Yeah, but it might have been the right thing to do in this case. If the Leafs’ bench didn’t clearly see what happened and assumed Perry did something to Tavares that put him in that state, things could’ve gotten very ugly. Instead, he fought Foligno right away, got taken off the ice for a while, and by now the Leafs will have seen the replay and figured out that nothing untoward happened.

In a vacuum, a fight under those circumstances is silly, but if it helps ensure that the rest of the series will be hockey instead of UFC, I’ll take it.
