Orpik declining Thorton's request to fight does not give him the grounds to do what he did or be able to justify it in any way.
I don't look at it as a heat of the moment, Thorton bolted down the ice when he saw the group of players together and IMMEDIATELY grabbed Orpik. He was gonna get some sucker punches in there either way.
He decided to go for Orpik before he even got there. If he didn't do something during that scuffle he would have done something at some point as the game progressed
