If you don't like Rupp that's one thing, but I don't get what your problem is with this. Fighting in hockey as it should exist is to help deter players from taking liberties on the ice. Rupp watched one of his team's top players get sucker punched in the face, and he responded. That's textbook enforcing. It's not about proving himself to be tough, it's about doing his job, which he did to perfection.

In my personal opinion, if the Panthers felt strongly about what Del Zotto did as a cheapshot to one of their skill players, than I would have zero problem with someone going after Del Zotto. But I don't think that high-stick/cross-check was all THAT terrible, so I doubt the Panthers are harboring a grudge against him, they've moved onto Rupp for doing his job.
