Has there ever been an example of team mates trying to hold back a player(s) from a scrum or fight?

[Bjornar Moxnes]

I know refs do it all the time. But have actual team mates go "It's not worth it" and try to calm a player down and ensure he doesn't get into a scrum or fight?

Yeah definitely happens sometimes
Maybe they don't want that player to get sent off or get injured or think it's worth it

Dudes jump in to tie a guy up so stars don’t fight- feels like I’m seeing more and more of that. Tkachuk was banged up to start the year and I think a teammate got in the midst of his scrum, if I’m remembering right.

There isn’t much time to talk, so jumping in seems the more common tactic.

Couturier not long ago had a brain fart and wanted to go against the sherrif lucky for him one of his team mate thought it was a stupid idea.

More often than you think.

Not a player, but the Blues' head athletic trainer Ray Barile stopped David Backes from trying to get involved in a scrum. It was right after Brent Seabrook knocked him out with a dirty hit to the head in the playoffs. Barile, and to a lesser extent Steen, were holding him back. Meanwhile, Duncan Keith was mocking an injured Backes as he was stumbling to the ice, having just been unconcious.
