I didn't think for one second that the Calgary players would have 'jumped' the Canucks - like how does that ever happen any longer? I can't remember 4th liners just jumping 1st liners, perhaps with the extremely rare egregious hit committed by a 1st liner.
Bob got fined for that, but I still say he didn't do a thing wrong that game in starting the 4th line, but Torts somehow made things bad for his team - like he did all season long in Vancouver.
Thanks for posting this.

Total segue off the original topic, but if I recall correctly, the prior few games in a row, the Canucks were losing late and started gooning it up, jumping players, etc.
I.e. Two games prior against the Ducks they were down 6-0 and received the instigating penalties and more misconducts.
Game prior to that against the Kings it was a close game, and Vancouver got the first instigators...
As for the league's all-time worst spot-picker Bieksa, he can eat a bag of dicks.
