Mantha and Hamonic began fighting on the ice and while they were fighting were unaware that the bench door was open so both fell into the benches. BOTH players continued to throw punches.

Sorry, no. When the linesman comes into play, it stops. The player on-top needs to stop it. He’s in control. Mantha should be suspended. If the same thing happened on the ice, he’d be suspended. The NHL just didn’t do anything because the media didn’t cover it properly.
