Besides, good riddance. AV is the only reason why Ryp is even in the league. He's a fearless fighter, but he's injury prone, has rumoured substance abuse problems, and can't do much else on the ice.

From the minute he got into that scrap with the Wild player to sucker punching him to being tossed around like a rag doll by the ref and then shoving henrik, he was definitely riled up and ready to snap at ANY altercation. The littlest thing would have set him off and so it wasn't him not being able to handle insults by fans but the fact that a fan said anything at all. He was basically seeking an excuse to fight someone.
Maybe he's on a pain-killer withdrawal or something 'cause he actually looked like he was gonna kill someone.
