Did Hagel leave the bench to join an altercation or not? – Tough Call Review
Some fans were under the impression Brandon Hagel left the bench to join a scrum after the Avalanche injured two Lightning players in about four seconds.
Steinburg left his feet to hit Cernak, and it's tough to tell from the angle, but it looks as if the hit on McDonagh by the Avs player ( think it's Wagner) is boarding. Why would anyone say Hagel left the bench?
You could easily count the players and numbers of the players on the ice at the time (like the video does). Or an even easier way to determine if he left the bench or not is if you are a Tampa fan he didn't leave the bench. If you are a Avs fan he did leave the bench. Pretty simple way to determine
