Though a little crass, Rooney is just doing his job here in preventing anything from escalating too far, and while the words may not be for the faint of heart, they were effective in getting the players to listen to him.

Bahl Likely Upset From Previous Dirty Hit

The context of the scuffle and why Bhal was even trying to engage was that Sabres' Connor Clifton made a dirty hit on the Devils' captain Nico Hischier, where he made direct contact with Hischier's head. The hit resulted in a hearing for Clifton.
NHL Player Safety just announced a hearing for Clifton. Hischier did not play third period tonight, «precautionary reasons,» according to Lindy Ruff
