When referee initially signaled the goal, Enforcers players vehemently disputed that, saying the puck didn’t cross the line. Players, both on the ice and on the bench, came across to argue with all four officials. Kirnan said he’s seen video to validate that.

“We were looking at the video just to see why they were acting that way and to see if there was a reason for it,” he said.

Brand added that much of Tuesday’s conference call will be about what transpired on the ice rather than the altercation after the goal was officially announced.

“To be honest with you, I think a majority of (Tuesday's) discussion will have to do with what happened on the ice, in terms of discipline,” he said. “Off the ice, if there was something we did wrong or something we could handle better, even if the league does nothing, we’ll look into it.

“But we’ve (played) 65 games in the last two years, and I think it’s the second incident, and the other one is when a player squirted water at a fan. Part of it is don’t rile up the fans."
