Eric Francis has an article on the Flames lack of toughness. He has quotes from Big Ern in the article.

I think it's a great piece. Here is what I found most interesting.
Quote:
“Those skilled players get enough abuse as it is as they’re against number one defensive pairings and the top checking line,” said McGrattan. “But with nobody sticking up for them, they’ll get that even more. He knows it’s going to happen again in the next week because teams know they can do whatever they want to this guy and nobody is going to do anything.”
That’s the word around the league.

Interesting take that word is spreading around the league that the Flames won't bother seeking repercussions against players who have a go at Johnny.
