Hopefully it will be a wake up call for Nesbitt that he is more valuable on the ice as oppossed to the penalty box or press box. Fortunately it is not an overly critical time in the season.

It looked to me like he didn`t even want to go, the other guy dropped the gloves and started pounding away. What else could he do ?

Vellaris was throwing while Nesbitt still had his stick and gloves in hand so... maybe no suspension?
There should not be. I mean what would anyone do if someone started punching away at you. He did not instigate a fight or mutually engage in a fight, he simply defended himself .

The OHL "instigator" rule application has always been odd to me. It SHOULD be used for situations like this, where one player is clearly more interested than the other. If you're still holding your stick and gloves when the other guy starts throwing, it's pretty clear. However, it tends to get used for fights that come after injuries, even if the players square off and all that equal stuff. I want to believe the OHL won't suspend Nesbitt but I'm not sold on that.
