Reminds me of the time 10 years or so ago I saw Bobby-Chad Mitchell fight Robin Gomez....they both took off their helmets first (of course this was before the WHL decided such conduct was evil) but instead of dropping it, Mitchell threw his into Gomez's face. Amazingly, he didn't get anything extra for that.....whereas Fistric is probably going to get a game or two suspension for last night's incident.

Fistric match
You don't see match penalties that often (thankfully) but here's an odd one from the NHL last night. Former Giants defenceman Mark Fistric was tagged with the match penalty for hitting Eric Nystrom with his own helmet during a fight. See the 1:15 or so mark of the video for a good slow-mo look at what happened.

That is very interesting.
For some reason I doubt Fistric intended to do that...looked like he didn't realize the helmet was still on his arm!
He got fined $2500 today. ????
