The night took a nasty turn for the worse in the final minutes when Minnesota enforcer Derek Boogaard crushed Brandon Prust into the boards, even though Prust didn’t have the puck.
“He’s a menacing player,” said Flames head coach Mike Keenan. “The strategy of the coach was to put him out with a large deficit to try and take advantage of his physical attributes. I don’t mind people hitting, but he did leave his feet. He probably could have been assessed a major for doing so.
“The league will look at it.”
Update 4:43pm— As noted in the comment below, and via a TSN text alert, Boogaard earned a 5 game suspension for the hit.
