In this scenario, Ference is Stillman and there isn't a 'Ference' to be found on the Calgary squad.
It's an interesting personnel problem, because guys that can actually play as well as play assertively, don't grow on trees.
If you're Lee Stempniak this morning, how do you feel about the organization and your teammates after getting tuned up in consecutive nights? Probably not good.

I think there is some "convenience" arguments there justifying why we thought it was ok when Ference was a Flame, and why it's not now. But I do agree, we need someone willing to stick up for each other when people pull what Ference did last night, something this team sorely misses.
