Touché - but there's always people that fall outside the boundaries. lol

People in the GDT were also clamoring for us to go after their skill players to injure them. I would think many of us who want the grit and toughness aren't wanting that (I know for certain I don't)

But I do want us to assert a physical game right out of the gate - and not wait for it to be fed to us.
I think we want the same thing. I just think that want is a bit more of a luxury than a need. I also think it would be a poor move to try to go out and acquire the toughness via trade or FA. We would be better served scouting these players and drafting talented guys with and edge or by changing the locker-room culture. Kakko and Laf were supposed to have some edge to their game, they have the frames as teenagers. I wouldnt be surprised if its being coached out of them.

Caps Fans saying Buch was kicking VV, anyone see any clips of that actually happening or is it all space dust?
Did no different then many scrums in front of the net. he didn't pitchfork the goalie or kick him. Show me the video.
What i do see is a coward wrapping his stick tight around someones neck and punching him in back of the head.

DOPS will do nothing. Had Wilson broken either Buch's or Artemi's neck, a la Bertuzzi on Moore, then, maybe, there would be discipline. As much as many would like to see Wilson out of the game, it's not worth the price required; another player with a broken neck. That's on the NHLPA, not the DOPS.

The suspensions havent been a deterrent for him. Hate to say it but you go out and hurt someone next game.

I think they'll still keep it, but we need a couple more guys who can take the next step in the rough-housing. (which we don't want Laf and Kakko getting too involved in)

I think we'd need to go the trade or FA route because we don't have the time to hope and see if a couple kids develop it...and would want it now for our prized youngsters (the lafs, kaks, foxes type-kids)

But those couple of guys I'm talking about wouldn't be kids, we need just a couple who been around the block a bit.

Cheers man

Someone on the main board posted a tweet with slow-mo vid of Wilson on Panarin. He grabs panarin by the hair and slams his head onto the ice. It's even worse than anything they showed on the broadcast.

The league already went against the standard definition of the rules to suspend wilson citing dangerous behavior in general. They have shown willingness to suspend Wilson if there's recklessness.

Uncle Larry tweeted it. The impact is frightening. He was slammed hard. So Wilson tries to kill 2 players. Let’s see what the NHL does ...
