I agree with this 100%. It's a danger to the opponent and for many guys in the league, they use it as a shield to protect themselves. I've seen Cory Perry push his down to protect more of his face. If you start a fight with a visor, then you should get a severe penalty and fine. Thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted February 6, 2009 How does he feel about huggers and wrestlers? The league should make rules which make it harder for guys like Laraque to employ boring fight strategies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take turns smacking the s*** out of each other until someone yields. esteef Edited February 6, 2009 by esteef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's much more appealing seeing women doing that kind of style than men. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shoreline Report post Posted February 6, 2009 He's exactly right. Guys with a visor should take it off or sit the rest of the game. Guys who make a habit out of it should be suspended a game each time after a certain amount of times. The unfair advantage they have while wearing a visor is ridiculous. Also, the refs shouldn't let them fight. Break up any fight that has an idiot wearing a visor and another one not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you start a fight with a visor, then you should get a severe penalty and fine. Thoughts? i guess my question to this is: a fight takes two. what about the other guy? obviously the argument for keeping helmets on in a fight in the whole smacking-your-skull-on-the-ice thing. that being said, if i'm Guy A and Guy B wants to start a fight, do i not have the choice of saying, "Guy B is wearing a visor; i don't want to fight him." if all the Guy A's around the league go public with these sentiments, anyone who wants to be a legit fighter will be shamed into not wearing a visor, hence lowering the danger. *shrug* or so it seems. Just keep Semin out of that fight, hate to see him get injured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted February 7, 2009 You have a visor shield, take it off for the fight IMO. Not because of safety but because of unfair advantage. And if the whole helmet goes off, yeah there are issues with possibly getting concussions from falling/slipping, etc., but there's also risks of skates to the face, getting dented with a puck, getting injured many ways outside of fights/normal play, could go on and on. Where do you draw the line? I don't daydream of fights but it'd be a shame if it gets curbed down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
