In watching the video again, the Ref got to see enough of the play both by Tzachuk and Doughty to make a call, none was made, if any call should have been made it should have been Doughty, Gaudreau got fined for embellishment after being tripped then run face first into the boards while still on his knees. Officiating in this league sucks the big one, something has to change!!!
Not worked up at all, just funny reading the embarassing homerish comments like "it should only be a 2 minute penalty because elbowing is a 2 minute minor" derp.
Comments from people loosely associated to you through a hockey team don't actually embarrass you, do they?
I had forgotten he was a game time decision a few games back... someone raised a good point that at least this gives him a bit of time to get healthy. Small positive in all of this.

so you think it warranted a suspension but not by the NHL. by who, then?
I feel the play warranted a suspension because the league says it wants to get headshots out of the game. However, with their inconsistencies, the fact that they actually DID suspend Tkachuk doesn't mean a bloody thing.
Essentially, it warranted a suspension from an NHL that actually stand by what they claim they want to do and not the one we currently see, which as we all know dispenses random discipline unless it pertains to one of their poster-children.
Idk, even if that's not Crosby that's not worth a suspension IMO.
Would there be no reaction if that was Tkachuk?? John Shannon would be all over the replay saying that's the type of play that has no place in this game, and Tkachuk just goes over the line too often! Nuff said.
Kind of odd how Shannon was the one who first called for Tkachuk to be suspended and then was all over the news breaks on the story. That guy never breaks news, Oiler blowhard without a doubt. Why he is on TV and employed for hockey knowledge is beyond me. Where's his bitching about this play?

Shannon will also defend the league for anything and everything. Probably just hoping to get another job if he ever gets canned from TV.
Stop moving Bennett to the wing, the Flames aren't going to do it for two games. Call up Jankowski, put him on the left side with Backlund and Frolik, upset the lines as little as possible. Just a preview of next season
Tell us more about what the Flames won't do.
Jankowski is more of a pure playmaking centre than Bennett is. Don't think we'll ever see him on the wing at the NHL level, his game doesn't really fit there IMO. Bennett has a lot more elements in his game that would excel along the wing and along the boards.
I'm more convinced Jankowski is a centre long term than Bennett is.
