Don't know if anyone has had a chance to read the Official Game Report from ech.com but here are the penalties of the fight after the game. Looks like tonight might be a litte rougher than last night if Starling is out for the BS call of game misconduct.

ROFL! "Abuse of Officials" That's classic. That HAS to mean at least a hefty fine. That dude was such an asshat going after chad for a solid 30 seconds while the ref was hanging on his jersey for dear life.. Kudos to the linesman for keeping him outta the Chad v Rory fight.
Nothing yet on any suspensions, I would think that it would come quickly, being players have a morning skate and all. I would believe that ECHL officials are looking at game tape...I'm pretty confident with Swanson if he gets the go. I'ts a shame that the league has this last 5 minute rule about instigation, because in all actuallity the instigation started before Starling got involved
Yea it's a BS call on Chad. If anybody received an instigator it should be Kiser. He started the whole thing at the end. Chad didn't even really do anything. Rory was standing there with Chad and they grabbed each other and started fighting just like everyone else. Kiser better get a suspension. IMO abuse of officials is far worse than instigating a fight.
