If the highlights I saw reflect the sequence of events, I suspect Thornton wouldn't have gone after Orpik in the scrum had Orpik answered Thornton's challenge to fight soon after the hit on Eriksson.

I hate the argument that a guy has to fight after a clean hit, but that doesn't change the fact that a fight probably would have prevented the eventual cheap shot.
