Flames Martin Pospisil Gets Ejected After Second Questionable Hit of the Game Leaving Kraken Coach Furious
Martin Pospisil of the Calgary Flames just made himself enemy number one when it comes to the Seattle Kraken. The 24-year-old was ejected from last night's game after a second questionable hit, leaving the head coach of the Kraken furious.
In one sequence just seconds into the game, Pospisil drilled Adam Larsson into the boards with a hit that left many wondering why a penalty wasn't called.
In the third period of the game, Pospisil was given a five minute major for checking from behind and a game misconduct for this very dangerous hit on Vince Dunn.
Kraken coach Dave Hakstol had no issue giving his true thoughts on the hits at the end of the game, while also criticizing Pospisil for refusing to answer for his actions.
"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."
There's no word yet on whether Pospisil may be facing a hearing for his hit on Dunn. Seattle won the game 4-2.
