Should they have left the Minnesota fan alone?

Unless a fan comes at you, you never ever lay hands on a fan. This guy is going to get some shut-up money for nothing as far as I can see. They shouldn't have tossed him out but they came back in better seats then they left although they had better seats to start with than I ever have had. Uninvited contact is the definition of ault so Rypien is guilty of it. He'll have to take his lumps and move on. Lesson learned I hope. As for the BQ, it is too early for teams to be thinking big trade.
