This is what happens when a team doesn't stand up for their skilled players. When Johnny got slashed the first time any player with some moxy should have hit that player hard, slashed or fought him. A penalty like that is worth taking. A good HC would made a point to particular players what to do. Or God forbid called the ref over. Gulutzan did nothing but stare off into airhead space. Johnny's team mates did nothing until much later in the game after Gaudreau was slashed 5,6 times already.
Poor leadership.
And yes the Flames should sack up and send a compilation of slashes on #13 into the NHL and illustrate how many times the refs also did not call a slashing penalty. Any even farts near McCrybaby and the Coilers get a PP.
