Backes dropped his gloves and started punching Hyman in the face, Hyman was trying to get away from him. Gardiner held him gently to stop his player from being jumped. Chara comes in and punches Gardiner in the face and gives him another shot and Gardiner runs away. He was called for roughing, which he did not commit. They didn't give them majors, which is the only time you can call 3rd man in. If they did give them majors and wanted to call Gardiner 3rd man in. They should have given Backes a fighting major, 2 min for instigating and a game misconduct, while Hyman gets a roughing call. While still giving Chara a minor for roughing. That call was wetaded.
I saw backes jump Hyman, gardiner come in to hymans defense by grabbing backes’ arms and then defenseless hyman who was trying to get away all of a sudden when he had an oppurtunity to flee as he wanted started hitting backes while gardiner was holding backes. Now the refs didn’t call a fight they called roughing and doubled up backes as he was the instigator of a non fight which negates any technical 3rd man in call. But they likely didn’t appreciate what gardiner did in that scuffle so they matched them all up. Did you see something else? The b’s didn’t get a powerplay out of this exchange anyway
