What was he suppose to do there then? Not shoot to risk the chance of a save?

That's not what i'm saying.
Hockey is a game of momentum and it's a game about playing the in-game environment.
Guys who play literally less than 6 minutes a night can't be out there taking worthless selfish stick penalties.
The Flames were in control. The emotion had drained out of the game for the most part. The two points is more important.
Rinaldo's penalty was worthless, accomplished nothing, wasn't a hockey play and dared the refs to call a penalty.
An passionless 3rd period suddenly had an injection of emotion for the oilers and the flames lost a series of back and forth momentum events and the game got out of control.
The way she goes, man.
I just have no tolerance for a guy who literally has his job from a tryout pulling that kind of thing.
