I also like Ryan Fitzgerald as an option, granted he doesn’t fit this topic of “physical”.
See, I'm not hung up on the more physical piece, but I'm all in for getting better players if the price is right.

I don't get it though - are those the lines and the percentage of time he faced them - and why for just those three games?
Kind of what I mean though - takes an interference match penalty and gets jumped a few times for being a pain (not that there's anything wrong with that aside from taking the penalty).
I remember that hit. What an underrated awful “match penalty” for that one.
Dude, you're coming off as such a condescending twat. It seems like every response you have towards a post comes across like you're better than everyone. Knock it off, you're not.I can't tell if you're intentionally being obtuse or lack reading comprehension. I didn't say hits don't matter. At all. In fact, I said the opposite. To help you out, since you so clearly missed the point, I said physical play is physical play regardless of whether the hits are regular run of the mill hits or highlight reel hits that get shown on TSN and ESPN.
But hey, don't let reality get in your way. You're really rolling here...

To be fair, you've put views on me that aren't what I said either and had the same sort of response to some of the posts I have made. I'm all for a healthy debate, but the high horse crap isn't my cup of tea.At no point did I say I was better than anyone. All I'm doing is offering my opinion, whether you agree or not. In terms of how I'm coming off, I merely respond to people the way they respond to me. In this case, the guy has continually put views on me that are not what I said. He keeps generalizing and stating that I'm against hitting and think it doesn't matter because I said physicality isn't just big hits. If giving someone crap back that is constantly twisting what I've said makes me a dick, then so be it.
This is also 100% true. Too many guys get a free pass...It was also the last time I can remember one of our guys laying into a star player

I'll always think of the Ottawa series (I know it wasn't the direct reason they lost) but they knew Karlsson was hurt and it seemed like they had a restraining order from him. NO ONE made life hard on him. Instead he was able to globe trotter the entire Bruins team.
Got it 2 out of 5 isn't "most of the time.
What site has those stats?

If they can't hit a guy playing on one leg they had bigger issues than we thought. I'm not saying go and low bridge the guy. I'm saying swarm him, make him work harder than he had to. He simply had a free pass.Did the Penguins do this? How about the Rangers?
You make it sound so easy to target on of the most skilled D-men in the league. And it's not like Karlsson never got hit at all in that series.

You have to have players that are willing to run through walls for each other in the play-offs, and guys that hate to lose...Guys that come out of their comfort zones to raise their physicality.. up their effort overall. The regular season is a far different animal. Do you have those kinds of guys?

Did I miss any from this season?
Thats sad that its all from this season.
We need tough guys like Marc Savard who jumped Aver/Ott after whichever one hit Lucic.
To a degree. Players are still allowed to lay the body and get in his face.Ok, but what your talking about is a coaching thing far more than it is a personnel thing.
