We need to get them in the all star game so they can get a feel good story too!

Montreal and their staff were vilified for not taking Nathan Beaulieu out of a game before Christmas where he was knocked out in a fight and clearly did not look right. Frankly, the Flames and their staff deserve the same. So too does the league and the officials association given Henderson should have come out as well.
All sides wanted a half measure. Half measures exist to be taken advantage of.
