Bad call… #NHL has allowed redirected goals off the skate all season long. There is no way they could have definitively deemed that to be a kicking motion. #whatever

I like to think that I make my own decisions without outside influence… What happened to #47 Adam Johnson definitely influenced this decision. Why take the chance, even in men’s league? especially in men’s league. RIP Adam Johnson 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

It looked like the #Flames D-man, TJ Brodie had a seizure of some sort on the ice. Practice was halted immediately. The ambulance and fire department have arrived on the scene and stretched a conscious and, what looked like, an alert Brodie out of the Saddledome.
