I was so confused. Bellmare dropped his gloves and then Bogo dropped his after and took the fight with Gio.

Lineman had Bellemare wrapped up after Bogo had the flippers off. That was my second hearing lol.
If you watch the video, he actually doesn't. Bellmare is wrapped up before Bogo drops the gloves.

Either way my main point is I think because they weren't actively fighting and the linesman had Bellmare out of the situation they probably let it go as a "spirit of the rule" kind of thing. It's not like Bogo started throwing punches while Gio was tied up with Bellemare.

The simple reason he's not getting a third man in penalty is that the "first fight" hadn't actually started and Gio was ready for the change in combatants. They both were lining up to fight each other when the linesman got involved and Bogo stepped up. Gio was clearly ready for him and they squared up.

If Bogo had jumped Gio when he wasn't looking or not ready it would have been different.

Probably because Toronto's injured enough Tampa defensemen already that they can't afford to have more of them out

A lot of threads lately involving Toronto and crying over non-penalties
Nobody forced you to open this link, read the contents and comment.

And yet you did.

Cute.

Also, as for the question:

The linesman didn't allow Giordano to fight 1 player and another one took his spot.
Why would Bogo get a 3rd man into a fight that only had 2 participants?

The math doesn't check out.

Probably thought getting beat up by a 40 year old was punishment enough.
