I'm looking at Bennett, Hamilton, Hathaway and Tkachuk as the main drivers in the increase in penalties. Tkachuk's number is pretty absurd for a guy that doesn't really fight.
Look at the guys the Flames moved at the deadline last season. Hudler, Jones, Russell, and Granlund. All super low pims guys. Who did they replace them with? Did Hathaway play more down teh stretch?
Maybe this needs to be looked into deeper before jumping to conspiracy theories.

Or, has been shown at post #12, you could compare the pre-incident PIMs +/- with the post-incident PIMs +/-.
