Even if you accept a comparison to the Scott/ Kessel situation, the only person who was at risk of injury was Scott from Kessel's stick.
The notion of a 'Goon' jumping a 'Star' is total BS. It does not happen. Being chased around the rink? Sure.
I challenge anyone to bring up an incident where it has. Bonus point for an incident that has resulted in an injury like the ones Tortorella was claiming could have happened.
Based on the Flames reaction, their intention was not to physically punish the Canucks, but to agitate them and tick them off.
