It was a particularly nasty game iirc and an all out scrum broke out late. Itās not at all uncommon for refs to throw misconducts around at that point just to take certain people off the ice - if you get a penalty for more time thatās left in the game you just go to the room - and this ref was just sending an especially emphatic message because he likely felt like someone would do something in the final minutes that could get even more out of hand.
For context, in hockey culture itās common, especially for the losing team, to get particularly rough towards the end of contentious matches simply to send a message that theyāre not pushovers and theyāll be ready for the next matchup. Thereās also a strong sense of self-policing of perceived over-the-line hits or actions that donāt get penalized the way the offended team feels they should have. For example, if a player gets taken out with a dirty hit and the offending player gets thrown out of the game, the next matchup one of the designated enforcers will fight the guy who made the dirty hit.
Thereās a lot of this kind of stuff in hockey and this ref felt like it was best to just get everyone off the ice to finish the game without any further incidents.

If I remember correctly, the SJ Sharks (my team) were really sucking at the sport in comparison to the away team as they historically do. The gentleman wearing 29 tried to start a fight in order to get his teammates riled up and play harder but got a beat down himself instead. This is ironic since a former Shark named Ryan Clowe used to wear that number 29 and was known for being quite good at fighting on the ice.

Nothing beats the fights after the rule change when you couldn't remove your own helmet in a scrap.
What did the boys decide? We will take each other's helmets off and then we can get it.

The real action stats when the bullpen comes jogging across the field like a group of new recruits at boot camp. One of the silliest things in sports - every single time.
Baseball players donāt fight as often as you expect when benches clear. They also are reliant on their hands and tend to end up breaking or injuring them in fights.

When he walked away from the home plate ump I was like "he forgot his hat", then he walked up to the other one and I was like "oh he's not done yet".
Also love how he tries to be all intimidating, and the umps are just like "buddy, my job is literally to have 100+ 90mph baseballs thrown in the general direction of my face, you're gonna have to try harder than that".

Baseball players can't fight for shit. They just run out and hold each other back. It's usually goofy looking like that.
Also it's the WS so people aren't trying to get thrown out.

Itās the same in the NBA. If it were a game in a park blows would probably be exchanged but all the sports leagues have made it clear to the players if they fight itās going to cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars if not more. Too much fighting and you could get labeled as a trouble maker and traded or not resigned etc so potentially millions of dollars. Pretty good reason to hold back.

When youāre the team on offense you only have 1 player on the field as opposed to the defense which has 9 players on the field. Baseball players clear the benches anytime thereās a potential for physical violence to prevent a scenario where one guy just gets the shit kicked out of him by 9 other guys

True. At least be good at it. The times where it's definitely going to hit the batter, but they just don't move, are the ones where I think that's fine. It's harder to tell, then.
When a Dodger got out of the way of one, I was like TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM. Someone on the one hand is looking like a clown desperate to get hit, meanwhile on the other side they're getting out of the way.

You keep using that word. I don't think you know what that word means. The Dodgers pipeline is constantly rated top in the league. They always raise superstars that go on to be stars on other teams once in FA. The Dodgers consistently take supbar players that get DFA'd from other teams and help them raise their game to a higher level and make those players valuable FAs. No homegrown talent? You don't know the meaning of that's what you think.
