Its not the wild west, but it is the NHL. You take a run like that at a top player on a team, you best expect they will be looking for your number next shift out. Hockey is hockey.
You drop the gloves there and the problem gets solved, you let the refs police the game the tension just gets added up and uglier things can happen.
Let the players police themselves in these incidents, drop the gloves, do your 5 mins and the game goes on.
That's just how Orpik is, he'll throw his weight around, but when it comes down to it, hes not dropping gloves.

I hate that it turned into two groups, fighters and players. preferred the days when players would fight.

...the hit by Orpik was legal...
...would he be trying these stunts if he knew he was going to get punched in the face after?
im at a total loss trying to decipher your point...
simple question: why should orpik or anyone else have to defend himself against a vigilante attack because he delivered a legal hit?...
toews is a great player, tough, a guy to be admired...but...he plays in a fashion that places himself at a certain risk...
in this case he got nailed...
the response you advocate, frontier justice, is exactly the kind of moronic logic that gave us the 'gift' of watching todd bertuzzi criminally attack and assault steve moore and end moore's career (and this after moore and had already answered one challenge that night and fought due to his hit on markus naslund in a previous game)...
in that case of course you're right about one thing...it was the last time moore ever tried that stunt

as a courtesy to you I watched the video again...
nothing wrong with the hit; good clean hockey play...
it's unfortunate toews was injured but when you're skating in the offensive zone with your chin on your chest you're going to pay a price

Orpiks reputation proceeds him, I think that is the case here. He wouldn't defend himself after what he did to Eriksson earlier this year and that's why there's this argument.
You throw your weight around enough, someone will call your card. This is the NHL.
But this is self-explanatory. Look what team Orpik plays for. LMAO
