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.

Oh I agree, I was just pointing out that's why last night was different than Bourque's situation.
In my world, last night Ference should have got the original 2 for roughing, 2 for instigating, 5 for fighting and a game. What he did was so over the top obvious that there's no way he should have been left in the game. He went after a guy that clearly didn't want to fight at all after a clean hit. No place for garbage like that in the game.
