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.

There should be no fight and no cheapshot.
The players on the ice should not be officials. The league will deal with Orpik if it were truly an offense.
