You need context with all those numbers.

A solid chop to an opponent's leg by Monahan to set a tone or as retaliation for constant chops and stickwork is an OK penalty by me.

A late game tripping penalty by Stajan that ruins the momentum are inexcusable.

Incidental penalties that happen down low by our defensemen will always happen and that's a reality of playing a sport where referee judgement is involved.

Tkachuk is just a beauty.

Some of the Flames younger core players (Hamilton, Tkachuk, Bennett) are undisciplined, and have a tendency to take bad penalties at bad times. Lack of discipline was a factor in the Ducks series. Hopefully they've learned some hard lessons, and will keep the sticks down. Hamilton, in particular, has to learn to stop swinging his stick at anyone who beats him to the outside. He's a good enough skater that he should be able to address threats with body positioning, rather than his stick.

Aside from Wideman being gone which should hopefully help. It's really only a few players who consistently take undisciplined and unnecessary penalties. From what I remember, Sam Bennett and Dougie Hamilton tend to take the most stick infractions and obstruction penalties. These guys are young and hopefully with more maturity and experience, they can learn better positioning to avoid putting themselves in bad situations.
