You can sit him now in a blowout or play him in a close game. 
 
Or he could be hurt. Either way, what do you gain by playing him now if the Ducks are looking to pummel him?

He was terrible in the regular season too when he called Flames games too. He peaked in the late 90s before he ran off to Europe.

			Still over 5 min left and the building is half empty.  I know it's 6-1 but it's the PLAYOFFS - you don't stick around to cheer your team at the end?  Anaheim fans suck.

Can the Flames accidentally-on-purpose lay on the goalie next game and not get a penalty? That would be great.

Heal of the stick also hit the edge of the boards too. Still a slash but the boards took a good chuck of the blow.

Yeah just wait, Erick Estrada will have some cryptic post in the post game thread about it.
 
Never mind the fact that the Ducks were just the better team tonight.

			I really really wish the refereeing in this league was consistent. Gaudreau hit from behind, Backlund blatantly hooked. What's the point in not making the calls? It destroys the entertainment by making it possible for less skilled players to bend the rules, basically push it until the refs make a call. Why not just call every game the same? It's been bothering me for a long time. How is Gaudreau going to survive in a game against 220 pound men when the officials don't care about what happens?
