With the exception of Bieksa he is usually attacking a guy who has no interest in fighting and he has a habit of throwing punches when the other guy still has his gloves on and is trying to push him away.

5 fights in the last 5 years and only one against a guy that makes an extra Million or so because he fights. ie It is not like Ference is or was a fighter.
Take a
peak at Ference spanking Stillman in the 2004 SCF game 2. They were holding on at the of a scrum with 14 minutes left in the 3rd period with Tampa leading 3-0. Stillman makes the mistake of dropping his gloves, BUT unlike Stempniak hangs on enough to protect himself and comes out of it intact.
What a violent game it was in 2004... Simon cross checks a guy in the back in the middle of his slap shot wind-up.... then Tampa's Modin has the nerve to stand in the crease near Kipper and Clark buries him with flying cross check.
There was more hitting in that meaningless 30 seconds than the whole of the Flames 2012-13 season.
Someone does what Simon did would be looking at a multi-game suspension in 2014-15
Flames won the next game 3-0.
