Calgary Flames Player Faces Suspension After Being Ejected For Multiple Dirty Hits
Martin Pospisil of the Calgary Flames sparked controversy in last night's game against the Seattle Kraken, drawing ire from the opposing team.
His aggressive play led to his ejection after delivering two questionable hits, leaving Kraken head coach Dave Hakstol visibly frustrated.
Early in the game, Pospisil's hit on Adam Larsson raised eyebrows, with many questioning why it didn't result in a penalty.
Then, in the third period, he received a five-minute major for checking from behind and a game misconduct for a dangerous hit on Vince Dunn.
After the game, Hakstol didn't mince words, calling Pospisil's actions "garbage" and criticizing him for not answering for his behavior.
"Garbage. But really not whole lot different than the first hit 6-7 seconds into the game. You gonna run around like that, you probably need to answer when somebody comes at you man-to-man and that didn't happen either."
As of now, it's uncertain if Pospisil will face further disciplinary action for his hit on Dunn. Despite the controversy, the Seattle Kraken emerged victorious with a 4-2 win.
