For anyone that didn't watch the Minnesota feed tonight, they have one of their 3 broadcasters standing between the benches. After the Wild`s fourth goal, Hartley is walking back and forth behind the bench and loudly stating "someone better show me something out there"!
The puck drops and Jackman goes after Pominville, then ends up with a 2,5, 10 and a game misconduct for his antics including fighting Stoner.
Personally, I think Hartley did not react well. His choice of words behind the bench and who he put on the ice did absolutely nothing to get the team coming off the ice and into St Louis on a positive note. The game was essentially over at 3-1, Flames looking like they were skating in quicksand, so why not pull Berra to send a message to the team. Even if they don't put out more effort, which we can't say since he wasn't pulled, it's better than letting a rookie goalie hang out to dry.
