At the game, it was hard to see what actually happened, and I thought the Flames got jobbed a bit on the coincidental minors. But seeing the video now, yeah, that was an intentional slew foot from Coleman. He doesn't have a history of that kind of thing, as far as I know, but there is no room in the game for that. Definitely worthy of a fine.
Coleman is very undisciplined he takes bad penalties and at bad times in the hockey game. He needs to really control himself and his stick works.
100%. Not only he is undisciplined, he also plays intentionally careless often. Watching him on every shift, there is something and you know he knows, as he immediately looks back at the refs to see if they let it go this time. Drawing unnecessary penalties is one thing; causing risk of injuries to others is another. I am surprised Sutter gives him such a long leash, to be honest.

He did sit him in the box for Markstrom’s penalty even though he would probably normally be on the PK.so maybe that was a message.

He seems to be in the dog house, one of the more recent game he logged only 10 mins. Assuming benched after one of his dumb high stick penalties. Today, skating on the 4th line in practice. Probably reverts back to normal come game time, but I'd say Sutter is sending a msg
Saw it live and was pretty pissed about the call, understand it a little more after watching. But still this is on the refs as much as anyone, the were two Winnipeg players interfering one with a hook, one with a hold, 4 different options for penalties that could be called, which was indicative of how that game had been played for the 15 proceeding minutes without any calls. When people talk about refs needing to control a game, don't let a dozen obvious obstruction penalties go until players don't have any faith in the rule book anymore.
Coleman fined $5k for slew footing Dubois
