Two things...
1. We're retaliating against teams, not initiating. Yes, we had last change tonight, but when Alberts got knocked out by McGrattan, there was nothing that happened during that game to make Calgary take notice that we're not gonna take that crap.
Ditto when Hanzal injured 3 guys last game. Nothing.
Ditto when Brown ran over Luongo. We retaliated a game later.
Ditto when Bertuzzi took out Moore. So you can see when retaliation can go a bit too far.
2. Did Torts honestly expect us to believe that Henrik's Ironman streak isn't pretty important to Henrik? Not only that, but it's important to nobody but the media, who apparently invented it? 'Waddaya guys call it? Oh yeah, the Ironman streak...'
We have the right coach at the wrong time. Now the coach is the star.
Him being all alone at the bench to start the 2nd was fairly symbolic.
