[ninty]

A lot of the actions taken by Calgary players today was unacceptable, but I don't blame them for what happened.

The refs were totally unable to keep control of this game because they did not make any of the calls and the players took this into their own hands.

I called this when it happened:

Draper tries to elbow Nilson in the head:

Then Nilson went after Draper and the media just goes wild about how Nilson is the worst guy on the planet. Nice that Draper will try to elbow a guy in the head but will not drop them against a non-fighting Sweedish guy when it's time to collect the bills.

Mclennan went nutzoid, but Detroits forwards have been in Calgary's crease all series. Kipper got ran a lot this game. I think Jamie saw that and wasn't going to take any shit or putt any punches.

The hit on Langkow was pretty low and pretty dirty in my books. Basically going for the knees. A denny gauthier hit.

So if Iggy were to get games for spearing, give Draper games for intent in injure.
