Probably two games. At the time I thought it was a bit of a dive by McCarron. The replays show it was a pretty accurate and stiff shot.

Really though, McCarron was in full FAFO mode so that might make Beechers suspension 1 game.

It should be timed served but it won't. Friendly little pop to the face. No big deal.

Ouch. Talk about insult to injury for Beecher. Gets jumped in his 1st fight with dou<he McCarron, then injured in his 2nd fight with Hague, and now this.

That stinks for Johnny. And McCarron gets nothing for his 2 sucker punches to Beecher before Beecher can get going.

Other thing is if the stupid ass refs would've called the slash before committed by Weegar in the first place, none of this extra nonsense crap would've ever even happened.

But instead a needless suspension may happen to a Flames 4th line plug because damn refs don't do their job properly.

The suspension might be the least of his problems, depends how bad he hurt himself later.

What is McCarron receiving for his sucker punch to Beecher?

Can the flames pretend he's not injured for a couple games then his suspension is already served when healthy?

Not sure how McCarron comes out of this scott free. He was running around looking for trouble. Well, it found him.

To show how little ive watched the team, I've never heard of John Beecher before that clip. He's actually played a bunch of games.

Funny to hear Bieksa talk like he was an honorable fighter - spot picker!

Bizarre to give Beecher a hearing for this. This is an example of why the “code” is so stupid. It’s somehow OK to just start throwing at a player but not OK to throw a punch after the fight is “done”? lol

The fight was effectively over when the bell was rung. Specifically, McCarron's.

If there’s a fine there should be a go fundme set up. For carrying out justice in the fight between good and evil.

Seriously #### the nhl for this.

McCarron jumps him, a guy who never fights, and then switched off because the refs are in the vicinity and gets popped and Beecher gets suspended? You start the fight you keep your guard up until the opponent is away from you.

100% on McCarron for being a prick and an idiot

is there going to be a hearing for the guy that sucker-punched Tkachuk? Or is it only Flames that face disciplinary action?
