Either he's naturally slow getting off the bench, or he hesitated to wait for his teammates to get close enough to the bench before jumping out.

he jumped off the bench and immediately dropped his gloves to go hunt down phaneuf. the league isn't stupid to believe it was a line change.
that being said, the hit was a clean hit. was it necessary? absolutely not. phaneuf didn't have to fucking crush the guy, just bump into him to make the point clear: KEEP YOUR HEAD UP. this just makes people hate phaneuf more and the flames in general.
at least fluery had a good night! what a story to go from rock bottom back to NHL form. i still remember watching him when i was a kid in calgary, amazing player!
