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.

Yeah fair enough....just actually felt bad for Perry at that moment because i think he was already feeling pretty bad about it all.
But true, if it avoids malicious retaliation, best get it done that way and immediately.
