He was in the blue for the purpose of giving, so why would we be surprised when he gets a few shots thrown his way. I like Anderson. Wish he were an Oiler. Guy plays on the edge. He gave our midget something to think about. That’s all.
I am not as down on the Flames as many are. If Johnny and Seanny start playing to their abilities, and the rest of the team plays Sutter hockey, they may surprise. You’ve got good D and goaltending.
Finally, if Treliving has shown one thing, he will be bold in trying to improve the team. His arse is definitely on the line. I think they have a jersey with Eichel already sewn on the back.

I watched the replay a dozen times trying to see the "big" headbutt and the most I saw was some head contact that usually happens when guys lockup in close proximity.
What I had a problem with (and take the size difference out of the equation) is the 3 hay makers Andersson threw while Yamo's arms and hands were tied up by the ref. That is down right cheap and equivalent to hitting a guy while is is unable to defend himself.
