NHL Suspends Flames Goalie 5 Games<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The NHL came down hard Sunday on Calgary, suspending goalie Jamie McLennan for five games and fining coach Jim Playfair $25,000 and the team $100,000 for actions late in Game 5 of the Flames’ first-round series against the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday.<\/p>\n

McLennan was given a match penalty for slashing Detroit’s Johan Franzen in the midsection at 17:01 of the third period, one of four penalties the Flames were assessed for aggressive and illegal use of the stick (slashing or cross-checking) in the closing minutes of the Red Wings’ 5-1 victory. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hometown columnist Jeff Gordon writes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Upon further review, former Blues goaltender Jamie “Noodles” McLennan has a nasty temper after all.<\/p>\n

During his 18-second stint in Saturday’s Flames-Red Wings game \u2014 in relief of Calgary starter Mikka Kiprusoff \u2014 Jamie went crazy. Twice McLennan hacked Detroit forward John Franzen in the legs, a la Ron Hextall or Billy Smith.<\/p>\n

Then he really flipped out, chopping Franzen in the midsection, leaving him doubled over on the ice. UFR never saw this side of Noodles when he was here.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Au contraire, Mr. Gordon. In a playoff game against San Jose, I saw Jamie McLennan skate 178 feet to have a go with Nikolai Khabibulin. Now that’s joining the gameplay.<\/p>\n

In my book, if Jamie McLennan whacks you, you deserved a whacking. Also, not you have been whacked by someone who goes by Jamie. That’s harder to live with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
