Anyone else watching this feel it was just wrong? Stempniak is a complete non-fighter, and he clearly did not want to fight AT ALL, was doing everything he could to avoid the fight. Ference didn't care, just beat the living **** out of him anyways, knocking out a bunch of teeth, possibly putting him on IR for awhile.
I'm cool with fighting when both guys are down, and when it's fairly evenly matched. But when you have a fighter just decide "I'm gonna beat the **** out of this little skill player no matter what he does," IMO that's wrong. A 2 minute penalty does not seem like justice.
