Funny that the C was the least concerned about the initial fight (the L and T at least run in to try and stop things from escalating) but he is the one who is most involved with separating players during the fight.

I would have to agree. I have never been involved in something like this (knock on wood). The C's reaction to what is right in front of him seems awful slow, and any lacks situational awareness to what is happening. Hind sight is 20/20, but a quick whistle and a close down immediately might have kept this form escalating like it did. Videos like this are hard to watch, but a great training tool for everyone. It's easy to think this will never happen to you, until it does. I have to imagine after watching this he regrets not being more proactive.
