Line brawl makes for short night for Dawson By Jon Kuiperij BEAVER SPORTS EDITOR Dan Dawson's latest return to the Air Canada Centre was a short-lived one. The reigning National Lacrosse League MVP and Boston Blazers captain was one of nine players tossed in the first period of Boston's 8-7 overtime loss to the Toronto Rock Friday in Toronto. Dawson earned his ejection 4:39 into the game after fighting Rock defenceman Pat McCready, one of four scraps during an early stoppage in play. Dawson's brother, Paul, had gotten into a spirited bout with Toronto captain Colin Doyle minutes earlier. Paul Dawson and Doyle were teammates on the Brampton Excelsiors during the Major Series Lacrosse season last summer. Once Doyle -- one of the Rock's top scorers -- got in the fight with Paul, Dan knew he would be targeted by Toronto. "I had to answer the bell," said Dan, who registered an assist before his early departure. "It's part of the game and I don't mind doing it." The part Dawson regrets is that his fight with McCready -- who he played with on the national team in 2007 -- occurred during a stoppage, resulting in his ejection. "It's disappointing. Obviously you don't get to play in front of family that often," said Dawson. "I got a lot of www. .com Depend on the largest VINCE TALOTTA / TORONTO STAR FIGHT NIGHT: Dan Dawson (foreground, in white) squares off with Toronto Rock defenceman Pat McCready Friday at the ACC. text messages and phone calls, everyone giving me a hard time that they came to see me play for four minutes. They expect that from Paul, but not from me." The loss to Toronto was Boston's second to the Rock in as many games this season. Dawson said the slow start is of real concern for the Blazers, who made the playoffs last year despite being an expansion team. "No doubt the guys are down," he said. "We didn't envision this to be the start for our season. You can feel sorry for yourself or you can use it as motivation. It's a real wakeup call for us. We don't want to be known as that sophomore slump team that happens in sports."
