Clarke said that he would not have hit Martin, but that he had wanted to challenge Martin about the unbalanced fight pairings. Clarke subsequently lodged a complaint with league supervisor Claude Loiselle. The only player to receive a fine or suspension as a result of the game was Danny Markov, who got a statutory one-game ban for collecting his third game misconduct of the season. Philadelphia-based Comcast SportsNet (CSN), which had aired the game live, described it as an "instant classic," replayed the game the following Wednesday (March 10). The replay received a Nielsen rating of 1.0, a higher figure than most telecasts involving the Philadelphia Flyers. League officials from the NHL were unhappy with the replay being shown, as they perceived the game to tarnish the League's image, and they requested that CSN not replay the game again. The Flyers and the Senators met once more during the season, and despite some claims from Bobby Clarke that Philadelphia would seek further revenge, there were only six minor penalties assessed in the match, which the Senators won 3–1. Ottawa defenceman Zdeno Chara explained that "both teams were really focusing on the two points. We weren't going to risk that by fighting." Both teams qualified for the 2004 playoffs; Ottawa was eliminated in the first-round by the Toronto Maple Leafs, while Philadelphia defeated the New Jersey Devils and Maple Leafs to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, but were then beaten by the eventual Stanley Cup champions, the Tampa Bay Lightning. The brawl, along with an incident that occurred 3 days later, between the Vancouver Canucks' Todd Bertuzzi and Steve Moore of the Colorado Avalanche (in which Bertuzzi hit Moore from behind, breaking his neck, in retaliation for a hit by Moore on one of Bertuzzi's team-mates a month earlier), brought the issue of violence in ice hockey into focus. Particular attention was given to retaliation; when Brashear was interviewed on the subject of the Bertuzzi incident, he defended such on-ice revenge, and suggested that Bertuzzi should not receive a suspension, because "all they have to do is go after him when he comes back." That mindset echoed the comments made by Ken Hitchcock and Mark Recchi about Martin Havlat, and Sam Donnellon of the Philadelphia Daily News suggested that it was prevailing opinion amongst all the players in the League. He suggested that rather than wanting stricter penalties to clamp down
