What's Bennett supposed to do, drop the gloves and get hammered? No point in that. He wouldn't win that fight.
I totally agree that Ericsson was being a tool and I too would have loved to see some more Red Wings get the snot kicked out of them, but at the end of the day it's probably best that cooler heads prevailed. Sending out guys to pick fights at the end of the game is classless IMO.
Side note, love Gully calling out the officials. If I owned the Flames I'd let Gully blast the refs to the media and pay the fine myself. It's a league-wide issue. I'd love to see a coach or two just torch them.
