While you were watching, I was playing. There are some instances where the player simply doesn't have enough time. If you screw around with your helmet, your opponent can catch you off-guard and fuck you up.
On the flip-side, I will admit there are some players who hide behind the visor when it comes to fighting. Pretty tough call for a ref to make, whether or not the player deserves an unsportsmanlike penalty.
I am 40 years old.......have been watching hockey since the LA Kings wore purple and gold.......and I say it is a COWARDLY move to not remove the visor......the rules need to be changed to add at LEAST a 2 minute unsporstmanlike conduct for not removing it during an altercation.
these two were teammates for a little while in dallas, weren't they?

What r you talking about, have you never seen Iginla drop the helmet every chance he gets when he fights?

Boucher fights MAYBE three times a year, so calling him a pussy is pointless. Get after a guy like Iginla, that little bitch hides behind that visor

Sutherby would have killed him if he took the visor off.

Agreed, but there was no time to do that..

I see your point.... it is somewhat situational to a degree.
