I'm against the staged fights, but this is the kind of garbage that can be eliminated if you know that you have to face the music. Look at Dillon...he gives him a look and says something when Hoffman should have been picking up his teeth.

That's an argument proponents of fighting in the game have been using for years despite the fact there's always been stick-work in the game. Hoffman was retaliating for a hit he didn't like in the moment. I don't think having a goon on the ice would have made a difference.
