Well, it certainly wasn't a planned-in-advance one, and now, almost too little too late as the damage has been done.
For all the moaning/groaning, being appaled and wishing by some that it would go away, the fact is, fighting and intimidation of fighting still holds a section of this league. The responses from the players (both in this incident and the TO/BUF fight issues (which are mild when you look at 80's fights)), makes it clear that its very much top of the mind when ####e hit the fan, even though its not PC to be discussed as openly any more.
Very surprised the Oilers didn't have a guy like this in preseason...IIRC each season under McT when he was coach they had a few different mouth breathers in training camp and at least one would make the full time roster, in addition to Stortini.
