Straight from the rulebook
Rule 46.8, "Fighting Off the Playing Surface," specifically deals with this, reading, "Whenever a Coach or other non-playing Club personnel becomes involved in an altercation with an opposing player, Coach or other non-playing Club personnel on or off the ice, shall be automatically suspended from the game, ordered to the dressing room and the matter will be reported to the Commissioner for further disciplinary action."
Guess that means the officials deemed the off ice incident to not be an altercation? Doesnt mean anything though, Colin can and will see it differently.
