No I don’t need revenge, but a response in the form of an invitation to fight, gloves punch or something was needed.Do you NEED revenge?
Or do you think no response was the better option

I wonder what Pacific division teams are thinking watching this.. Pettersson hunting season?
Exactly. People who have never played team sports don't get how much something like that resonates. It doesn't have to be a blood bath! It's all about the gesture of letting the other team know that's not acceptable, and what that means to YOUR team, especially the victimized player.2 minute minor dirty...2 minute minor dirty doesn't rise to the level of Armageddon....however there should have been SOME response, even if it was skating over to him and shaking him around a little.

I'd honestly rather see the team go after Lewis than score a goal there. Good teams will find a way to score and back each other up. The pushback doesn't need to be immediate either.Scoring a goal in the ensuing power play? Yeah, inexcusable.

Sooo if one of the Canucks players had grabbed Matheson and forced him to fight the next time another player saw a chance to hit Elias they would pass it up because they're... afraid? Do you seriously believe that?
To sum it up, I believe sticking up for your teammate after something like that is as much a message to that player and your OWN team as it is to the other team. It a not just about bloodlust and a need for violence and retribution. It's about showing that you have a good damn pulse!
he's the mouthpiece for this regimeIMac, I love how he's taking a condescending tone when the entire fanbase is peeved.
You would too if you were him. We're mongoloids.IMac, I love how he's taking a condescending tone when the entire fanbase is peeved.

I mean, we're also his primary audience? Seems dumb, but I guess he's got a lot of job security.You would too if you were him. We're mongoloids.
No IMac, I dunno if you watch any teams outside of the Canucks, but there's not only a black and white outlook on this. You don't need to drop everything and throw the game out in order to push back. You can play hard, throw some hard, clean hits, and take your pound of flesh. The Canucks didn't do any of that, they played softer afterwards.
Nothing wrong with a clean hit but they might think twice about cheaply body slamming him... duh
I think you are truly missing the point. We do not need revenge, we just needed a response.
