Fast forward to post game and all of a sudden Edmonton's brilliant plan of playing knuckle-draggers and face-punchers was a flawed strategy.
Sorry guys, but thats old news. Lucic, Kassian and Nurse spent so much time running around like idiots and trying to get people to 'answer the bell' that they didnt play the game.
I'll take guys like Bennett and Chucky any day. They can agitate and they can play. Even Backlund chipped in on the aggression.

There's been decades proving the the need to play plugs to fight is overrated. Yes it may be maddening to watch your team get bullied but the point of the game is to score the most goals not to be the meaner guys.
