You would prefer that Stempniak play scared and set that as a example for the re-build?
Are you saying that Stempniak's first line minutes and 3rd/4th line scoring are too valuable an asset for the lottery pick Flames?
It is not like I am wanting Stempniak to go out and drop the gloves with Ferrence on the opening face off (Like Iginla would do in the same situation) or go after someone who clearly is physically dominant.
This team is asking Backlund and Baertschi and Monahan to play big against big tough NHL players and Stempniak somehow does not have to stand up for himself?
Did you see the much concussed Crosby going after Chara???
If Crosby (Stempniak sized) most skilled player in the world can man up and go after Chara why does Stempniak get a pass after Ferrence spanked him.
