The whole issue of whether this should be dealt with on ice / off ice thing is a smokescreen for me. If you believe someone has wronged you and you have the opportunity to gain some comeback for that I don't believe many people would turn that opportunity down. It is human nature.
Hey if Lordo had hit someone from behind or cheap shoted Hendo or a Clan player. Even just bumped or run Hendo then he's perfectly entitled to give Lordo a pasting. That is hockey. But when the whistle has gone and you skate over to deliberately give Lordo a shot a provoke a fight in relation that nothing that just happened during that opening shift. That's not being a hockey player. That's just being an undisciplined prat. Hendo could have the maximum justification in the world and I'd sympathise with him if that was the case but he still can't go out and start that fight.
