Well what's he supposed to do at that point. The first punch he took was a direct shot to the face that bloodied him and took out teeth. If Stemps doesn't throw off his gloves at that point to tie up Ference I think it ends even worse than it did. He threw off his gloves at that point in self-defense but you could tell he had no desire to be fighting what-so-ever and the fact that the Refs let it go just adds to the joke that it was. The nhl needs, needs, needs to start handing out suspensions for fights like this.
