The only joke is that someone wearing red didn't punch Ference's eyes shut. The game is no longer allowed to organically regulate itself because of the instigator, but who cares about a penalty in a situation like that? Isn't the reason behind having a guy like Mcgratton to not get pushed around? Ference didn't deserve more in penalty minutes due to that fight, the refs hands were tied. The joke is that Bouma or Mcgratton didn't skate right over to Ference after he served and present him with the same no-choice situation that Stempniak had.
