All this talk about Westgarth hurting the Sedins is just so dumb.

FACT 1: Westgarth didn't throw a single punch at Bieksa
FACT 2: Westgarth let Bieksa go when it was clear he didn't want to fight

So if Westgarth doesn't "Jump" Bieksa, a noted tough guy and fighter, why would he do it to a Sedin?

And on the other hand, you have Sestito sent out purposely to punch and attack an unwilling combatant in Nolan after a clean hit (a poor man's Bertuzzi/Moore).

I suppose I can see why the Canucks thought that Westgarth and McGrattan WOULD have beaten the Sedins heads in because THAT IS WHAT THE CANUCKS DO, beat unwilling combatants, but, that's not what the Westgarth and McGrattan do, and it's not what the Calgary Flames do.
