I am really struggling to understand this.

I think its everything that happen after Ryan came over and "fought" him. I highly doubt the kid meant to hurt him, and there's a good chance he didn't know about MacArthurs concussion issues. There's no need for Brassard and Neil to come over Ryan already has and for an assistant coach to tell him he needs to leave the bench? At some point someone has to step in a stand up for the kid a little bit even if it's just a "hey the kid ####ed up, he knows that, let's talk about as a team after scrimmage, but for now let's finish this scrimmage and refocus on our preseason games coming up."
