GDT: Burning players from Calgary vs Choke Artists from Carolina

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Somewhere in this thread someone asked when the last time we hurt a star player was. Didn’t they take out both Getzlaf and Perry this year (and still managed to lose both games)?

Eric Staal taking out his brother.

Your team really needs to go get Evander Kane right now. Maroon or Kassian. Did you see how Anaheim took care of business against LA Saturday night for a cheap shot a couple months ago on Ondrej Kase? Your team needs tough guys

Yes we know that. The last time we faced this issue, with Jeff Skinner having his brains scrambled for him every year we went out and got Kevin Westgarth, the largest enforcer in captivity at the time IIRC. Who then proceeded to have a career low number of fights and didn't "enforce" a damn thing.

Aho will come back from this and learn to skate with his head up like Skinner did. I think Calgary was the team that taught him that lesson as well
