The NHL came down hard Sunday on Calgary, suspending Jamie McLennan for five games and fining Jim Playfair $25,000 and the team $100,000 for actions late in Game 5 of the Flames' first-round series against the Red Wings on Saturday. McLennan was given a match penalty for slashing Detroit's Johan Franzen in the midsection at 17:01 of the third period, one of four penalties the Flames were assessed for aggressive and illegal use of the stick (slashing or cross-checking) in the closing minutes of the Red Wings' victory. "In our pre-playoff conference calls with the coaches and general managers of the respective organizations, we addressed a number of topics and one of them was actions late in the game when the score was out of hand," NHL disciplinarian Colin Campbell said. "The coach and the organization must be held accountable for the players' actions." McLennan's suspension was to begin with Game 6 Sunday night in Calgary. Detroit led the series 3-2.
