Stamkos made multiple blows to the head of someone who wasn’t fighting him. Clear premeditated intent to injure. Should be a multiple game suspension, but it won’t be, because he’s Stamkos

A nice bonus for this win would be an angry Tampa team rolling into Edmonton and just absolutely shredding whatever is left of the Oilers' playoff hopes. Make it happen, Bolts!

Doesn't work that way: he was legally on the ice. That's all that matters. Why he didn't get the instigator + 5 though....
I suppose they could review it for sucker punch, or else somehow say he deserved an instigator because he was throwing punches and it really was a fight.
Whatever, he looked like a baby, and he can live with that embarrassment.

Can't you get a suspension for leaving the bench on a legal line change and immediately starting a fight without getting involved in the play? Seem to remember Ryan Lomberg getting dinged for that a few years ago.

Yeah, but that's Lomberg though. And this is Stamkos, the supposed "star" in the league.
I think she meant that the Flames hadn't won against TBL in 5 years...or something like that.
Well her exact words were “the Flames had hit a bit of a rough patch losing 5 in a row”. Who cares, she is probably just another of Sportsnet’s Oilers cheer squad.

Stamkos should have been assessed a fighting major + instigator. That's an easy call. Both gloves off while Monahan's was cemented on, but continued to throw and land punches even while they were on the ground.
I would be ok with a double-minor if he face-washed Monahan. Even if he threw a couple with the gloves on. However, throwing down his gloves and not giving Monahan a choice, and continuing to throw punches - that's a fighting major + one of the easiest instigators to call.
