Context on Ference:
1) Ferrence is the only NHL player to post regularly on CP. He is a great reason that this site is so successful.
2) He was a great Flame In the 04 playoff run he and Warner were the Flames 3/4 D pairing .... Ference was making 500k
3) He was a prime example of signing for a hometown discount and getting treated poorly by the team. I guess that was a prime reason that the Flames had to give out so many NTCs after Ference. One of the worst trades in Flames History... Ference and Kobasew for playoff rental Stuart and Primeau.
On the Stempniak hit and beat down:
McGratton and Gazdic had their staged fight where Mcgrattan tussled Gazdic's hair after the beat down. This was after Bouma ran Belov leaving him squirming on the ice post fight.
Three minutes later Stempniak hits Ference and Ference decides that the Oilers are not going to run out of the Saddledome by the soft (Baertschi, Bulter, D. Smith, Backlund, Stempniak, Galiardi) Flames. If guys like Stempniak feel they can start running around you are going to have a really long night.
At the time Flames were leading the Oilers 1-0 on a Monahan goal. The Oilers game back with 4 third period goals to win 4-2 for perhaps their biggest win since their 2006 playoff run.
Ference does that in a Flames uniform (like he should be wearing) he would be a hero on this board.
