do you have any idea how retarded that is?
2 other things...
1) if 99% of people tell you thar jumping off the bridge is a bad but you don't, shouldn't that mean something? (that's just to counter your ridiculous statement atthe beginning o your post)
And 2) why am I the sheep? You're the one that's pro management at all costs, that gives excuses for everything that happens. It's the complete opposite, you're the sheep! I'm the one saying "hey,we're not perfect, we have a need on this team, let's go get it."
If you think I'm going to let some pacifists call me delusional when u saw more the once our star players going back to the bench completely discouraged with their heads between their tales because they had to defend themselves... This board is going to be a lot of fun in the next months..

Actually, you just proved his point, just because a majority acts or thinks a certain way, it does not make them right.
Just because 29 teams have goons does not mean they are key or important. You obviously feel they are, and that is okay, the problem starts when people ask you to prove it, to which you respond that you cant.
Figting does not prevent anything. Some may think it prevents things from worsening, but there is no way to prove that.
In the other hand, we can see playwrs get cheap shotted despite having a goon, sometimes more than one, on the roster. The logical conclusion would obviously be that it isnt preventive.
Now, the intimidation factor. That is also very mythical seeing how there will never be an enforcer on the ice for the whole game. So anyintimidation he might bring will disappear as soon as he's off the ice. Lucic never seemed intimidated by BGL despite never wanting to figth him. You talk of instances where our players walked to the bench with their heads down, but they won the game, which is more important.
Look at every game, for every team, players tend to have theirheads down all the time when skating to the bench. Youjust have your own beliefs and views. Throug youreyes, you see intimidation. I dont see any of that.
