What does that have to do with the Sedins? Torts could have done whatever he wanted. The Flames were obviously trying to send a message, it's the same message every team is sending when they put out their fourth line, but it has never stopped Torts from playing his skill lines against them. It's been overblown, especially by Torts, because there's simply 0 proof the fourth line of the Flames would have fought anyone who didn't want to. Would they have hit hard if given the opportunity? Yes, because they do every time they are out there.

The result was 3-2.
It has nothing to do with "fighting". Even if Westgarth or McGratton took a run at a Sedin or anyone else it would have been a coaching failure. I like what Torts did and the "tone setters" were silent the rest of the night. I don't understand any degree of crying and whining by either side. NHL hockey is here to entertain me and it doesn't seem to be entertaining often enough. If the Canucks need to be classless jerky jerks jerking all over classy, well run sports franchises then so be it.
Entertain me.
