Edgier means dirty, right? And that makes him a better player?
Wow, just wow.
No, by "edgier" what I mean is that a guy has more "compete", that he's a true Money Player. Comes through when the chips are down & thrives in pressure situations. Bob Pulford, Henri Richard, Keon & Gilmour, Bob Gainey, Paul Henderson.... These (and others) were "edgy".... Edgy can also include provided the guys got the aforementioned a mean mouth and a "threat" of violence, danger. A guy like Mark Messier for example. He was "edgy" and sure, sometimes dirty as was Gordie Howe, Stan Mikita, Ted Lindsay, Derek Sanderson and plenty of others.
