Flames-Stars first period ends in absolute chaos

It took practically a full time period of participate in for Flames-Stars to get unattractive.

In what promises to be an interesting series involving the Pacific Division winner Flames and wild-card Stars, Sport 1 was sidetracked by a several fights breaking out.

The melee — in which a defenseman from every aspect was tossed — began in the ultimate seconds of the very first interval, when Calgary’s Matthew Tkachuk shoved Dallas’ John Klingberg to the ice.

Stars winger Michael Raffl then stood up for his teammate and engaged with Tkachuk in a extended battle in which both landed blows.

By this point, the hockey was overlooked. Another battle broke out amongst Klingberg and Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson. Both gained a match misconduct penalty and were ejected for staying involved in a battle right after one more had begun.

“I’m not saying I’m a difficult dude, but he’s acting harder than he is,” Klingberg instructed reporters of Andersson soon after the Flames’ 1- gain. “I really feel like he’s the a person dude there in the scrum who does not have a male. I’m standing there with [Blake] Coleman, and he’s standing and shaking his gloves to me like, ‘You want to go against me.’ Possibly the minimum fighter on our staff on the ice there.

“I’m skating above to him and dropping my gloves and I want to go, but he’s just standing there two seconds and then all of a unexpected he drops the gloves. He’s acting a tiny tougher than he is, and we’re likely to go after him.”
