Vancouver Canucks forward Derek Dorsett was extremely upset after his fight with Chris Neil on Sunday, to say the least. It seemed like a relatively ordinary fight, until Neil threw two punches at Dorsett while he was down on the ice and linesmen were trying to break up the tilt.
Then after the cheap shots, Neil pandered to the crowd to try to get them excited and Dorsett snapped. He took off after Neil, who had his back to Dorsett, and a linesman was able to grab Dorsett and hold him off.
After the game, Dorsett had this to say regarding the incident:
“First period he asked me to fight and I tell him no I have a bad hand. He keeps coming after me and coming after me and finally I fight him. Pretty even fight and I fall down and he gets two punches in. The refs in there and it’s just uncalled for. Then he gives it the junior move and starts waving on their fans it’s just Chris Neil in a nutshell.”
