Why? He stepped in to take the faceoff in order to "protect the rookie" against Westgarth, but then refused to fight, only to jump Smid while leaving the rookie to fight Westgarth anyways!
He accomplished absolutely nothing, and I still maintain it was due to a defenceman stepping in to take the faceoff that ultimately triggered the whole brawl. Had he not, I think it would have just been McGrattan / Sestitio going.
