Bergevin will change the culture if some of his McCarron/Crisp/JDLR picks pan out. The previous regime went with our type of zero muscle lineup which only put them at the mercy of officials. Officials aren't there to be judges, they control game flow and will just as soon put 2 guys in the box as 1, and the retaliator in the box over the instigator. They don't care about fair. The team needs the sneaky in the shadows players that get into the heads of opposition and will dish out payback when it needs to be done.
Listen, I hate Matt Cooke, but he might have been a guy to have around last game. He's got "payback" down to an art. I mean the guy took out the Norris trophy defenseman on a blatent foul and got away with it. As for Lucic, he's a ****** but how many spears has he got away with? You know what they say about nice guys, they win Lady Byng trophies and finish with the virtual Classy Cup
It sickens me that there is no response to a dangerous play and the officials even turned it around to overpunish the retaliators.
