Exactly, what has been the problem for the Canucks lately? Goal scoring, so what do they do? Call up a tough guy? And after all the shenanigans they pulled on the recent road trip and all the big deal about the "moral victory" and embracing this new "tough team" identity?

Hartley was the one who "had no choice" but to start the 4th line. Flames have been intimidated and pushed around by the Canucks for way too long.
