Ketlo has told Greg Harder of the Regina Leader-Post that he regrets getting into the scrap. But it’s Ketlo’s explanation of what happened that is so funny. Here is what he told Harder:“I looked up and I saw (Lanigan) at the red line. I didn’t realize we had a penalty and he was just going for the extra attacker. I thought he wanted to go because everyone else was fighting so I skated out there. We talked after the game and realized we were both in the wrong. We both thought each other was calling (the other guy) out. If I could I’d go back and not fight obviously but what’s done is done. I had to pay my dues.”
