TK's tough in a go-getter sense. He'll drop them. Do you mean we need those fisticuffs?
No. Look at Oshie today Didn't fight, was noticeable almost every shift. Even Wilson today too. Another effective game. Scored, caused us to take a retaliatory penalty. Hit.
I said yesterday, we lack that edge. Look at how the 2 Tkachuks play. Energy, edge, toughness, will....call it what you want...we lack it. And I don't think out top F prospects have it either in Frost, Farabee or Ratcliffe.
At least on D we have the size and skill to hope that Myers and Morin come along and have that. But I also am willing to say that we have been neutered so much by Hakstol, that hopefully a new coach can help instill it in our guys, like a TK. Oshie is 5'11 and 180 but plays way bigger. No reason why we can't have that too.
