Giving out matching minors for these scrums is a terrible idea, and it forces guys to defend themselves for doing nothing more then throwing a clean hit. If the hit is dirty, then hell yes let players stand of for their teamates. But the NHL needs to start dishing out major penelties to guys who go after guys for clean hits.
