PL3 has played FOUR games in the NHL since he was banished by us. I'm not sure why some people really think he'll be called up.
If he is called up though, I really think it is ass backwards myself.
This is a 30 year old that's played a half dozen NHL games in the last half a decade.
And I'm one of the oldest guys on here I would bet, and I'm still tired of this old fashioned ''Every team needs a goon to protect their starts from other team's goons, especially in this tough division where the Rangers and Flyers players are running amok on everyone else''.
I think this theory is very old fashioned and outdated. One dimensional goons have no place in this league anymore, they're all being phased out like I explained the other night. It's why so few of them have full time NHL gigs anymore, a lot of them aren't even in North America anymore or even in the game at all.
And while I would agree that we've seen some dirty **** from the Flyers, let's be serious here. When was the last time we needed one of our goons to protect us from something the Rangers or any other team did to one of our starts fairly recently? The only example I can think of is Bortuzzo's hit on Jagr last year, which Tootoo (despite being much smaller in size) had no problem taking care of.
