Barely into the 3rd period, Bill Guerin got smacked from behind by Ryan Getzlaf, then again as he got back to the skates. Guerin and Getzlaf stayed near each other, and then the gloves came flying.
Getzlaf got some weak head shots in before Guerin caught him in a headlock, which pulled off his helmet. Getzlaf went for a shot that was blocked by Guerin, and then the two went down to the ice. I'm not quite sure if Getzlaf pulled Guerin or vice-versa, but it doesn't really matter. This one's a draw.
This is both Guerin and Getzlaf's first fight this season. Next up is Ottawa, who is tied for 4th in the NHL for fights, with 16. The Penguins are just behind them with 14, tied for 7th.

Billy G
He gets the win on the basis that the hulk version of Jacques Villeneuve started the fight, got in a head lock, and then was tackled.
Silly Jacques Villeneuve and his hulking ways.

Dang, I called it a draw, but good points! Plus Guerin is a good 15 years older than Getzlaf.
It was entertaining, especially since Eric Godard and George Parros held out on us.

I think Guerin could’ve done more damage if he wanted to. Maybe he was just being a nice guy and spared the “kid.”

Gary Roberts didn’t have to let you live.
It weighs 35 pounds - unless you're hoisting it above your head.

Just after...
Stiegy says, “Getzlaf only 24.” He turns to show the huge bald spot on his head…

I noticed that too. That’s unfortunate.

I gave it to Billy G.
39 year old man. Guerin tackled him, but grappling that last swing and twisting him down, that’s how an old guy whoops your ass kid.
