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.

I like Burke but it's apparent he as with some other older people in the NHL just can't accept the league has changed. Probably for the best he's not here anymore as the Flames need to move past this mentality of dressing bad players because of their fighting skills.
