That shiv (not convinced it was the elbow at all and Button seems to believe the same) was greasy and slimy. Matthew wasn't "Bracing for impact", he was trying to do exactly what he did. I think he got lucky the elbow didn't end up higher and Doughty ate more shoulder/arm than anything else.

I said it in Gt, I don't care this time. Flames have traditionally been pushed around by the big Pacific teams in the past and this year, the Flames need to have that "Don't you dare think about effing with us or we will rip your head off" swagger walking into the playoffs.

I'm more confident now that we can push back against the Ducks or Sharks in a playoff round.

We now have a Cory Perry for our team.
