I want a player to do like Nilan used to tell the opposing team "you rough up the kids, I'll snap your neck" or something like that 
I don't wanna see Eller, Patch, DD and so on getting bullied into fighting when that's not what they do at all. Subban to an extent, but since he talks ****, he stands up for himself every now and then and that's fine. |
It wasn't exactly directed at you, but the people who seemingly have no idea what they want, but use the "toughness" angle to bash management because it's our weakest aspect.
They need to stop using Lucic and Chara as examples as if every other team in the league has anyone like these two.
I'd take more guys with the tenacity and willingness to hit/skate hard like Clutterbuck, or Tootoo over a designated tough guy. I wish Moen were younger/faster, and I wish White was better defensively, but I think the only real useful guys we can add to this team would have to be made through trades.
