I will say that a bench-clearer that gets it over with is preferable to that braindead procession of line brawls with OTT-PHI three years ago. Dunno if you read the Boston Globe article that was linked in the comments of that thread, but there seems to be a growing sentiment that while cleaning things up was a good idea at the time, they've gone a little too far in that regard. Get rid of the goons, fine, but don't get rid of the frontier justice, which is nothing more than an outcropping of the emotion and physicality of the game. I have no problem killing third-man-in and the ejections for simultaneous "secondary" fights. I can’t contribute much to this discussion; you pretty much covered everything I wanted to say.
