Look at the Leafs right now? They’re absolutely rolling while dressing Ritchie, Simmonds & Clifford. The shittiest of those 3 would work over any Bruin, all day.
Simmonds loves that role, Clifford loves and embraces that role. Ritchie, while not the most aggressive at seeking out fights is very, very good at it.
Hell, they had Jason f***ing Spezza go try to take a guys head off who made a dirty play earlier in that game. Even the Leafs are buying in. I’m not saying you need to decapitate a dude, but they got the message and responded to it. Sometimes being there for your teammates is more of a benefit than winning a game in December.
