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.

Disagree. This is what happens when the refs don't call penalties for young guys.
There is Some BS excuse about young players not getting calls because they haven't paid their due blah blah blah. It happened to Crosby as well when he came into the league, he would get slashed and held and he would complain like Johnny does. Remember how everyone said he was a whiner and needed to just play hockey?
