Box updated… mostly: 280 PIM

They’ve finalized the box from today’s game, with 152 penalty minutes to Bridgeport and 128 to the Devils.

A game misconduct was added to Marc-Andre Cliche for a secondary altercation in the first brawl.

Same with Kevin Czuczman for the second brawl, and four players — Ben Holmstrom and Scott Mayfield for Bridgeport, and Nick Lappin and Reece Scarlett for the Devils — had their minors/misconducts upgraded to fighting majors/game misconducts for secondary altercations.

Everyone (players, at least) penalized in that first melee received a secondary-altercation game misconduct. Not clear what was considered the primary there. The teams were at full strength when that began, and they were again when the teams returned to the ice to (attempt to) finish the second, but right from the start to now, Bridgeport received three majors, and the Devils received two. Either the manpower was wrong or, still now, there’s a major missing. (Assume it’s Damon Severson, who was throwing rights at Parker Wotherspoon, and for whom it would have been his second fight and a game misconduct, but who was on the ice to end the game.)

Fascinating evening. Sorry I wasn’t there.
