Win or lose a game... I would fully support and cheer on a flames team that brought back the bench-clearing brawl to the NHL. Suspensions and fines be damned. If the Matt cookes and Alex burrows of the league were jumped by a Bollig or mcgrattan for trying to take a bite out if gaudreau... They would think twice about it next time

There seems to be less dirty hits now than before. Obviously we are much more sensitive to them so it may seem like more, but I don't see the decrease in goons has had any effect. There use to be elbows, knees, etc galore when there were more goons.
