The next horrible attack was Sestito / Jackman. They had already fought. Then after a whistle Sestito clears out the crease and Jackman comes at him with his stick up. The score is 7-1. Jackman turtles.
In either case you would have felt a Flames player was perfectly within his right to do what the Canucks did.
Hansen "fighting" Vatanen is meaningless. But neither happened because a guy was "sent out" to do anything.
As for the Flames beating up the Canucks, sure. Whatever gets you through the day. Was it Bieksa slipping on a stick or McGratton spitting blood an hour later than convinced you? Somebody has to lose a fight for someone to have won.
More weak hockey fans suffered injuries fighting their keyboard warrior lives than players did in any of these fights. Kleenex sales doubled, and not for the good reason.

Can you cite sources for:
- McGratton spitting blood for an hour
- Any human vs keyboard fights, let alone the increase in injuries as a result of Hockey Day in Canada
- Where you saw Kleenex sales doubled, and do you have statistics for other brands of facial tissue as well? Also toilet paper is a substitute product for facial tissues, how were their numbers affected by the line brawl?
