"When somebody gets hurt in a hockey fight, people who've never dropped a glove in their life always get more worked up about it than the people who have.

So Colten Teubert could only roll his eyes and shrug his shoulders when informed of the cyber-bleating that followed his Sunday night fight with Vancouver's Adam Polasek.

"That's just people looking into things too much," he said Monday afternoon. "It's always going to be a part of the game and I don't see why there's any issue about it being in a prospects game."

Teubert himself won't be in any more prospects games here — he'll sit out the last two with a freshly-broken nose — but has no regrets about the scrap that cut his Young Stars Tournament short.

"I opened myself up and he got me on the bell, that's basically it," said the 6-foot-4, 198 pound defenceman, who got caught square on the button by the 6-foot-3, 200 pound Polasek. "It happens. It just comes from being a competitive hockey player. Everybody has to do different things to be a good hockey player and that's just part of my game.

"You're going to win some fights and you're going to lose some fights, it's part of the game. That's why I love the game and that's why all the fans love this game."
