Might want to add Duclair to that list too, which really sucks.
Totally forgot about Duke. Yes him too

For what he did to Connor Murphy here? Louis making an appearance, too....as does Martinook. Didn't go well for the Pirates.Mixed emotions as I have a long-standing irrational hatred of Tye.

Why the hell did the officials let extra players from the other team on the ice? That's some bull****. They're lucky that didn't clear both benches.
Ah, at the very least hopefully the players who left the bench got in some serious serious trouble, along with the coach. That could've gotten way worse.AHL uses the 3-official system. With the linesmen having to be close and ready to jump in during a fight, the lone referee is observing the fight. No one's really able to keep an eye on the benches in that case (the problem being exacerbated by Portland's arena having benches on opposite sides of the ice. Still though, even if the officials are at least keeping an eye on the bench, if a player really wants to leave the bench to join a fight, it's hard to stop him.

Nothing for the coach or organization? It doesn't seem to happen often at the NHL level so I guess it works as is.In the NHL, the first to leave the bench during an altercation incurs an automatic 10-game suspension. It's probably the same/similar in the AHL.

Interesting thanks.I don't know the rest of the specifics. I'd imagine there's a fine for the coach or organization involved too. The second player to leave the bench also gets an automatic 5-game suspension. Plus there's the whole part where starting a second (or third, or further) fight when there's one already going on is supposedly an automatic game misconduct. Theoretically that would mean a bench-clearing brawl ends the game by default, and the entire roster of both teams gets suspended for one game. In practice, the NHL defines most of what goes on between the players who leave the bench as not "fights" so they don't get the game misconduct. In practice it's true, most of those who get off the bench past the first few just grab a guy and there's maybe a little pushing and shoving, but that's it.
Nah that would be a rational reason . My irrational hatred is mostly reserved for everything that was the post deadline travesty that was the 14-15 Coyotes.
Also wow that looks like an absolute blast.

Maybe send Leighton to Vegas for free?
On the one hand, that does sound like Chayka/Barroway. The kid may make great trades but he has zero idea how to treat people.
On the other, Louis seems to have a penchant for whining a lot.
Just not smart when you have a roster full of young players. We have an inexperienced GM, Coach and Owner. They need to bring someone into management that has a better idea how to run a professional sports organization.
There were already 3 goalies in Tucson. You need to act like an idiot to be told to go home like that. Teams have a right to tell you go home, I don't see how that's shocking.
Domingue was and is a whiny headcase. He's always been that way going back to his Portland and Springfield AHL days. I'm surprised the organisation took this long to figure it out and jettison him. Honestly I think his days of playing pro in north america are done. Don't be surprised to see him in Europe or the KHL next year.
Leighton was listed as a healthy scratch with the Coyotes today. Don’t think he’s actually with the team though.
Maybe they just loan him to an AHL team needing a goalie. Or deal him for a conditional 7th.
