When Simon Despres decided to fight with Evander Kane, I didn't think it was the best idea. He held his own, but I can't say I think the results would be the same if the fight were to happen on multiple occasions.

The fight started as a result of Marc-Andre Fleury taking a shot at Mark Scheifele

Reasons why Simon Despres is a maniac:

1. Evander Kane has destroyed Matt Cooke in a fight before

2. He took his helmet off to fight Kane

3. Through all of this (before getting hit pretty good), he was smiling and laughing at Evander Kane

I think fighting is dumb, but a trade off of Simon Despres for Evander Kane for 5+ minutes, i will never complain about that.
