Flames Gaudreau update
Jermain Franklin @TSNJFranklin
From what I understand initial assessments on Gaudreau points to him being fine however we will know more on #Flames game day tomorrow. Gaudreau was forced to leave last night's game by #NHL spotters following a hit from McAvoy in the 3rd

I had no idea McAvoy was such a weasel.

From that hit, to his shaking his head at Hathaway for someone faking the fact that he got pick axed in the face by McAvoy's stick was enlightening.

McAvoy is a huge weasel. Has a super punchable face too.

That stick was Ryan Smyth accidental, how it went up into Hathaway's face.

I think I'll be alone in this, but I really do think the stick was accidental - and the hit on Johnny was fine.

I'd have reversed the penalties though. Accidental or not, that's 2mins for high sticking.

Concussion spotters should remove more players. That's just an opinion, but if anyone can explain why Johnny was removed but Valimaki wasn't, I'd like to know.

He got hit at the benches, either the game before in Colorado or last night. I can't remember.

Not as bad as the Petterson/Matheson hit but damn.

He got popped in the jaw. It stunned him, he went off under his own power, and he was fine.

But the whole point of the spotters is that players will always say they're fine. Especially when they're 19 and think they're invincible.

If you get staggered by a head hit, I think they should take ten minutes to make sure you're okay. It's just the Canadian thing to do.

Not sure if Francis has a more concrete source but he just tweeted this.

Update: #Flames fans can breathe easy as Johnny Gaudreau is fine and feeling no significant effects of the hit by Charlie McAvoy that prompted concussion spotters to remove him from the game last night. League will not discipline McAvoy. Case closed, even if debate continues.

I was fine with McAvoy going to make a hit on Johnny, what I didn't like was how his gloves/elbow/forearms were projected upwards towards Johnny's face/head.

That part of the hit is unacceptable IMO.

I agree. Accidental but careless.

But to roll your eyes and shake your head at Hathaway for hitting the ice after he got stick toed the face was crazy.

Did Francis give the hit a name?

I was at home yammering on about my 'review for a penalty' theory at home when it happened. Accidental play that put a stick in the face, and then a follupup disregard for the potential repercussions of it. 2 mins to curb behaviour.
