Makes me wonder given the "new NHL" full of fast skaters on their edges if you could ice a lineup full of tough guys and just lay into these smallish hockey players who you know cannot protect themselves?

Rasmus Anderson throws punches at Drew when he's on the ground, and the Kings don't do anything about it. They had the perfect opportunity to jump him with Clifford, MacDermid, and Wagner on the ice at the end of the game, and they wuss out. Typical.

it's always a balance right? we've swayed really far to the "soft" side, eventually a team is gonna do exactly that and check a bunch of soft swedes into the infirmary and the pendulum will swing

So, does NHL Player Safety dish out anything to those *****es from Calgary?
no chance

if it's not a concussion, they couldn't care less

that ridiculous 2 handed slash to the back of someone's knee the other day only got like a $5k fine

I.E.
Tkachuk completely giving up on the play and going for Drew's head again...
Tkachuk throwing punches from behind and clawing at Drew's face....
Andersson having opportunities to fight pretty much anyone on the Kings tonight, including Wagner at the very end of the game, but won't engage anyone except when he gets to rain punches from behind into the pile...
Gio with the sweet WWE Spear over the top of the dogpile to tackle Clifford...
Backlund chirping a goal when it makes it 4-1...
Hamonic randomly coming out to rough up Iafallo...
Rittich with the Mike Smith swing to the back of Iafallos legs

Flames "dynasty" ended last year, this clown show just exposed how gutless every single piece of their leadership team is.

Frankly Gio was the most disappointing one, he gave up and started hunting for knees again. And Tkachuk's 5-second run at Doughty at the end of the second was the exact moment you knew the Flames were toast.

"Rent free" indeed. Wish I could watch after hours, Drew would be great otnight

Suspensions and fines for everyone under five minutes. You mostly never see jumping anyone under five minutes. Those p***yes wouldn't have fought straight up.
