No, I'm questioning the wisdom of a team full of Lady Byng candidates, and whether you want to admit it or not, Euro players tend to play a cleaner game.
I want players who push back.
I want players who don't hide behind officials or turtle on the ice when challenged to a fight.
I want guys who make Shea Weber pay IMMEDIATELY for plowing Zetterberg into the boards instead of whining to the media for suspensions.
They don't all need to be like this... but our mix of players in 98 was much better than it is today.
