“Rooting for a loss” was probably the wrong way of putting it. It’s more like I still want them to win every game they possibly can.

We still had Dillon, Goodrow, and Pavs when the Blues headshotted us into oblivion with zero repercussions.

Ultimately a lot of teams have learned to just play so dirty that the bar is raised, because the refs can't call every single play.
It’s what the Kings always did when they won their cups. From puck drop they set the reffing standard. They interfered, clutched, grabbed and everything else. The refs, by being either cowards or just plain oblivious, allowed the standard to be set. If the refs asserted themselves properly from the start, like they’re supposed to, maybe things would have gone differently. But therein lies the problem, the refs are so weak and impressionable that the dirtier team gets an advantage.

why u guys want Celebrini, he played like a weenie
In last night's game, Clifford was roughing up Claesson in front of the net and then inadvertently elbowed Dubynk in the head. Dubynk gave him a chop to the back of the leg with his big stick. I mean, that was interesting. Something we haven't seem from a Sharks goalie in a very long time.
Apparently Dubynk has done that many times before with varying responses from the opposition.

Yet when we had Torres he got banished to another dimension for breathing by DoPs

41 games was excessive, but he didn’t get it for “breathing.” That was a late hit to the head by a guy who had already done it many times.

Wasn't later or worse than anything else that was going on in the league at the time

I remember it being mostly all shoulder to shoulder, too. I’m probably wrong though lol
The one against the kings in the playoffs was shoulder to shoulder but it went off that and hit him in the head too. The first point of impact was the shoulder though. That was the hit that set DW off and got him in trouble with the league for basically proving they were wrong in public. The others were bad enough he wasn't getting the benefit of the doubt.
The last one, was shoulder to shoulder and not even a glance off the head, that was a perfectly clean hit only thing wrong with it was the name of hitter.

They changed the rule the next offseason because of that hit. The DOPS literally charged a guy under a rule that hadn't been written yet.

With his size, he'll always be one of the biggest guys on the ice.
That could be an interesting aspect of the Sharks' budding enforcer game.
