I would be ok with a double-minor if he face-washed Monahan. Even if he threw a couple with the gloves on. However, throwing down his gloves and not giving Monahan a choice, and continuing to throw punches - that's a fighting major + one of the easiest instigators to call.

I lost all respect for Stamkos after his cheap shots against Barkov in the first round of last year’s playoffs. Barkov wasn’t the same player for the rest of that series. Stamkos didn’t get penalized then either.
