Absolute BS by the NHL and the continued incompetence of their player safety department and their on ice officials.
If its actually a broken finger and surgery is required he's probably out for 4-6 weeks.
Nice going NHL, Nice going Minnesota, that was a deliberate strategy on their hands.
I've said that the NHL when they decided to go with the softer side of sears approach to hockey it was going to lead to a rise of cheap shot idiots or agitators and this little passive aggressive bs.
Congrats NHL you put a marketable star player in harms way, and you overloaded the deck with continually incompetent and inconsistent officials.
Personally, I wish the Flames would call a press conference to congratulate the NHL player safety department for a job well done.
No really guys you are the height of competence. I'm so glad that the Peter Principle applies to the NHL
This thing is so stupid. Its not like this was an accident, all I've seen this year is slashes to the hand when Johnny gets the puck or is in a position to get the puck.
Personally, if I was the Flames in the next game, I wouldn't dress a single star. I'd dress every idiot that I can find that can skate and I'd put them on the ice, and if the NHL complained I'd simply say "You guys do such an outstanding job with player safety that we don't feel its worthwhile to put our stars on the ice."
Just dumb.
Way to go NHL, I've gone from apathy for the Flames to trying to figure out if the NHL is even worth my time anymore.
