Let's be honest, Jackman has JUST delivered both a headshot and a butt-end with his stick, and I didn't hear too many people shouting "There's no place for him in hockey!". A little perspective is all.

It's not like Scott is known for this trash, he's just a low talent enforcer, without a history of being any 'dirtier' than Jackman.
Scott and McGrattan are enforcers.

Jackman is just a 4th line grinder who's fought when the Flames didn't have anybody else to step up. He's not really a great fighter and he's not a goon. He's just a meat and potatoes hard nosed grinder. Bouma is a similar player IMO.

Different types of players in my opinion.
