Oh come on. The Flames are up 4-0, we're already dealing with lots of injuries, why the hell would players like Phaneuf risk injury fighting a nobody like Stortini?
There were two fights still in the game anyway, and the Oilers were on the losing end of both of them in terms of getting the worst of it.
Stortini was clueless out there. He has no agitating skill whatsoever, he just goes around asking people to fight near the end of the game when there's no reason to...it had nothing to do with "hiding" from somebody who'd easily get his ass handed to him than smart players not buying into it. Stortini was eventually given a misconduct for his "play".
A pretty classless team all around, the Oilers. Did you guys get two misconducts that game? Good on ya. When you can't play hockey, resort to goonery. That's what Smith did anyway, with his slash.
