I only support calling instigator penalties when one guy jumps an unwilling opponent and hate seeing it get called when two guys agree to fight, even if one guy, god forbid, skates a few feet to issue the challenge.
However, Toews still got lucky regardless of when I think that penalty should be called, because the fact is instigators have been handed out for less than what he did. Still enjoy seeing that from the captain every once in a while.
