Flames coach Mike Keenan lacks — how shall we put this — perspective?
His Flames lose a game 4-1 to the Canadiens in Montreal on Tuesday night, a game in which the Canadiens lose Mathieu Dandenault indefinitely with a broken right arm and Christopher Higgins for a while with the proverbial ‘upper-body injury,’ perhaps a shoulder separation.
And what is Keenan doing in the full flush of a disappointing road loss? Complaining about a non-call on Canadiens defenceman Andrei Markov for what appeared to be an incidental knee-on-knee hit on Flames franchise defenceman Dion Phaneuf, who emerged from the loss uninjured?
Does this clown — John Mackinnon — really think that Keenan is going to go out of his way to make a case for the Canadiens guys? I think the point is that this looked like malicious intent, and the other two injuries were an unfortunate occurrence. Whether Phaneuf was injured or not isn’t the point — the point is that they need to crack down on these knee-on-knee hits to make sure that we don’t lose the stars of the game to lengthy injuries. In other words, the fact that Mackinnon doesn’t get it isn’t Keenan’s problem.
