I mean, the Thornton hit, you can debate. But the slash by Dillon at the very end of game definitely merits a suspension. Whether or not Bowey's hand turns out to be broken, Dillon ought to sit for at least 2-3 games, IMO.

As for the Sharks, they don't strike me as a dirty team at all, typically. But tonight's game did get nasty, from the Oshie concussion onward.

I knew Dillon would react after being hit and interfered with in the waning moments of a loss, but that wasn't the smartest way to go about it, especially with slashing being the new league hot button.

Calgary can't fire their coach soon enough

We could trade coaches. And, yes, that was a crap call against the Flames.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Ekholm is absolutely obsessed with fake tough cheap shots after the whistles. Nashville thinks they're tough, targeting the likes of Bergeron several times. Rather pitiful.

Tell you what, take Gulutzan for Hakstol and we'll throw in Dave Cameron. Hakstol can be Sutters assistant

Is Pete new to hockey or something?

Baby needs a pacifier.

That's not what happened though. Wilson didn't grab Thornton. He asked Thornton if he wanted to go and Thornton said yes.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Subban starts a scrum and as is typical of him the first player to run for cover when a player gets in his face over it.

 

[Il Stugotz]

It’s such a bizarre complaint. Thornton is the biggest guy on the ice, a veteran of 1,600 games played, and he accepted a fight with a clean square off.

Better that fight than Wilson headhunting Pavelski or something.

[PatriceBergeronFan]

What a defense. It does not change anything. One thing to act tough if one is tough, Nashville is not. Hence they needed to target the Bergeron line of all lines.

 

[ThirdManIn]

There's no reason for a defense. Your bias is clear. So is mine. What's the point? We got the win. That's all that really matters.

 

[Advanced stats]

Mike Smith has finally come back to earth from his hot start. 17 goals against in less than 5 games. That was bound to happen sooner or later.

 

[Liferleafer]

Can i just say the bitterness and bitching in this thread is awesome...like every fan seems pissed in here...lol.

 

[JPeeper]

How can 2 guys who get paid to officiate a game call a high sticking penalty on Frolik when his stick is in the corner battling for the puck and Philly's own guy high sticks him? Like, come on.

Can't the officials get together over something like this and reverse the call if the other ref or even linesman saw something different. They do it with the stupid delay of game penalty.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Good job hamonic

 

[aufheben]

Dude, Gulutzan's reaction to Hamonic being ejected was just...lol

 

[Snakepit]

That might be the worst/most tame game misconduct penalty ive ever seen. Im not even mad, im laughing. Gulutzans reaction was priceless

 

[Tkachuky]

Good job hamonic

How sweet of you. More like good job refs

 

[Del Preston]

Brad Watson doing Brad Watson things in Calgary.

 

[JPeeper]

Horrific call.

Hamonic goes for the hit and Weise tries to dodge it and brushes Hamonic's jersey = 5 minute major.

 

[Crosstraffic]

They called it a match penalty? Watson needs his eyes checked.

 

[Snakepit]

That'd be a bad call if it was made on the fly, but to review it and still come to that conclusion is just hilarious

 

[JPeeper]

So in this game the Flames have taken a high sticking penalty where Philly clipped his own guy while there was no Flames stick in sight and now a 5 minute major for hitting to the head, when he didn't hit him in the head.

What's next? David Rittich taking a goalie interference call by sitting on the bench?

Yeah, sorry Flames fans, but that really was funny.
