Some things are the same regardless of borders.
I saw an interesting play in an AHL game I went to on Sunday. Visiting team
B2 throws an elbow that gets called by the referee. Just after the whistle,
A19 comes in and shoves B2 and they get in each other's face.
The zebras get everyone separated and assess a minor for elbowing to B2, and then a minor to B2 and A19 for unsportsmanlike conduct. B2, another visiting player and A19 are all sent to the sin bin and the home team is on the powerplay. Home team scores on the power play and everyone is released from the penalty box.
I get that B2 is released after the goal but I would have thought that the two serving the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties would have stayed. Obviously I need to read up on the rules a little more.
