As for trying to analyse how he's treating JG while he's frustrated, that's a huge leap to suggest he's handling it wrong cause he didn't go over to him. Again, he might no better what Johnny wants or needs, and also who knows what else is going on behind close doors. Maybe he doesn't feel like he wants to go speak to Johnny if he's annoyed with him about something else, like off ice preparation or something.
Also, ripping the officials never works. Might make us fans feel better, but it serves no purpose. Especially if the Flames are already getting a raw deal from them because of Wideman gate.

My assessment was as a lazy boy coach. I am not asking for anyone to rip into the officials but its pretty black and white to me. They called a high stick and he was bleeding. If it was Tkachuks stick that hit himself in the face drawing blood then it should never have been a call in the first place but how a ref can call a high stick but not call the extra 2 for blood because it was his own players stick makes no sense.
