, and have played against each other for years in the OHL. It's clear Nurse gave him more than enough chances to back down.
His out was letting him going but laughing at him and face washing him, and the pounding was easy for him, then to show boat after beating a clear non fighter? If he beat up a proven guy, that's something to be pumped for. Hope Nurse fights a guy like... I don't know.. Jordin Tootoo, gets his lunch fed and then Jordin stands over him yelling, laughing and fist pumping.

Andersson was being chippy all game and Nurse challenged him to fight. he had two chances to get away but wanted to act like a tough guy. Nurse beat the hell out of him as a result.
Andersson is some random no name who will never be heard from against so stupidly tried to make a name for himself
As for the Smith incident. Why would Nurse want to fight a plug? he fought him in junior and won, why waste time on him. He was too busy wiping the floor with flames in actual play
congrats on beating up a non fighter

At :14 you can see Andersson come into the scrum from the blue line and go right up to Nurse and engage him...looks like he will rethink that next time.
I dont mind Nurse but he comes across as a punk bully. I'd like to see how he would fair against the likes of Engelland, McQuaid, Wilson, or Prout. Or if if is really ambitious, Gazdic or Peluso.
If stands up to the test he is the real deal, if he does not he is in the same category as Phaneuf for me.
