Deciding discipline for headshots is a very tough job because every hit is different. And there are lots of other factors too.
Everybody has their own opinion on how many games if any a hit is worth. No shortage of self proclaimed experts when it comes to NHL discipline.
In my opinion (that doesn't matter one bit) the Flames lucked out. The proper call was 5 and a game. And a 5 minute powerplay could have changed the result of the game.
Also, I am looking forward to watching Tkachuk become the most hated player in the NHL.
