Not saying that. But for a leader on this team, with all the pressure of a poor showing for this team so far this season, down 2 goals in a battle of Alberta with all of the momentum swung back the Flames way it was sure a stupid move. It ended killing that momentum and breaking this fragile team.
If you were on this losing team who is just not clicking and you saw one of the leaders of your team take a completely unnecessary penalty resulting in a goal in the back of your net in those circumstances would you feel like rallying behind that leadership?
