League findings expected to come out this afternoon. #Flames #Canucks

Certainly looking like Engelland will be the only player suspended.

 

[mattola]

all cool.

pretty new here. Although been here for a couple of years.

Btw my heart is Blue and Green. My original 6 allegiance is with Bruins

 

[Judge Fudge]

ha. I get that alot

So no suspension for Engelland and Hartley fined $50,000 - Flames can't complain about that outcome, I should say.

Neither can the Canucks really:
League agrees Hartley is an asshole and by extension the Flames are filth,
Engelland continues to get shifts

A hat trick of a different kind...

Sportsnet Stats @SNstats
#Flames Bob Hartley hasnow been fined 3 times for a total of $85,000 during his career as an NHL head coach.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

I have rescinded the idea that canucks would be better off with engelland suspended game 3

#Flames GM Brad Treliving: "I’m somewhat confused at why our coach was fined… we stand behind our coach and players 100 %."

Geez, it's great to see this again at the Saddledome...

 

[esls79]

So Engelland tied Dave Schultz's record of 42 penalty minutes in a playoff game and set the record for penalty minutes in a period. I guess a belated congrats is in order.

the rear doors for the equipment truck left open or something?

Canucks bus stuck in traffic, so they hop off and walk to the stadium.
mixed in with the ComicCon people

 

[mattola]

George Stroumbolopolous just said that the Saddledome was going to light up like a Jan Arden and Nickleback double bill tonight..

I really hope so George.. I really hope so because that sounds awful

I always liked the Chicago Bulls intro music...

Hartley needs to be suspended just as if a player fights and is suspended, but here Hartley is the instigator telling his players to do the work he can't seem to be capable of doing himself. What a sap!

I can't believe a Flyers fan didn't like that old time hockey...

Hartley has been doing this for too long - he needs to get an unpaid vacation! This is really bush league stuff that belongs in the 70s.

I think a $50,000 fine will likely restrain him from doing it again in these playoffs. The funny thing is if you look at the number of fighting majors accessed to each of the players there were on the ice when everything went down, the Canucks have a healthy lead on the Flames.
