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.

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