Chaos unfolds as benches empty following Rangers-Red Wings game

The whole thing started with Rangers starting goalie Jonathan Quick coming off the bench to confront Appleton. Quick started the game and stopped 40 of 42 shots in the loss and was probably extremely frustrated with not getting the result. Seeing Appleton take that shot probably sent him over the edge. The question of whether or not suspensions will come from this is certainly one worth looking at. The thing that might save players, specifically Quick, is that players typically to leave the bench area to go to the locker rooms at Madison Square Garden as the locker room tunnels are not directly behind the benches. Either way, it was a chaotic end to a game between two Original Six franchises with an old-school finish.
