Steven Stamkos appears to grab Auston Matthews with his bare hand and then start punching him several times before Matthews decided to counter. Should he have gotten an instigator penalty? Tough Call will be reviewing the incident. Have your say!

Yes. Next.
Yes
He also used the ref as a mean’s to pick the fight, should be fined.
Show the cross check to Colton’s head that got 2 minutes😂
LOL the ref. Stamkos probably said "Watch me. I'm gonna beat the shit out of thie Matthews guy." Throws his glove down and starts feeding him. REF SKATES AWAY IN FEAR. Like it looks like he shit his pants. "Stammer..stop it. Stammer. Please. Don't do that." What a joke.
You're allowed to sucker punch the leafs, arent you?
I don’t think there should be such s thing as an instigator penalty.
Toronto fans are the worst 😂😂😂
Guy was picking up his teams sticks, and gets punched no gloves btw in the face 4 times. Like wtf. The kid is literally skating around picking up sticks.
Stamkos suspension worthy 1 game
Simply yes
Yup. If the refs followed the rules, which they don't. So I change my answer to no.
if stamkos does this out of the rink he literally goes to jail
The refs are a fucking joke. I'm not a fan of either team but this is just embarrassing for the league. They 100% screwed the Leafs on how this was handled
ALL OF YOU… the violence was started by RR90.. everything that happens after is retaliatory from ref eyes AND fan eyes before hi res clips on the internet.
He does not actually punch Matthews. Does he have to make contact to be given instigator penalty? Stamkos should have at least been given a roughing minor.
Yeeeep! And not a leaf’s fan
An actual video of them first starting
Who cares got his bucket off quick and stamkos ended up with a cut nose 😆
