From the NHL rule book… An instigator of an altercation shall be a player who by his actions or demeanor demonstrates any/some of the following criteria: distance traveled; gloves off first; first punch thrown; menacing attitude or posture; verbal instigation or threats; conduct in retaliation to a prior game incident.
So since every time a player starts a fight due to a clean hit (Happened twice to simmonds this year, both were not clean hits, they were actually knees, but now he is one instigator away from a suspension) How the heck is this not called… granted, it was a great game and I am happy my team won, but refs need to learn the rules.
Miller slight win. Miller does right thing stepping up & letting Schenn know that it won't be tolerated. Clean hard hurt – sure, absolutely but it's also intimidating and Bruins usually don't tolerate that. Flyers didn't used to either.

Why does it say schenn pays the price when he did all the punching lmao
Gotta see it: "Insert bad description of video here" lol
Clean hit. More Beantown bullshit
Awesome hit. Terrible title.
but it was a even fight and schenn is skilled unlike Miller. ..
krug is a little bitch
i call that fight the jerk
Lol "pays the price". Did Miller even get a hit in?
uuuuum..schenn won that scap
Schenn's hit was hard and clean, and the fight was a draw. Yawn….
Schenn won the fight he did not pay just bc he fell on his back he threw more punches like boiiiiii
Schenn just shook the hell out of him wtf
Shut up Pierre
That was a clean hit no need to go after him
"Sachant pays the price [and that price is being off balance.]"
HOW DARE HE THROW A BIG, LEGAL HIT ON SOMEONE!!!
How did he pay the price
Hope schenn gets knocked out of the game soon with a huge hit.. douchebag
Why does everyone always gotta hate on Boston. Any other team would fight after a hit like that.
Too bad Schenn fell, was hoping Miller would kick his ass. Miller or McQuaid.
pays the price????
boston still sucks 🙂
Schenn looked like he landed a few more punches, but I feel like millers connecting hits were more effective, and he won.
Clean hit, grow up Miller.
Schenn answers the Bell and doesn't back down from a challenge….now contrast this with Tkachuk vs Kassian
Pierre is such a douche.
What did Schenn pay for? Schenn just fed miller his dinner.
Bruins are so frustrated and big babies
