Guys jump in so that a whistle is blown and so the trainer can get on the ice and look after Laine during the scrum. If you don't scrum, you're playing short handed distracted by Laine lying helpless on the ice. Either way you're playing short handed, but at least with the scrum penalty, Laine is receiving treatment. It also helps to punish McCabe and send a message to your opponents that you don't #### around.
Jeez, you know big hits are going down with some of the comments around here. This is clean, standard hockey.
