Mair came off bench, so suspension automatic

I want to know what happens when it's a bench clear - do the refs pay attention to who the first person to come off the bench is, and gives them a 10 game suspension??

Personally I don't think it should be an automatic 10 game suspension - each case should be reviewed individually.

That rule is lame. I WANT to see bench clearing brawls.

If they're good enough for baseball, then they're good enough for hockey.:D

Yeah and at least in hockey they really fight, unlike baseball were everyone just seems to hold hands during their supposed brawls. :rolleyes:
