I hope that there is a big target on Eric Stall & Suter the next time the Flames play the Wild. Call up Hunter Smith or sign some other Plug that can fight and take a run at their best players.

No it's on the officials to call the game by the rules. Policing in the NHL does not work anymore because it more than not results in instigating penalties. Does anyone think that Eric Stahl was thinking about physical repercussions during the heat of the moment when he slashed Johnny? Of course not but if he knew it would land him two minutes in the penalty box it sure might have.
