Maybe different understanding than you, to me jumping somebody is starting to fight someone who isn't ready, not literally jumping on their shoulders to try to pull them out of a fight. Bourque tried to separate Orr from that tiny euro guy who he just tried to knee on knee. At no point were any gloves dropped or punches thrown until Orr pulled a Carcillo.
Probably dumb to do it getting the gloves in the face of a knuckle dragger but if somebody "gets whats coming" out of it all Orr will have his knee blown out next game. He was gutless throughout and if he lands the knee on knee he attempted to throw he's suspended for at least 5.
