This is the mindset that has plagued the Canadiens for way too long. Starting from the management and down to a large population of fans.

Kronwall hits everything in sight. Diaz shies away from hits.

Kronwall has 24 points this season.

Diaz has 16 points this season.

There are physical DMen in the NHL who hit, score and block shots. Diaz isnt one of them. And that, along with the softies Weber, Kaberle and Campoli, is one of the main reasons we are where we are in the playoff race this season.
