The Calgary Flames grab the convincing 4-1 victory over the Florida Panthers on Friday

night, playing strong hockey for a full 60 minutes against the two-time defending Stanley

Cup champs.

But the post-game buzz quickly shifted from the win to a scary hit on Flames forward

Conor Zeri, late in the third period.

With the Flames up 2-1, just past the 11-minute mark, Zeri chased a loose puck near the

boars when Panthers forward.

AJ, Greer shoved him from behind, sending Zeri crashing headfirst into the wall.

Zeri stayed down briefly for evaluation, but skated off on his own and didn't return

to the game.

Fans and analysts lit up social media, calling the hit Dirty and Reckless with many pushing

for a suspension.

Flames coach Ryan Huska said, Zeri was moving around fine afterward, but no further medical

update came out right away.

The play earned Greer a major penalty for interference, plus a game misconduct on top of his earlier

hooking call, leading to a long power play where the Flames tacked on two more goals

to seal the win.

Greer has a history of rough stuff, including a one-game suspension last year and a recent

fine.

We'll keep an eye on the NHL's Department of Player Safety as they review the tape decisions

like this, often hinge on intent, player history, and injury risk.

So more news could drop soon.
