Our smallest star gets run head first in to the boards.
Our captain gets dumped by our biggest rival's goon.
And our answer is to take a PP? Or depend on the refs to protect our players?
Yikes. Some plan. We will be lucky to stay healthy at this rate. Good luck winning in the playoffs.

I agree with you but what were the flames supposed to do about it on saturday?
They didn't ahve the muscle in the lineup to deal with either lucic or kassian, and honestly you don't want Bennett or tkachuk dealing with it by themselves and hamonic couldn't help... THe flames were losing that battle every single time. so you have to flip the script and do something else.
Best option against a team with goons like that is to file a complaint to the league about the slew foot and the hit on johnny and then hope the refs pay better attention the next time.
there really are very few teams who still employ someone who could go toe to toe with lucic.
for next game, sure, put peluso in but I doubt it''ll do much. because kassian and lucic both think way too highly of themselves to fight a true 4th liner in peluso and they won't engage.
